Hey Guys I just got back from the US Embassy Manila...

4:00am - We left Laguna to go to the US Embassy..

6:30am - Arrived and sat down inside the US Embassy..

6:55am - Received a ticket stub and waited until our time we sat at the 8:30 section

9:15am - We Got called to the first window for first interview the man was very polite asked my wife to sign the DS-230 part 2 showed our evidence. success!!!

9:45am - We got Called to the Final interview got asked 1 question when did you get married i replied he asked again the same question my wife replied then he said exact

word for word "Sorry Long pause maybe 10 seconds for the hassle and sorry for the long wait but your VISA is APPROVED! " i was like HU? :huh: yes. inside my head

why was he saying sorry?? ...

9:48am - waited for the release and got our pink slip

10:00am - headed home..

*note I saw a bunch of people that day got approved the 6:30, 7:00 and 7:30 group mostly got approved i guess that the Embassy was having a good Monday usually Everyone hates Monday's over all the interview didn't take long for me 5 mins from window 1 and final interview. wait wasn't that bad because the Final interviews were really fast avg time from what i saw 10 to 20 mins me and my wife got really lucky... any ways we should be expecting our visa 10 days or less..
