Swiss consulate in New York provided outstanding service during my parents' visa application process. We are beyond happy! Firstly, they are professional. The whole application is quite streamlined, starting from the instructions, list of required paperwork, to online application form filling and online payment, to the appointment making system and final interview. My friend just applied with another Schengen member country, he said they did not have a clear list so he needed to add stuff after interview (luckily he was not in a rush), he could not even find how much the fee is and had to google, and he had to get a money order (or certified check) from the bank so no online payment. Secondly, they are efficient. After our appointments were made, I realized that we might be in a big trouble as we planned another international trip that'd be less than 10 days after the interview. If we did not get the passports back in time, my parents would have to miss the trip. Guess what, on the 3rd business day after the interview we received the passports+visa. Very impressed! (but please do not count on this information to make your plans. On their website, it's said that reviewing and making the visa will take up to 15 days if it's not a complicated case) Lastly, the staff were kind and responded promptly to my quite a few email inquires which relieved a lot of my stress from pressing time. When I wanted to make an interview appointment I noticed that the earliest slot was already our fly out date to Europe. I emailed them and was suggested to keep refreshing the page and cancellation happens almost daily. And luckily it was so! Due to my sluggish planning, the visa application was nerve wrecking to begin with. Swiss consulate made things happen and our experience could not be better, so I feel obligated to post a good review to express my gratitude.
