I think everyone agrees: Go to CW/MTT on a Saturday if possible. I'm closing comments.

Thanks for the update. I'm not surprised they are stopping Saturday service in October, since they never announced it outside of Facebook.

@Benjamin *****

it's empty as a dream, just finished myself. It felt like my own personal immigration office it was so empty. They really should have advertised it better but they also look to have lower staffing too so don't want it to get too well known I suppose.

I think I heard 5 numbers called the entire time I was there. They didn't even have anyone at the desk right when you walk into the office because there was no need
