Located in the newer Embassy Row off upper Connecticut Avenue in the Van Ness neighborhood in Northwest Washington, D.C., it sits on a beautiful hilltop overlooking the University of the District of Columbia and surrounded by other diplomatic outposts for nations around the world. Impressive! I was there with scores of other folks to express our First Amendment Rights guanteed by the first ten amendments of the U.S. Constitution - Freedom of Speech and Assembly. Most of us were Chinese or Americans of Chinese decent. Others, like me came in support of loved ones who felt compelled to make their thoughts about the role of the CCP in the early spread of Covid -19, their new laws of suppression of the people of Hong Kong, and the re-education camps used to restrict the movement of the Uigher people of western China. We were polite and respectful, carried American flags and chanted peacefully for truth and change. During our three hours there our constant companions were a black clad troop of Secret Service agents and a friendly contingent of D.C. Metropolitan Police, who made sure we behaved and that no one bothered us. Their professionalism and diligence were greatly appreciated. Yelp is not a site for political discourse beyond the generalities stated here. Suffice it to say that it is possible to deeply love your homeland, but wish it to treat its citizens and those with whom they share this planet, with more respect and care. The arc of history bends toward freedom.

We arrived early to avoid a long line. There was a "mascot" panda circulating to help make the wait more enjoyable. There was beautiful art throughout the embassy. The lighting, the architecture and space was awesome. The circular stairs were beautiful. Whoever designed this building did a great job. I live for photo opps. There were so many. The multi-colored parasols were pretty. There were varied items throughout the facility - red lanterns, vases and awesome art. Air China had fun swag and useful information. There were musicians throughout the building. They played unique instruments, including a Pipa. There was a lot of things to see outside the building. Musicians played inside and outside the embassy. There were food samples outside. There was entertainment in front of the embassy. When we exited, a "dragon" was performing. The group was entertaining and agile! Just when we thought we had found all the fun photo opps, there was a photo booth with Chinese backdrops. UDC had free parking, right across the street. There is also free weekend parking near the embassy. There are rules posted with prohibited items that include: food, water and backpacks.

My passport expired right when Covid hit, so after I scheduled my appointment, I received no communication/updates as to how the embassy would handle rescheduling appointments for months. It was impossible to reach them by phone, email, and I even showed up in person on my initial appointment date in case it was still scheduled, and the gentleman there checking the mail just said they were closed to try back the next day. It's baffling and unacceptable how difficult it is to get in touch. That withstanding, I was able to reschedule my appointment 6 months later, and on my appointment date, everything went smoothly, quickly, and efficiently. Tips for anyone who has an appointment for a passport renewal: 1. Print the Passport Application form to be completed online 2. Print the Payment confirmation Slip 3. Print Acknowledgment Slip 4. Print a copy of the data page of Nigerian Passport 5. Bring the expired Nigerian Passport 6. Bring two current passport-size photographs preferably with white background 7. Bring a prepaid express USPS envelope or $30 in cash to have the passport mailed back to you 8. The embassy actually opens at 10am. The earlier you get there, the less you'll have to wait your turn.

As it was rare for me to encounter any sorts of events that were Singapore-related I instantly signed up for it. It was held at the Embassy of the Republic of Singapore. The embassy was a significant piece of real estate right by Van Ness road which I paid no attention to despite having travelled through the area many times. The embassy's architecture, resonated a Singapore sensibility contemporary design mixed with the tropical minimalistic style. The interior of the embassy resembled a 5-star hotel, where luxury was met with function. The service was outstanding with an array of good wines, top shelf spirits and two thumbs up for the two types of sparkling water (Perrier and San Pellegrino). We met up with Yan Yan Kong a Chinese national who performed in the Singapore Chinese Orchestra. The Erhu soloist performed a few Singapore tunes that invoked the memories of the Island-Country. Also there was the writer of A Tiger in the Kitchen, Cheryl Tan who grew up here in the US. She gave us an insight of what inspired her to return to Singapore and her quest for inheriting recipes or cooking methods and culinary memories that had been a tradition in her family. She presented us with slideshows of the food she learned to cook that made us all salivate. After the presentation, we were invited to feast on a generous buffet of Singapore cuisine - mee siam, mee goreng, curry chicken, beef rendang, hainanese chicken rice and fried rice cakes. The Singapore-style desserts were also very tasty! All of a sudden I felt so grown-up! It was a wonderful evening at the Embassy with great hospitality that Singapore was known for! Bravo!

    Super friendly staff and quick service. Made applying for a tourist visa feel like a visit to a spa!read more

It's because of these corrupt individuals that dealing with our homeland becomes difficult. They prefer to argue rather than solve problems, lacking professionalism and courtesy. Such behavior demands that they be removed from their positions and barred from future government employment.In contrast to other countries' embassies, which aim to assist and resolve their citizens' issues. Our embassy, however, seems to create more problems for us. These diplomats are truly horrible and a disgrace to our nation. What a shame these individuals bring upon us.

    I'm terribly disappointed in the consular services of the Pakistani DC embassy. I've been to…read morePakistan once before with no issues (I'm not Pakistani). Had a wonderful time there with my friends. I want to return to see them again, and the visa process is absolutely horrible. I planned to fly on Oct 8, 2022 and stay for about 3 weeks. In June, I went online for the visa application. The NADRA site was different than it was last time I traveled there. Now, they offer a "tourist visa in your inbox." So I applied for that online, reading everything very, very carefully to ensure I did it correctly. Almost the very next day, I had a travel authorization waiting in my email inbox. But: I had to use it within a certain timeframe - before August 31! The NADRA site did NOT explain this during the application process; it only said tourist visas take "7-10 working days" to process. So I had to wait until Sept to re-apply. I went into NADRA and applied for a regular tourist visa. It would not let me "submit," because the June application was still in the system, even though it expired. I emailed them and after about a week or 10 days, they finally cleared that one out, so I was able to re-apply for a regular tourist visa (like I did in 2019 - which, by the way, was a very easy process). The same day my submission went into the system, they emailed me asking for my sponsor's CNIC card and my driver's license. Again, these docs were not listed on the original application site as requirement! I obtained the "additional documents" and submitted them on Sept 13. I thought that I had plenty of time before the Oct 8 flight. Well, my application has been "in process" since Sept 13. I have emailed and left voice messages over and over again, because now, they only have 5 "working days" remaining to issue me the visa before my flight leaves. They have had my application "in process" for 14 working days - outside their "7-10 working days" window. No responses, no status, nothing. Even my Pakistani friends are trying to find out the issue on my behalf. Nothing. I paid for my flights and reserved my hotel rooms. I took time off of work. I coordinated for a dog/house sitter. I made a LOT of plans and reservations for October in Pakistan. For me to have to cancel everything, lose money from cancellation fees, and re-schedule if and when I ever get this visa is shameful. Just shameful. National security is important, yes. But so is customer service. This embassy evidently has none of the latter. I wish every one of those employees would go through this personally to see how disruptive it really is to people's lives. I leave it in God's hands. He knows best.
