Embassy POC had a consultation meeting with PM/DTCC before her arrival at Post and has reviewed the Blue Lantern program handbook. ¶2. (SBU) After receiving a Blue Lantern action request, Embassy Vienna works immediately to schedule an appointment with the subject firm. In our experience, meetings usually take place within one or two weeks, depending on the location of the firm in Austria. Embassy POC also works closely with DHS/ICE officers at Post to vet the subject firm. Post recognizes the time sensitivities of the licensing process and reports its findings to PM/DTCC as soon as possible. Kilner
