A year ago, when I BMCed about how I have lived in Kuwait for FOURTEEN YEARS and have never been invited to a national day (4th of July) event at the US Embassy, a happy-go-lucky US embassy representative approached me and told me that I ab-so-lutely would be invited to one the following year (2011)....
Just wanted to remind you (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) that you made a promise. I base credibility on follow-through. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Bada BING.
I wrote a much longer post (yawn) about the embassy and how - compared to other embassies, the US Embassy tends to be the Official Poster Child for unfriendliness (I included quotes from various sources)... winning hearts and minds NOT... yada... but ya know, a sistah gets tired of singin the same old song. So, here is the short, sweet, and simple version.

I don't know who George is or what part you are referring to.
They won't even verify US marriage licenses...certified no less..guess I'm not getting my CivID. Supposedly the only embassy in Kuwait that won't do it.
THE George (Kervok) of the Consular Services Section - he's the only one to be trusted in the whole damned building
the only one, i say
Really, Come Now! Your better than that.
It's perplexing that a person with a seemingly good business head on her shoulders would subject herselve to the possibility of being tainted and labeled.
The embassy is filled with losers seeking to kiss the ass of even bigger losers. They are not the "in crowd" they project themselves to be and the embassy image isn't exactly known to be "stellar" in the Kuwaiti business community.
My son was born in Kuwait and I was actually impressed with how thorough, responsive, knowledgeable & quick they were with obtaining his birth certificate as well as his passport.
HeidiG - Oh no doubt. They are very good at business. Service with a smile is another subject.
