London seem normally to be OK

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

This site has an "Office Reviews and Info" area which gives individual consulate reviews.  You might get some info there.

Which embassies have a positive experience and negative? Which have been fast and slow?

Invalid choices.

 

Comparison should be "slow" and "extremely slow"

Embassy is not the real issue

some countries are high fraud

some are known to furnish fake documents (for sale)

some have poor record keeping making the AP for extra security checks long

some petitoners do not read thru the steps for the process and don't furnish all the needed supporting douments to  bene for the interview causing 221g

problems also with closed embassies

problems with natural disasters and internal conflicts make it hard for interviews

 

i will admit some CO's seem extremely rude but this a small # of them

the CO's have certain guidelines they have to follow for the savety of both the USC and bene and the overall protection of the USA

I've heard horror stories about the Ecuador Consulate in Guayaquil, the petitioner needing to be there, old school mentality and 2 day interview process....wish us luck! 😅

Auckland has always had a reputation of being efficient, and NZ is a very low fraud country.

 

Not sure if the efficiency still stands, following the lockdown and aftermath.
