Confirming a migration appointment
Confirming a cita is about precision: you want to leave with the fecha, hora, place, and what to llevar all clearly understood. A good habit is to repeat the details back to the official so any mistake surfaces right away. If the time does not work, ask whether you can reprogramar rather than assuming. Note that turno can mean either a booked slot or your turn in the queue, and atención refers to the office's service hours. Ask the official to confirm each detail instead of guessing, since formats and times can vary.
