Anyone done the retirement visa through the Houston consulate recently?

Pre-move research mode. I'm Houston-based, planning the M-pensionado route. I've heard the Houston consulate is fast but I want first-hand from someone who's been through it in the last year. Timeline, document gotchas, anything you'd do differently?

Houston has been consistent. Recent reports say 4-6 weeks. Make sure your pension proof is on official letterhead.

Houston, 3 years ago, 5 weeks from submission to visa. Bring the apostilled marriage cert even if you think you don't need it.
