It is 4:00 am in Manila. We all tried to go to bed early but I think we were all awake most of the night. Rose is in the shower. The appointment is for 7:45. We are leaving at 5:15 just to make sure we get there on time. The Embassy is only 10 miles from us but this is Manila. 

 

I want to thank all all of you for the support. It really helped when things looked bleak. 

 

We are going to give the Filipino pre processing guy all of my arrest records that I have. They will see it in AP anyway. I figure that may speed things a little and I would feel better by doing that too. 

 

I will I’ll check back on a few hours to let everyone know how it went.

Yes, but that is primarily the NIV unit.  IV interviews are but a fraction of that number
