Goodluck on your interview!!!

Thanks...

Im surprised Im not that nervous at all. My gal on the other hand is a bit nervous but she sees that Im not and that has a calming effect on her.

I am presenting the request for visa pickup in person along with a copy of our E-Ticket for the Pal flight monday night. Is that all I need to do?

You cant tell how long it would be because they are calling applicants at random.

You can go an hour early or so (6-6:30am), u cant tell what time u will finish coz they call applicants in random order. Based on my experience, i was called at prescreener at 9am, consul at 9:45am (need to wait for couple of minutes coz the first one before me was not yet done), at 10am im done...so goodluck! You cant bring water or snack, there's a canteen inside the embassy but better to go there after your interview so u wont miss if your number flashed on the queing board or they call you. Goodluck!
