I issued an invitation for a visa to my man with receipt at this consulate. He couldn't make an appointment because the recording doesn't work. But one "kind" employee advised to contact an intermediary company, where they can apply for a visa for $ 225. It is a shame for such representatives of our country!
The consulate, which answered the phone call, listened carefully, advised to formulate a question by e-mail, quickly responded to the letter, explaining how to act correctly. Unfortunately, I do not know the name of the employee I spoke with on the phone, but thank you to all the staff of the consulate.
Thank you very much to the employee named Andrey, who politely and patiently answered all my questions
The appeal to the consular department was on 05/27/2022
