Have you made an appointment for 4th of October, I had to wait nearly a month for an appointment. Also make sure you have all the required information with you, like your lady's full postal address, her fathers full name, her D.O.B. of course and the full postal address of the place you intend to marry. the last one doesn't really matter much, because when you get the local C.O.N.I. and finally the Philippines marriage licence, you can marry wherever you want.
