[david_dawei]

Not sure who has any trips or interviews scheduled for early May.. Here's some info off the various consulate websites:

 

 

ALL CONSULATES - Closed for Holiday Observance:

May 1, 2, 3, (Mon, Tue, Wed) International Labor Day

 

 

BEIJING'S NIV UNIT WILL BE CLOSED FROM MAY 1-5

The NIV Unit's normal working hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The NIV unit is closed on Saturdays and Sundays. From May 1 through May 5, the NIV unit of the U.S. Embassy in Beijing will be closed to the public in observance of a local holiday. During that period, we will not be able to provide any visa-related services, including answering visa questions from U.S. citizens. We will re-open to the public on Monday, May 8.

 

GUANGZHOU:

No petitioner hour on May 5

Due to China's celebration of the International Labor Day holidays, the Immigrant Visa Petitioner Information hour will not be held on May 5, 2006.

Thanks David. Had completely forgotten that the consulate is also observing the May labor holiday too, which means there won't be much happening in the way of new movement....

Five days? bleh.

 

Amazing how many holidays that are International that seem to skip the US, unless you work for the government.

 

My company gives us 7 days a year as holidays...

 

Thanksgiving Thus/Fri

Christmas Day +1 day

New Year's Day

Memorial Day

Labor Day

 

I swear my wife gets 30 if she gets one.

Indeed that US worker has to work more hours and gets fewer days off than just about anywhere else in the world....
