That link is for the 2011 holiday schedule so its a safe bet that it will hold true for 2012.

21 holidays...21 holidays. And, unless things have changed for federal employees they also get 30 days paid leave per year. 51 days off per year?

How could you schedule this if there wasn't an opening the in "books" or schedule for that day? An error is possible, but it is also possible that things are a bit different due to being outside the border.

Yes. It will be rescheduled, or you can reschedule. This happens occasionally, even for other reasons, not just holidays.

It is not unusual in Russia and Ukraine for government offices and schools to be closed for "flu" outbreaks and the consulate can choose to follow this or not, just as an example.

MLK day is USA.

Yes, it is. But most embassies follow US holidays. Montreal had a sign posted. Not only do they follow US holidays, they close on Canadian ones too. :wacko:
