Not a Federal holiday.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

In the UK though, Friday and Monday are holidays...is this applicable to the UK embassy, too? I checked the UCIS website and it said it was a UK holiday, but...I don't know if that applies to the Embassy.

Have no idea. Call the embassies, if they're off today, they usually would already have the recordings on the hotline. :blush:

Per US Embassy London's web site:

"The Embassy will be closed on Friday 10th April and Monday 13th April for the Easter holidays."

Embassies generally close for both major local holidays and American holidays.

US gov office are close here in Dominica Republic, employees takes off American and Local holidays, and today it is a Local holiday.
