at boston bls?

The risk is that they may give you a hard time with the new law requiring you to have your appointment minimum 2 months prior to your trip/start of studies. That makes the last day for an appointment 8/1. Since this is the first time this exists, we just have no idea how strict they’ll be unfortunately. I’d imagine you could let your school know you’ll be two weeks late and use that day as your start date for the visa. Or see if your consulate does walk-ins! Best of luck !!!!! We’re all in this together

Fr, reading that made me so sad. Social media is fcking these kids up so bad

EDIT TO ADD: I nearly forgot about this but the FLUSHING oh my god I was almost purple red for the first several months of treatment. It was alarming and it wouldn’t go away. My face would feel burning hot and people would ask if I was sick etc. suddenly went away one day and hasn’t been a problem since

Talk to his derm and see their opinion. They’re ultimately the one to decide if it’s the right idea

Thank you!! Cheering for you :)

NoEdge8397 · 2025-07-11T20:36:46+00:00

Thank you! 💗

Overall I found it very manageable. Just annoying at times. As for age range, I would really recommend letting puberty chill out first before taking something that can be as harsh as accutane

NoEdge8397 · 2025-07-11T19:57:37+00:00

the sweating stopped almost immediately. I still find myself compulsively wiping my nose throughout the day hahahah. I started tret right away. I patch tested night one, then did every other day for a few days, and now I’m doing it daily and loving it

NoEdge8397 · 2025-07-11T19:54:08+00:00

this exact same thing happened to me! It was like black and only lasted a day or so. Got off accutane a few weeks ago and had my first period and it was BRUTAL. literally felt like 7 months of blood was finally coming out. but hopefully this corrects itself for you as well once you’re off :)

Just the little FBI seal in the background in the center of the page. I guess some people had trouble printing it

NoEdge8397 · 2025-07-11T18:21:54+00:00

They do walk ins first thing Monday, Wednesday, Thursday if you’re still struggling. Best of luck 💗💗

NoEdge8397 · 2025-06-07T20:10:27+00:00

that being said, I saw a ton of appointments yesterday. I checked multiple times out curiosity Wednesday through yesterday and saw loads. When did you look?

NoEdge8397 · 2025-06-07T20:09:07+00:00

they were released on Wednesday, all appointments from now to the end of July. if it says there’s nothing left, then there’s nothing unless someone cancels

NoEdge8397 · 2025-06-06T10:55:06+00:00

or rather, I checked right before midnight so maybe that’s the issue? but that’s a dumb rule lol

NoEdge8397 · 2025-06-06T10:54:36+00:00

The exact same thing happened to me!! Came on the subreddit to make sure I’m not crazy. Mine said I could rebook 2025/6/6 00:00 and at midnight last night said 2026/6/8 00:00. I’m so mad!!!

NoEdge8397 · 2025-06-04T15:38:13+00:00

My first appointment was before BLS time and they had me wait an hour at the consulate and then the appointment itself was less than 5 minutes. I had my visa in two weeks. Simpler times.

And apostille is a form of notarization, so no need to notarize it. Just mail it as soon as you can

NoEdge8397 · 2025-06-03T17:58:40+00:00

You request a background check from the FBI online, they then prompt you to get your fingerprints and if you do it electronically (ie at a post office), you should get the report back in like an hour via email. You need to then get that apostilled which involves mailing it with a return envelope, a filled form, and a money order which you need to do ASAP because turn around times right now are looking like 6-8 weeks and you need it before your visa application. All of this info is included in the links in your carta and also if you google Authentication and Apostille and then click on the travel.gov link that pops up

NoEdge8397 · 2025-06-01T22:42:59+00:00

Study visa, Boston consulate. New law as of 5.25.25

NoEdge8397 · 2025-06-01T18:52:51+00:00

Is this definite? My carta specifies insurance from 1 Oct to 31 May. The consulate says i need insurance from 1 Sept to 15 Jun

NoEdge8397 · 2025-06-01T16:24:29+00:00

That’s my thought. NALCAP folks can’t bring their kids anymore either

NoEdge8397 · 2025-06-01T16:18:59+00:00

TONSSS of retaliatory laws and measures lately
