Here we go:
5:45AM - arrive at Manila embassy for our 7:30 app't. Already hundreds of folks there. We were directed to the correct line and started the wait. Side note: Met a fellow VJ'er while there. We had a great chat and caught up.
7:00AM - line starts moving, and eventually we end up at a tent where we submit our docs and passports. Everything was in order and we proceeded inside. Another side note: My fiance forgot to bring her 2 passport photos for the interview, so she had to get a couple taken inside the embassy walls. Also, she had a USB stick with her. I was elected to have it stored at the gatehouse.
7:30AM - we reunited inside the embassy with our number, 6112. She was called around 8:00AM for fingerprinting, then about an hour later, we went in front of the Filipino consulate staff. She had to sign and correct a few documents, but overall, it went quite smoothly. He said we will be called to the US consulate in a little while. I went out to have a smoke, because I was sure it was going to be a long time between. When I opened the door to go back in, I heard her called to the US consulate, so I hoofed it to window 64 just in time to see her with her hand up taking the oath. She laughed and said, "This must be your fiance". I took the oath, and answered a few questions, as did my fiance, lo and behold: approved!!
10:30AM - Called to window 69 to arrange delivery.
Overall a very painless process!!
