Why use snail mail and waste time when you can email
Though our file has arrived at the KL consulate since Jul 31, still waiting for the packet 3 documents to arrive in the mail. They have mailed it out on Aug 3 by snail mail. I did ask whether they can email the documents and forms instead of sending them by snail mail. Was told it cannot be done.
A Korean woman told me the Seoul Consulate sent her all the documents via an E-packet and she was able to schedule an interview within 10 minutes because everything is done electronically on the consulate’s website. That must be the famous efficiency and work ethics, the Korean style. :-)
May be to allow people to schedule appointments online, they will need to hire IT specialist like new york IT services to setup a sophisticated IT management system. All the documents they have are probably available in pdf files and they have our email addresses on file. It is not difficult to setup a system to email all the documents and forms electronically, isn’t it?
Don’t understand why there is so much resistance to adopt more efficient method i.e. email! Why they still use snail mail when they can just email all the documents ? Wouldn’t that make their job much simpler too? No more licking stamps, sealing envelopes and annoying calls from people who were impatiently waiting for the packet to arrive. :-)
