| Hi all,
Update on my visa application process - Went to collect the original documents and passport from the Bangalore Consulate today. It is one of the most rude experience i have ever had in my life.
The lady officer at the collection counter number 1 is too rude, impatitent and her mind is closed to reason, common sense and logic. I collected my documents and since i already knew the reason for rejection, asked her if she could tell the exact reason why my marriage certi could not be verified. No reply except - "I gave you the documents, right. Go thru them." When i persisted, told me to wait.
Since i had reached right at 2pm, i was made to wait till 3pm. I was called by abt 3.15pm bcuse she was bsy with the Thomas Cook guys n totally pally with them. These guys also had their cell phones on in the consulate and this officer was teling them some contact numbers too. Aint all the cell phones supposed to be swiched off?
When i went thr again, she kept harping on the same point, today you got the rejection letter, go thru it. If you have a problem, write to the email id. I told her that i have already written to this email id, marking the German office and that i get replies from the German office, but never from the Bangalore Consulate.
Also, pls note, that a stinker mail was written by the Admin head of my wife's university on 12th June,13 marking the Berlin office. All my certis had a verification sticker mentioning 14th June,13. No action was taken till thy got the stick from Germany.
Also, before going, i had read upon the appeal process and the authorities to connect with. This officer didnt tell anything and just kept shouting that write the mail to the email id. Post that, when i asked for the appeal process, she was like - Yeah, you can appeal if you want. Thn kept quiet, no help to the applicant on how to make the appeal process, who to connect with, who to write to.
I am planning to appeal and will keep the members updated on the progress, if any. My wife is planning to write to the authorities in Berlin, with support from her university and hoping for a resolution of this situation.
Will welcome any more suggestions and thoughts!!
