Embassy Closed

[Enlighten one :) 5]

Hello,

I know that international embassy's acknowledge both us and their residing country's holidays. Would they schedule an appointment knowing that they would be closed?

I am about to pull the hair out of my head right now.

Thanks for any input.

Very unlikely an Embassy/Consulate would knowingly schedule an interview on a day they are closed.

I have heard that it has happened before.

Maybe call or have Sig O to call to find out??

It happens....a lot unfortunately.

If they are closed they will probably contact him for a later date.

Atleast I was able to verify that there is in fact a Holiday today. He said Today and Tomorrow. The security gaurd told him to come back on Wednesday.

Eid ul-Adha

Main article: Eid ul-Adha

Eid ul-Adha (عيد الأضحى), or the Festival of Sacrifice, falls approximately 70 days after Eid ul-Fitr (end of Ramadan) and is celebrated in honor of the prophet Abraham willingness to sacrifice his son as a proof of his loyalty to God. Celebrations usually include presenting an animal (usually a cow or a sheep) sacrifice, and the meat is shared with family, friends and those in need.

The festival also marks the end of the Pilgrimage or Hajj to Mecca.

As with Eid ul-Fitr, there is an early morning prayer for the Eid, and celebrations lasts few days.

In Turkish this holiday is referred to as Kurban Bayramı, and in Bosnian as Kurban-Bajram or kurbanski Bajram.
