Consulate General of Denmark

This review is long over due, first of all i would like to thank Peter for his kindness and patient with my visa process. This is not my first visa, but it was the first self service visa so there was a few set back and working with a green card that was going to expire soon. Since there was delay in my paper work, and it was down to a week (or two) before my traveling plans, I was almost sure that my plans will be cancel. But once all my paper work was in, my visa was approved in a just fews days. This consulate was very accommodating and informative, i would definitely recommend this consulate to anyone that wants to apply for a schengen visa!

Avoid this consulate like the black plague! First of all, they have outsourced the visa processing to a firm called Travisa, which charges an additional $ 65 for their services and courier. You end up paying $ 140 for the visa and they will not even act on the petition for 2 weeks. Then out of the blue, you receive a call from the consular officer, peppering you with questions, trying to prove you guilty and questioning your intent. Why 3 nights in Copenhagen, why only one night in Paris, what will you do in Denmark, why Denmark (I asked that to myself soon after this call and I had no answer)!!! Who calls you up for an effing tourist visa? Either approve or reject the request and move on, you jobless morons. Spend your hard earned money at another consulate where you actually get to speak to one of the officials that represent the country to avoid such surprises like I did, at half the cost! Never again Denmark! Thanks for making the already messed up Schengen visa application process even worse, bravo!!!

Best consulate ever!
This was my 5^th time getting a schengen visa, and nth time getting visas of some sort or another, and I’m pretty sure this is the best consulate I have ever interacted with. They were really helpful on the phone answering questions while I was preparing my application. And also their online application system is really good and makes everything really streamlined, and everyone in the consulate was very pleasant and reasonable (quite a change from other US/​Schengen consulates).
And best of all: I went for the visa interview on Friday, and Monday morning (today) 9:35 am, I got the visa in hand at home from the Fedex guy. Not sure at all how that happened. They must have processed and posted it on Friday itself. Incredible!
