How to get a US visa with a baby in the Philippines

My wife already has a multiple entry US visa. I want to get one for myself and our baby (11 months old).   My parent company in the US also invited me for a training so we aimed for a B1/B2 visa. I hope my notes below can help. TIP #1 : Smile, look people in the eye when you are talking, make your voice loud and authoritative. BE HONEST! My schedule is 7:15 AM (I noticed Consuls are in very good mood first thing in the morning). Arrived at ~6:45AM, immediately went to the entrance. Still made to line a very short line before the 7AM line. I was given the E card (i think because of the baby). First guard check: make sure you comply (bring only documents) Filed using an envelope filer and labelled with Post-it or something so you can quickly retrieve With baby: diaper, wipes, burp cloth You can buy water and food inside. Made to wait in the waiting area after the 7AM line. This waiting area is not air-conditioned and it is VERY HUMID so wear clothes that can breath. Ther
