- ARAna RamosMar 13, 20191.0This place was unprofessional and rude! From the very beginning to the end. I entered the place and I admit I mistakenly filled the application with black ink but the gentleman behind the counter was cocky about pointing out my mistake which I did not appreciate. Then, as we are taken into the room to take our picture for passport, the lady behind the desk stated to my husband "that's my pen" (the man at the counter provided for us), took it from him and THREW one at him!! So, when she asked for my ID I threw mine at her. She then said she didn't throw her pen at him and that she could end our appointment right there and then. If it wasn't because I needed my passport I would've walked out. In the end she changed her attitude but I think the damage was done at that point. Moral of the story, if I was not rude to you don't do it to me!! I will never go there again I rather drive to another location no matter the distance.
