Can anyone share their recent firsthand experience with time from application submission to tourist visa attainment from the Thai Embassy or Consulates in the USA?   They say give yourself 15 business days.  Is this in fact what is happening?

Be more specific

From the few reports I have seen they are issuing visas within a week of receiving the application by mail. But best to mail it about the 15 days before the day you plan on flying out.

You have no choice where you apply. When you do the online certificate of entry application they will send it to the designated official consulate where you live or do it at the embassy if you are within their area of responsibility.
