Nice service.

ON FEBRUARY 25, 2022 I FILLED OUT ALL THE NECESSARY PAPERS AND STEPS TO RECEIVE MY FIRST ID. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT COULD ARRIVE IN MAY 2022, BUT INDEPENDENTLY THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE CONSULATE TO PICK IT UP. WAIT UNTIL SEPTEMBER. HAVING NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION, I SENT AN EMAIL TO THE CONSULATE. NO RESPONSE. I TRIED TO CALL. THEN I SENT AN EMAIL AGAIN. WITHOUT AN ANSWER I STARTED TO INVESTIGATE WHERE MY ID COULD BE. I FOUND A REPORT IN THE REGISTRY THAT MY ID ARRIVED AT THE COLOMBIAN CONSULATE IN CHICAGO ON JUNE 13, 2022. FRUSTRATED THAT NOBODY CALLED ME, I SENT ANOTHER EMAIL WHICH WAS ALSO IGNORED BY THE OFFICE. TODAY OCTOBER 27, 2022 I WENT TO THE OFFICE WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE IF I COULD GET MY ID. THEY TOLD ME I STILL NEEDED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET MY ID. THE PROBLEM IS THE LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY ON THE PART OF THE CONSULATE. IT IS ALSO THE LACK OF ORGANIZATION AND EMPATHY. I TRIED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER, BUT ALL PLACES WERE FULL. SO NOW I'M STRUCK WAITING ANOTHER MONTH TO GET A DOCUMENT THAT HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE OFFICE FOR MONTHS. I AM BEYOND ANGRY AND DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS IS A SHARED PROBLEM. I HAVE HEARD MANY COLOMBIANS SUBMIT COMPLAINTS, BUT THOSE IN CHARGE AT THE CONSULATE STILL DO NOT DO ANYTHING TO RELIEVE OUR PROBLEMS.

Believe me that this Consulate is the Glory, in the others, it is a crazy thing, my request for help for a detained family member, was impeccable, they attended our request immediately, the person who was in charge of the case, was diligent and very empathetic with our need. Totally different thing with the Atlanta Consulate, zero management, zero community service and zero empathy.

Questions & Answers

How sad it is to call the Consulate and only find machines, you cannot talk to a human being. Can someone please inform me if the Consulate in Chicago is open on Sunday? Someone told me that it will be successful in the exte commented day.

maria dejesus | Nov 4, 2018
Diana Galvan | Nov 4, 2019

Not only is calling depressing, but the service is slow, malaclases, rude, if they do not like the work because they will not give up, sometimes sad to have to depend on them.

Aymer Acevedo | May 7, 2022
alberth ruiz | May 7, 2022

Yes, in this consulate the appointments are generated every 15 days, the platform is enabled from the 15th day of the current month and the first day of the starting month and the platform allows you to schedule appointments until they are available, otherwise you have to wait for another cycle of 15 days.
