Buffalo In person TRV??

[manek]

Any one applied for TRV in person at buffalo recently like in Nov-Dec 2011? I got my work permit renewed and want to go to buffalo for in person TRV because I am going to vacation in January and need visa urgently.
Thanks

Hi Manek,

I had applied earlier, around first week of October.

I reached the visa office at 10.30 (I was told I was lucky as I was the last person they were going to let in for the day). I had my TRV at 12.45.

So if you get there by 8.30 am and have a complete and correct application, a same day TRV is almost guaranteed (well... only as guaranteed as any visa will ever be).

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info Kowalski. I am little worried because of christmas holiday season.

Me too... I've submitted my TRV application last week at Buffalo thru mail (US visa expired )

Do you have any idea about the recent processing times? I know they were quite long (45-50 calender days on average) around June-August. Do you know if things have changed  since then?
