Time it took: 4:45 AM arrival for queueing. 6:30AM appt Finished at: 9:05AM.
Ticket Position: We were 28th immigrant ticket into consulate.
Hubby with me at all times.
Interview went smoothly. We hit 4 windows:
1) window 39 for appointment letter drop off. (taken by student who collected a bunch)
2) window 59 for Philippine worker interview.
3) window 36 for American worker Interview. (He stated approval)
4) Window 72 for final notice of completion, and informing us of 2GO dropoff location of the Passport with Visa.
Couple of worthy notes:
a) We never received the email or text confirming delivery of the Passport to the 2GO station we selected at the Mall of Asia. We called them 3 days after interview and it was there.
b) We didnt like the appointment date we were given from the embassy. It was on a friday, and hubby was flying in with a 10day vacation stay. We changed the apppointment out until the next tuesday so hubby could fly in on sunday, prep on monday, and be with me on interview on tuesday. Your Interview letter has instructions on how to change your appointment. Even if you dont change your appointment, its good to go there and add your drop-off location and print off the appointment letter with the drop-off location. Doing so, relieves you from filling out the drop-off location while standing in line. Very convenient, and you get a special sticker on your passport.
