I'm the wife of an American Soldier;

I'm the hope that lives within him after storm clouded days.

The freedom from war that gives wings to his heart,

May they reach across the miles and bind our hearts together

against all that we must face in this world.

Go the day before and ask the gaurd how busy they are this time of year.

I would think Summers are busier times for USEM.

If you will arrive earlier than others who have the same appointment sched then you would have the advantage of being the first on queue. That means you will have the chance to finish earlier than them..

If you could visit the Embassy the day before and asked the guards for a possible time to be there, then that would be better. I stayed at Miramar Hotel which was just right across the waiting area for applicants, so I did the inquiry the night before. Both guards suggested I'd show up at 5:45 to 6 since my sched was at 7am. However, I went there as early as a little past 5, but was called at almost 7. When your time is called, be quick in going to the line. It doesn't matter what time you got there, but what matters is how fast you are to be there in the line.

Tip for you: be sure to fill your tummy before running off to the embassy... and tons of PRAYERS! (also prepare for your ID. the guard will ask for it.)

:thumbs:Goodluck!

Nothing. All applicants would be led to the waiting area unless if the time schedule is called. When your time is called, that's the time all the applicants would go in line. It is how fast you are to go to the line that will give you the advantage.

Yeah, that's what I thought - makes no sense to me to get there that early.
