Consular legalization will experience delays, as the Embassy of Mexico will be closed on May 5, 2017 in celebration of Cinco de Mayo.
What is Cinco de Mayo?
Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for the fifth of May) is an annual celebration that commemorates the Mexican Army’s victory at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. Although it is considered a relatively minor holiday in Mexico, in other countries, Cinco de Mayo has become a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage.
