hello! your fiance may want to read some of the reviews during interview with manila US embassy http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/index.php. here is my personal experience:

interview in june 09 -- arrived at the US embassy in manila around 440am with my fiance. there were about 30 to 40 people already there. i suggest that you don't go there that early. you may arrive before 6am. the guard will ask people to line up around 6am depending on the time of the scheduled interview. before 630am, we were already inside the embassy. quite strict with the no cellphone or electronic gadget policy. bawal talaga ito.

before you get to talk to the consul, you will have to go through 3 queuing:

(1) to get you queue number and submit your DS156 & 157 forms. if you paid your visa fee at BDO, the bank will provide you a validated 157 form and the bank receipt.

(2) document submission -- birth cert, nbi/police clearance, cenomar, affidavit of support & related docs, DS156K.

(3) finger printing

----

(4) interview with the consul -- tip here: the questions you were asked during your document submission are the same questions the consul will ask you (sort of validation maybe). be consistent with your answers and know the documents you have submitted (i.e. emails, photos, chats) by heart. the consul will ask a test question so don't make up any answers if you are not sure.

sample questions:

- what did you do in singapore?

- where did you meet your fiance?

- when did you start to chat?

- when did you first meet each other?

- how many times have you met each other?

- how did he propose to you?

the interview took less than 10 minutes. the consul was very nice and gracious. i would give it a 5.

good luck.

Be honest in all your replies. Speak up if you can't hear the questions. Now is not the time to be shy.

-Don't bring any cellphones, usb, bluetooth, ipod or any other electronic device, as well as food and liquids like perfume, cologne, water.

-Bring pen.

-Make sure all the documents are complete. If possible, get a baptismal certificate also. I wasn't asked of the certificate but on the day of my interview, someone was asked if she has one and she didn't have one so she was given a blue slip for that. It's better to have extra documents just in case...

-Relax, be confident and make sure you know all the basics about your fiance and your relationship.

Goodluck!!!

THANKS VERY MUCH FOR ALL YOUR REPLIES. I GUESS THE TRUTH SHALL PREVAIL RIGHT? Just so nervous.. hehehe.. sometimes a single word can be easily mistaken to mean something else.... - thats what i'm worried about... if they are very ####### with the way you answer a particular question. my hubby needs a confidence boost I guess thanks you once again. Have a blessed day.
