It seems odd that both major posts pause all services just for one day, especially during peak visa season.

Who says holidays can't be respected? But dem fit schedule downtime around appointments instead of sudden closures.

Plan ahead by rescheduling any embassy visits to before or after the July 3 holiday to avoid delays in your travel plans.
