Hank, we will have CFO done about 4 weeks prior to the interview 

Just reading through people's experiences.  I've seen most report waiting approximately 2 weeks for the visa after approval.  But a few this year have reported an issued status next day and pic up at 2go at MOA day or two later.

Anyone know the trends?  Anyone know the reasons behind short or long waits when no additional info is asked for?

It would be great if my fiance and I could fly back together within a week after the interview.  That's the time I've taken off at work to go there and support her in the interview.

When I've gone to the CFO website, they are requiring you scan the Visa before scheduling a seminar appointment, however, I've read in the interview reporting that as recently as last April 2019, someone was able to go to the seminar prior to receiving the visa.

How did they do that?  Anyone know.  I know in the past they would do it and then she had to show up with the visa to get the CFO certificate.

Anyone want to share recent experiences?

We have an interview appointment at US embassy in Manila, and I am ready to send my fiance to Manila for her medical exam.  However, every photo shop in her home town can't seem to understand or comprehend the US visa photo requirements.  After 20 plus photos, none of them pass the requirements.  

Is there a photo place near St. Luke's Medical extension that can produce US visa compliant photos? 

Anyone else have this issue and how did you solve it.

Help please.
