Will SLEC be Open on Chinese New Year?

Hi,

I was just wondering if you guys know if SLEC could be open this coming February 19, 2015 (Chinese New Year).

The US embassy accepts interview on this date however I am not sure with SLEC.

Thank you very much for your response!

Follow the flashing arrow below, under the St. Luke's tab is a link to their website. St. Luke's normally posts if they have a special closure.

There is nothing about closures on the SLEC website that I could find. The only holiday in February is U.S. President's Day U.S. Feb 16, Mon and the Embassy will be closed.

Thank you Hank.

I have looked at SLEC website and there is no announcement.

Are they usually open when US Embassy is open though?

That is a fair assumption

Hi Hershe I think they are close coz it is a special non working day..SLEC follows PH Holidays. But you can try calling them tomorrow just to make sure

Are you planning to have ur medical on Feb 19? If yes, why not as early as Feb. 19?

After 2 unsuccessful days of calling SLEC, I finally got a hold of their operator today.

She said there was still no announcement of a Feb 19 closing but they do follow Philippine holidays.

And since Feb 19 is a special non-working day in the Philippines then I guess they will be closed.

So, probably would have my medical earlier.

Thank you for your replies!
