I have dealt with embassies all over the world, and this one is by far the worst. They will not respond to any messages, and they are never there to answer their phone. Their voicemail box is nearly always full. I also learned they are not even able to process any visas themselves. They send all the information back to DRC to get it processed. I have even involved my state Representative that my family knows well, and they will not even respond to him. Despite confirmation that they received my package and cashed my check, they never gave me my visa and still have not given me back my passport two months later. Perhaps things will chance in the future, but trying to get a visa right now is just throwing your money away and possibly losing your passport as well. I lost over $200 on the visa, $195 on a second passport, and hundreds more on my flight to get my expedited passport in time for my trip in July.
