As I remembered, the CO asked for:

1. Petitioner's full name, job designation, and name of the workplace

2. Where and when and how did you meet.

3. Did he visit here in Philippines, when was it.

4. What's your job and name of the workplace.

5. When and where did you get married. Consul will ask for photos of the wedding day, I had 6 photos and I showed it to the Consul Officer.

6. CO will ask if you and your husband have kids. Since we don't have yet, she didn't probe more about this.

7. Asked if I got married before I married my husband. I was single before so CO asked for original CENOMAR NSO issued preferably within 6 mos before the interview date.

And after these short questions, she told me your visa is approved... I had remittance receipts, cards, Facebook messages, Skype Videocon photos and 47 photos of me and my husband, some with my family, but the assigned CO didnt bother to ask for it from me. Though, to be sure, please bring all the evidences that your marriage is bonafide with you just in case they will ask. One more tip, bring copies of all the papers you sent to NVC and USCIS, just in case they lost a copy. Like in my case, they can't find my NSO issued marriage certificate good thing I have 1 original copy with me. Before I forget, cellphones, USB, chargers and all electronic device are not allowed inside the embassy. I hope this will help you. :-)
