Info just received - Dec. Holidays for the consulate
I got somebody to go to the consulate and confirm the Dec. Holidays
Here is the info.
Friday, Dec. 14 - Consulate Closed
Monday, Dec 17 - Id
Tuesday, Dec. 25 - Christmas
Going by the past pattern, seems like the employment based interviews will be held on Dec. 18, 19, 20, 21, 24, 26, 27, 28 and 31.
So if the interview falls on the 18th, we need to make sure that atleast one of the hospitals will do the medicals on the Monday 17th Dec. even though it is Id and a consulate holiday. If not then people who have the interview on 18, would have to get their medicals done on 14th. That means reach Mumbai by atleast 13th. Due to non availability of economic airfares that might be an issue.
I will try to find out about the hospitals being opened on the 17th. Can somebody else also try to find out. Thanks
