For me it was only 6 months or less, but that's specifically because I applied in a place that has a low wait time, on purpose. So I'm very happy about how it all turned out. If I was here in Houston and waiting a long time then a service like this - which I've been to visit on two occasions for other people that I was helping with their applications - and which Barbi uses regularly for her day job, which includes legally helping people with their applications - is a very good facility to have indeed.

Even if you drive an hour and keep calling you'll be at the place before they answer. Then there's only one person for IC cards!?? No appointments available a month out!! Because they don't have anyone to work. As many times as I have been here. It has been least helpful place and people. There was one officer tried to help. But ID is a nightmare.. I wish I could have better experience but after driving 1.5 hour one way. I can't believe this place sucks the life out. They close at 4pm, there's no sense of public service here.

We love attending the Commemorative Air Force (C.A.F.) Houston Wing Open House each year. Its…read moreinexpensive (only $10 per car) and our kids love being able to get up close with all of the aircrafts and learning about the history of the vintage planes. Their little museum is really fascinating, so be sure not to miss it. The employees and volunteers are friendly and knowledgeable. Don't forget to bring sunscreen because their isn't much shade outside of the main hangar and cash - some of the planes request donations for photo ops, but all money raised benefits their efforts. If you get hungry, they sell hotdogs ($2), hamburgers ($3), chips, soft drinks and snacks (cash only). They also sell rides in some of the planes, our kids had fun just watching them take off and land. If you can't make the open house, the museum is open to the public on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month from 10am to 3pm. They also have a cadet program for kids to learn about the planes from the pilots and be a part of their support team.

I only came here for one thing which was world-cup related and they were pretty helpful, but weren't able to fix the issue, and that's what I needed but still not bad at all.

Get rid of rude and disrespectful workers in this consulate who tell applicants pure garbage…read more We went to this consulate to apply for my 8-year old Philippine citizen daughter. I am a US citizen and lives in Texas. My daughter lives in the Philippines and waiting to emigrate to join us. I have her passport and birth certificate proving I am his father. The interviewer asked me for a Power of Attorney?!?. So I asked what's the power of Attorney for? He went away from the interview window and grabbed a Power of Attorney form and answered me that since my daughter is already 8 years old and not 6 years old, she now needs to consent to me bringing her to Japan. They are asking me to have my daughter who is a minor to sign a legal document. I asked for the Supervisor, and sure enough, he stood by what the first interviewer asked me - A Power of Attorney signed by my 8-year old daughter consenting. Does this mean in Japan, parents need to furnish a Power of Attorney signed by their minor children as a proof of their consent that they are traveling with their parents. The interviewer and the supervisor of this consulate should be both FIRED!

The reason so many soldiers kill themselves. Rather than actually help the veterans, they rather…read moregive a bunch of run around answers. They mess up something and Instead of correcting it in a timely manner, they push you off to a charity for the homeless. The phone operators need better training considering they give out conflicting information constantly rather than be honest or helpful. Soldiers give up because we've realized what's the point? The va thinks that suspending someone's file (because their employee didn't make sure to update information) for weeks or months until they decide to click a button on a computer screen to fix their mistake is acceptable even though while our file is suspended, we are financially cut off. We receive compensation for the damage the military inflicted on our bodies and yet, they could care less because it isn't their checks that get cut off. We live with constant pain, emotional and or psychological issues and then we get thanked by being forced to wait months to get help, cut off financially and are unable to work fulfilling careers due to our injuries but the va does not care. In their mind, they say the words "thank you for your service" while in reality, they crap in our cereal with the run around while they stick their thumbs where the sun doesn't shine and collect a paycheck. Maybe they should wait months upon months to get their pay checks, then maybe, just maybe they may start to care to help veterans instead of just repeating a catch phrase people use to do nothing more than to make them feel better about themselves. So, with that I say, thank you va for screwing us over, thank you for screwing up my file, and thank you for taking away the possibility of me being able to hire a lawyer (by suspending my finances) so that I don't lose my daughter to her abusive mother that is trying to take my daughter out of country. If I didn't already regret serving my country, thank you for real-enforcing my beliefs that it was all for nothing. Well, except for years of my children's lived I've missed out on and the constant pain. I appreciate the big middle finger thrown my way from y'all.
