Busy and quiet times
- Quietest: mid-morning and mid-afternoon, Tuesday to Thursday — and scheduler slots released for those windows go last.
- Busiest: Mondays, lunchtime, Saturdays, and January through summer as travel season peaks.
- Rule of thumb: passport windows close intake before posted closing when the day's capacity fills — earlier in your visit beats later.
