Emailing all and sundry from the comfort of your home isn't going to cut it, you need to contact the consular officer responsible for your visa, preferably in person. Only s/he can get things moving.

I would tend to agree with some of the previous posters. Before the outsourcing the visa process was a mess, especially with MEA officials doing it themselves. Back in 2002 or 03 I remember visiting the CGI Munich outside of office hours and seeing employees (two office clerks that did the counter duty in the morning and the office peon who worked the reception) in front of mountains of passports and forms trying to get the visa stickers done manually in hectic pace. Nowadays its about 7 or 8 local C&K admin staff preparing everything and its all automated.
