I do not think the same, I have visited the consulate twice to renew my children's passports and everything has gone very well, I have only made sure to bring all the documents they ask for, arrive at the time I made the appointment and do what they ask They don't usually help you if you don't have all the documents you need to bring, so my experience has been very good.
I don't have to comment
