I filed mine on the 27th Dec so still early days for me, But I was reading the TSC November filers thread and a lot of them are starting to get thier NOA2's so looks like average wait time of 4 months. We are only getting a snapshot of a much larger picture but hopefully its a good sign

Exactly. Although it's depressing to see people who filed much later than us get approved, I've resigned myself to this stage taking 5 months - if we get the NOA2 before that then great!

[Emily and Nathan 39]

I think I better do that too..

Sigh

Highlight of my interview

Consul: What do you plan to do when you get to the US?

Me: Get a marriage license and get married.

Consul: What I mean is from the airport

Me: Go to their house and eat chili that his dad is making for me

(Consul's eyes lights up and he smiles)

Me: Is the chili in the US kinda the same with the chili con carne that Wendy's sells here in the Philippines? I haven't had just the chili before (lol.. didn't know that chili con carne is just called chili in the US.. silly me)

Consul: Yes, basically it's the same. There are just variations.

(Talks to people behind him and the lady consul beside him then laughs)

Consul: I don't mean to brag, but I got an award here in the embassy for making really good chili

Other questions asked:

How did you meet? (Facebook)

How/Why did you add each other on Facebook? (I was friends with his sister)

How did you become friends with his sister? (His sister is my cousin's wife)

How did you start our relationship? (Messaged him first because I asked him to take pictures of his sister's 3rd son... then we chatted regularly)

(Then the chili conversation)

Consul: You know what my parents advised me when I got married, live far away from family after marriage (thousand miles away)

Me: We plan to move to Texas after a few years.

Consul: Why Texas?

Me: Because the cost of living is much cheaper than New York.

Consul: That is a very good answer.

It was a really good interview. They didn't ask me for the other documents/pictures... and I had a lot of them in my bag (I drained 1 black and 1 colored cartridge when I printed more facebook screenshots, emails, viber, skype stuff). All I submitted were the following: DS160, Visa Receipt (I paid online using my ATM so I just printed the confirmation page), NSO Birth Certificate, NSO Certificate of No Marriage, NBI Clearance, 1040, W2 & passport.

They didnt ask for the I 134? The consul seems really nice! Congratulations! Hopefully I'll be able to get an earlier schedule for the interview. I can't wait.

Oh yeah that too, forgot to write it.

How did you organize the docs for the interview? I was thinking of punching holes on the top part and putting a fastener on it.

[icebryker 21]

Used black clips.

[ean 10]

Used black clips.

And can you do the medical in one day? Thanks

[Sambl 11]
