My wife just came from the US Embassy in Manila. Her visa interview was for 0830. It seems the filipina screener conducted most of the interview. When she got to the consulate officer it took about 30 seconds and she was done! They only checked our family pictures. She had taken so many other documents with her just in case. Better to be over prepared than lacking when you need it most.

Congrats to the both of you!! :dance:
