Thanks, Dave. I'm stunned.

After the interview it takes the Manila embassy 33 days (on average) to process the visa, correct?

I don't know about todays timeline, but last summer it didn't take nearly that long after the interview. As I said, after the interview they needed one more document. Two weeks after we provided the additional NBI clearance, the visa was delivered by courier. It was funny for us though. My wife's 14 year old daughter was coming also on a K2 visa. We didn't realize it at the time but the US Embassy Manila gave her a K1 visa the same as my wife. At POE Detroit my wife was shocked when they asked who the 14 year old was going to marry. The Immigration folks were jokingly giving my wife a hard time and then gave her a document changing the K1 to K2 and in big letters said "error on the part of US Embassy Manila".

Wow congrads!!!!! That is amazing. We just sent ours in on the Feb. 14th and just hoping for quick results.

I am curious though, what all did you include when you filed? Did you just include what is listed in the step-by-step guide or did you include any other details? Any additional information might be helpful to other filers.

Congrads again!!

Chris
