Note: Documents are NOT submitted at this time. The submission of two forms, OF-230 Part 1 and DSL-1076, informs the U.S. Consulate/Embassy that you have all the necessary information and documents, and that you are ready for the interview to be scheduled. (Other forms are to be completed, but not submitted at this time.)

Interview/Appointment

The U.S. Consulate/Embassy will review the two forms for completion, and schedule an interview.

Going to the Interview

Information and documents, including all other forms that the fiance(e) has completed, are actually presented at the interview. The interview will focus on the bona fides of the relationship, intent to marry in the United States, as well as information relating to public charge (whether the couple has or will have have sufficient income in the United States).

I got all this from Here Maybe this will give you a start and other more experienced VJ members can comment.

Manila Embassy does not send out Packet 3. We only get Packet 4. We don't send anything back to the embassy but bring all the required documents during our interview.
