Has anybody paid already the visa and AOS fee? I already paid last Saturday but it still saying In Process until now. How long will I still have to wait to reflect that it is paid?

I heard that is when you are in line to  be scheduled. 

I read on other forums that it needs to be documentarily qualified first before they put you in line for a schedule.

You can check current processing times for that here - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/nvc-timeframes.html

 

It's usually super quick, then it's just the wait for an interview, and that varies hugely depending on the consulate.

I don’t know if Manila is one of the consulates that’s quick (3 months ish) or super slow (2 years +), or somewhere in between for an interview.

 

But yes, now you’re just waiting for the IL, assuming no RFE and you get DQ’ed soon. 
 

Good luck.
