Arrived at 5:00am and was the first one in the K-1 line. The greeters reviewed the forms for completeness at 6:30am while entering the embassy grounds. The greeter gave Zyra a number and she waited in the waiting area for the number to show up on the display.
At window 48 they took Zyra's passport and conducted the interview with the Filipino CO. They actually forgot some necessary questions and had to call her back. Just asked the basic questions about how we met and what I do for a living. In total, this only took about 5 minutes.
After waiting only about a minute, she was called for the biometrics, which took only a couple minutes. Then she waited another 5 minutes for the American CO interview, which lasted only 5-8 minutes. Questions included both of our birthdays, full names, and what I do for a living. The guy was really serious and did not give any indication of whether she approved when he told her to take a seat and wait to be called to the next window.
She then took a seat for about 2 minutes to be called up for the final window to verify shipment method of the visa. The woman told her to wait for about a week to pick up the visa. Apparently she was approved, and she was already out the door by 8:30!
