:rofl: Just kidding! In the US Embassy in Manila they want you to bring copies of AOS/divorce decree and so forth otherwise they won't let you in eventhough you have an interview date already. Those papers are like your boarding pass to the X-ray before going to the gate area. Instructions to applicant in Manila below:

Arrive at the Embassy 15 minutes before the time listed on your appointment Letter. Bring the following document with you at the Embassy for your Interview: Appointment Letter. Valid Passport. CEAC Confirmation Letter. 2” x 2” color photo in white background For the safety and security of all applicants and employees, visa applicants are NOT PERMITTED to bring any kind of electronic and battery-operated devices (cellular phone, digital camera, laptop, music player, portable game consoles such as PSP, etc.) into the U.S. Embassy. Applicants who bring such devices will be denied entry. Please check the website www.ustraveldocs.com/ph for the security policy which includes a list of additional prohibited items. Subject to conditions at www.ustraveldocs.com/ph

By the way, good luck, stay calm, enjoy the experience and God bless you!
