Hi all! I live in Arkansas, and I submitted an application for tourist visa to Greece Consulate in Houston (I've granted a permission to submit my application by mail due to the distance from my place to Houston). I mailed it next day air April 8 and it got to the consulate on Monday April 10. I haven't heard anything from them, and I was wondering how long does it usually take to get it done and mailed back to me? From my past experience, United Kingdom takes 2 days and Canada takes about a week. I'm afraid that I will not get it on time since I'll be leaving May 15. Can anybody give me clue on this? Thanks!

I’m surprised you need one if you are american??
What nationality are you,? then perhaps somebody could give you better advise
EDIT AMERicans definately do not need a tourist visa for Greece

It matters not that you live in Arkansas; what’s your nationality? American citizens just need a passport, nothing more. (Maybe you submitted the wrong application and that’s why it’s taking so long.) Here’s the official word:
GREECE – *Passport required. Visa not required for tourist/business stay of up to 90 days. (**The 90-day period begins when entering Schengen countries). Travelers will need a visa for longer stays. Submit a passport with minimum validity of 3 months, bank and credit card statements for the last 3 months, W-2 forms for the last 2 years, official itinerary and proof of hotel reservation, proof of health insurance, and reference letter from employer. For additional information, contact the consular section of the Embassy of Greece, 2211 Massachusetts Ave. NW, Washington D.C. 20008 (202-939-1333) or nearest Greek Consulate: CA (310/826-5555 OR 415/775-2102/4) GA (404/261-3313), IL (312/335-3915 or 17), LA (504/523-1167), MA (617/523-0100), NY (212/988-5500) or (713/840-7522).
