GUZ holiday

IluvmyLi · April 22, 2006

Is the GUZ closed during the 1st week of May? Also does that mean that all progress come to a screaching halt during this time or do name checks continue because they are done by the US gov?

Also does anyone know who updates DOS computers? If the rumor that the GUZ computers are only updated every monday is true, then how is DOS updated?

As I have sadly found out, the hard way, this sched is not complete. There in no listing for the Easter holiday on this, so only use this as a guide line. Be sure to call about any day you think they might be closed for any reason. They seem to make special arrangements at the last minute all the time. Always look or call.

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:

'the man at the window said the Easter holiday. Don't care, I wasted money that is valuable because they did not post any information about being closed THAT friday.
