Interesting Find in Manila Embassy FAQs.

INTERVIEW PROCESS

Question:

Why are the visa interviews so short? I was asked only a couple of questions and the interviewer hardly looked at my documents.

Answer:

In a typical 8-hour day, a consular officer may need to interview 150 applicants or more, which allows about 3 minutes per applicant. The application form, if completed thoroughly, contains most of the information needed to adjudicate the visa. Additional documents are examined only if the consular officer needs to obtain further clarification of the applicant’s situation

During my interview I was there for less than 3 minutes. Only 5 questions were asked then I'm done.

Good Luck

cool

it will be more cool if my wife only has to answer one or two questions. lol

i sent all originals to NVC and the interview letter says all checked and accepted

so it means she does not have to bring any paper with her other than relationship stuff

i am hoping she go through in the interview smoothly but u never know what can happen

i am praying for the pink next week it will be all over for us. keep us in ur prayer.

I got confused. Did you say, you sent your original docs to NVC and they accepted it? Is it a new procedure? So you mean, ur wife will not bring her NBI clearance, birth certicate, ITR and W2 to the interview?When did you sent those?

Oh ok...I'm a K1 applicant, so no need for me to send those docs to NVC right? Will bring the required docs during my interview then. I'm a newbie =), hence im trying to read all the stuff here...and it seems that im having information overload.
