My fiance's Visa appointment time at Manila, Philippines Embassy was scheduled for 7:30 today. It is around noon Manila time now and I still haven't received word from her, which I think is safe to assume she's still inside, as I heard that cell phones are confiscated at the entrance.
My question is--how long can these embassy visits possibly take? I mean--it said her appointment was 7:30 on the letter yet she's obviously still there. Is this normal? If so--what could cause her to still be inside, waiting?
Pretty much normal time at the interview.
USEM doesn't confiscate the cell phones any more and store them for you.
They make you go put them somewhere on your own now.
So, then she still can't take the phone inside with her, correct? I've texted her phone multiple times now with no response.
