I can't seem to find anything that would indicate that the RIC enrollment center is anything but normally operating. Does anyone here have any info? Should I just plan on making the trek up to the enrollment center at IAD?
Hello [MENTION=718716]szehui[/MENTION],
I merged your question into the thread discussing GE interview appointments availability.
Take a look at [MENTION=285014]JAGorham[/MENTION]'s post from last month, it probably answers your question.

IAD has some pretty quick availability right now, about a week out.
I agree with [MENTION=22732]1KChinito[/MENTION]'s recommendations to check the availability at IAD or to drop by for a walk-in interview at Washington, DC, Enrollment Center at the Ronald Reagan Building, which is within a similar driving distance from RIC and where the reported walk-in interview success rate - including [MENTION=285014]JAGorham[/MENTION]'s - is 100% (check the wiki in
this thread).
