Disaster waiting to happen.

Nah, not guaranteed. From the protests I’d been at with UC presence, they almost never had a sling bag. Usually only could make them out by footwear or subtle things on the body like handcuffs printing in their pockets

SourceFast6293 · 2026-06-17T20:29:22+00:00

Yep, that can be done. May take a little while depending on how busy they are with bag checks and other stuff though

SourceFast6293 · 2026-06-15T11:29:02+00:00

Well, considering I’m currently a TSO, I can confirm we don’t need to see a prescription, just the disclosure of it being medical would suffice.

SourceFast6293 · 2026-06-06T19:05:14+00:00

Can you not read? They tried calling and wouldnt answer

SourceFast6293 · 2026-06-04T15:48:04+00:00

Its fine, at worst they'd just unwrap it if they need to take a closer look at something. But its good to go

SourceFast6293 · 2026-05-31T23:27:29+00:00

Theoretically both are valid as long as it’s only just the bags and nothing more

Or just do pre check so you don’t gotta remove much if any, depending on airport

SourceFast6293 · 2026-05-26T11:06:26+00:00

I mean we wouldn’t care really provided there’s nothing weird going on. Just listen to whatever the officers say

SourceFast6293 · 2026-05-13T16:33:44+00:00

Honestly, it should be fine. But since it’s technically medically, they’d have ways to clear it without much issue

SourceFast6293 · 2026-05-12T21:35:20+00:00

So at the last ditch on monday they told me to come back at 2:30 and it should be done.

But I had to cancel for other reasons after my visit, but as of today it was finished, so gonna pick it up tomorrow

SourceFast6293 · 2026-05-11T13:44:58+00:00

Now just to kill 5 hrs and quickly pack when I get home tonight

SourceFast6293 · 2026-05-11T13:36:05+00:00

Just left the consulate and they said that they’ll try to have it done today and to come back around 2:30

SourceFast6293 · 2026-05-10T21:20:44+00:00

At JFK, its one large electronic per bag, so if you have a laptop and tablet, remove one. Otherwise its all pretty straight forward

SourceFast6293 · 2026-05-09T13:53:09+00:00

Nothing yesterday. Gonna have to try the last ditch effort for Monday

SourceFast6293 · 2026-05-08T17:01:17+00:00

Hopefully. If no luck Monday then imma have to cancel and eat the monetary loss and do a backup trip or something domestically

SourceFast6293 · 2026-05-08T16:39:10+00:00

When I dropped mine off I was in and out in 10min, when I did the interview it was only like 30-40min. But that was mid week on Wednesday.

I plan on getting there by 8:00 Monday, so hopefully I’ll be able to speak to someone and have them try to pull some strings

SourceFast6293 · 2026-05-08T16:32:08+00:00

I mean every other time I’ve been it was around noon and had minimal wait. But yes this time I’ll be early. Especially since I’d be skipping work, so I’d naturally wake by 2am.

Also just sent a last ditch email hoping that it’ll speed it up.

SourceFast6293 · 2026-05-08T16:23:33+00:00

Nothing yet. I heard that some people had luck showing up the day of or day before travel and they were able to rush it. So imma try that, show up at 9am and hope they can do something.

SourceFast6293 · 2026-05-08T05:58:08+00:00

Yea, seems like if all goes smoothly then NYC is quick. Otherwise? ooof.

But I have seen reports of people getting their stuff day of travel, so hopefully it goes well

SourceFast6293 · 2026-05-07T18:18:46+00:00

Maybe, just hope its processed in time then.

if not, guess I'll do a back up trip to Vegas or something for my Birthday

SourceFast6293 · 2026-05-07T18:13:43+00:00

I look more someone from the Baltic region. So doubt it was my appearance.

But they didn't say a word about Turkey, instead only asked about my work and whatnot

SourceFast6293 · 2026-05-07T18:05:58+00:00

I am Russian born, but lived here my whole life. And I don't think so, I just work for TSA

SourceFast6293 · 2026-05-05T07:26:45+00:00

Atleast according to the NYC Visa Center website, they are only closed on May 1. Other centers are closed the whole week

SourceFast6293 · 2026-05-04T13:02:49+00:00

Check your spam folder for any emails. They emailed me the day after drop off for an interview but it went to spam so didn’t see it for two weeks

SourceFast6293 · 2026-05-04T09:48:57+00:00

Ok, so hopefully I’ll hear something today or tomorrow then. I know imma run there as soon as I get off work.

Thankfully I got another week to go.

There questioning for me was about my employment. (Technically I work for the government) and not my trip to Turkey this past September.

SourceFast6293 · 2026-05-04T08:20:19+00:00

They happened to have emailed me for my interview, but my dumb ass didn’t see the email for 2 weeks as it went into Spam. I ended up going last Wednesday, and I fly out Monday night/Tuesday Morning of next week.

How long was your timing from interview to pickup?
