How long till the interview process is finished

My wife has her interview appointment at 6:15 am.. How late can she expect to be in the embassy? I ask this because I am buying a plane ticket to return to the USA later that day.

No one can rely tell you how long or short the interview will be. every ones is different . If u must leave that same day then why not try and book the latest flight posable. Or make arguments to leave the next day.

It'll depend if she gets her Visa the same day. I am waiting a couple of days to get the Passport with the Visa, and the CFO sticker.

I didn't even know you get the visa the same day most seem to wait 2 weeks for delivery, plus she will have to get CFO sticker that's a lot to do in one day in Manila. Everyone always recommends you wait until you have visa in hand to book tickets.

Assuming that your gal passes her interview today, it will take at least 5 up to 10 business days for her to receive her passport with her visa in it. That is, her passport will be surrendered at the interview, her visa will be installed in it, and it will be delivered by 2to, the delivery courier to her mailing address. You can fly back to your home country at any time... Just do not expect that she can accompany you. This is also assuming that you gal has passed her medical, has the CFO sticker, etc... in her valid passport.

^^^ She will not receive her visa the same day. You will not receive your visa in two days.

It can take from three days to three weeks to get the visa.

^^^ I think they've been misinformed.

I gather you are only staying for the interview and then have to fly home with your wife following once she gets her visa. The interview can take half a day or all day, that is a ####### shoot for guessing that one. My wife had her interview appointment for 6:30 AM we were out the door by 10:30 AM.

It took us a half a day, I think we were done around noon.

Thanks for all your responses.. My plan is to come back later when she has the visa in hand and spend quality time with her in the states before I have to go back to work.. I can only take 2 consecutive weeks off..

Great idea, I waited it out in the PI during the bad Typhoon's last August and had to leave without her. She traveled alone just fine, she didn't want to and thought she could'nt originally. When she arrived I had only the one night off and had to work night shift. I wish I would have had a week off when she arrived in the states...
