You only need the visa for travel purposes. Therefore, unless you really need it, you must always carefully consider whether you must absolutely travel since you can be stuck overseas due to administrative processing or simple denial. Its always risky dealing with the irrational consulate overseas and also there is no appeal and very little can be done.
