Thank you!

This is a case to case basis.

Based on my experience, the first interviewer (Filipino) did ask questions on name of petitioner, where my son is, have I traveled abroad and even ask for pictures with me and my son together. (Basically just validated the identity of me and my son)

The CO (American lady) did not ask any serious questions. She just looked at me and said you already have a 22 y/o son? And we joke around for a while and that's about it.

Please coach your mom to tell the truth. If she doesn't know the answer then tell the CO "I don't know". Explain to her to keep her answers short and to the point. Don't volunteer information if it has not been asked by the CO. It can do more harm than good.

My friends parents were asked Where is the petitioner working and spouse, what is the address, when was the last time they saw them. Simple questions :)

We are going to Phils and will be there during interview. I plan to go with my parents during interview. Do you think embassy will let me accompany them?

Yes, that's what I told her just a simple yes sir/ma'am or no sir/ma'am. And yes if she's not sure an i don't know would be fine. Just putting a lot of stress and anxiety on me coz she gets really nervous...and cause problem ! Haha

As long as you have your passport, I believe they'll let you in especially you're the petitioner and a us citizen
