1. The embasssies and consulates are quite efficient and will give you the requested letter/certificate in 2 to 5 days if you have given all the requested dicumentation. It is another matter altogether in India as it may take from 7 to 14 days. This is due to the volume of applications received as well as beaurocratic ineptness.
2. Embassy/Consulate is fine you get the paper on said time they are good at that. But in India truly speaking depends on the clerk working on it, it is not a general but I have noticed it, anlso on his mood and ofcourse based on your contacts and buying power (even though it is legitimate you need to buy it)
3. they have pre - scheduled time for every work , i have some papers to be attested by the embassy in kuwait ,.And received back in just 3 hours which was already informed to me. but in India , u have to hang with those guys ,. i got my passport after 1year and 2 months :-( - in fact after a long struggle , complaint to the police commissioner for delay in inquiry , again complaint to police commissioner since they dint sent the file back to the passport office , another complaint to the regional passport commissioner ( since my was 1 year old at the time they received it they put it on hold for further investigation ) , atlas after a big struggle i was issued ;-(
