Your US citizen fiance' can get it on the same day. It depends on the number of people applying for the Legal Capacity to Marry. Half an hour to one hour at least.

but please note, I beleive that there IS a WAITING PERIOD before you can actually use the aquired certificate.

No waiting period on the LCTM from the embassy, just the normal 10-day waiting period after you get your marriage license before you can get married.

Also the embassy only gives the certificate out in the mornings (from 8am to 10am if I remember correctly)

There's no waiting period... my husband got his Certificate to Contract Marriage in less than 30 minutes. Applying for a Marriage License at the Local civil registrar (where the Philippine fiance resides) will require 10-days waiting period (they may have you attend counseling and the family planning seminar, etc...).

Perge asked in the K3 forum also. Might as well link the two posts:
