So I'm super confused about the process, I have an appointment scheduled for December 11, 2017. Do I have to line up outside the embassy like the NIV/IV people or do I just tell the guard I have an appointment for CRBA, and if so do I just print the appointment letter the embassy sent me? Can anyone shed some light on this for me please thank you!
