Vintage ring with a light blue stone

I got this little silver ring a while back from a thrift store and thought it had a glass bead in it since it was a bit opaque.

Today I decided to give it a proper clean and realized it might have a real stone. Diamond tester suggested it’s not glass but I’m having a hard time figuring out what it is. The diamond tester bar goes up 2-3 bars while on sensitivity 3-4.

Also noticed a hallmark before the more obvious “925” stamp. Does anyone know what the hallmark is? I can vaguely make out a “c” but not very confident. (Maybe that could give a clue in terms of what the stone is?)

(Posted in Hallmark as well but haven’t got any leads yet.)

Austin consulate visa appointment?

I’m trying to help my dad with the temporary residency so he could retire in Mexico. We live in Austin where there is a consulate but it seems they are constantly out of visa appointment availability (been trying via website and WhatsApp).

Does anyone have experience securing a visa appointment in Austin? If so, how did you do it? How long did it take? How far out was the appointment from when it was scheduled?

Thanks in advance!
