And preferably avoid all-CAPS posts. 

And don't forget the free guac to go with the trump taco. 20% more guac. It's gonna be bigly. 

Consulates are staffed by officers trained with some knowledge of the local culture at their post. They have discretion if they spot questionable evidence or anything else that stands out. CO are human too, but the burden is on the applicant to make their case beyond a reasonable doubt.
For an applicant with a genuine case backed up by supporting evidence, terms such as 'fraud' or 'denial' do not usually enter the lexicon. And maybe it's just me, but why refer to your spouse as "an American" versus a more personal "she is American"? Maybe I'm just splitting hair.. Just my 2 cents...

Embassies contract out investigative firms that send clandestine staff out to the field. If they harbor suspicions, COs may contact family, banks, employers, etc. Experienced consular officers seem to have a sixth sense, esp if there are certain flags in an application. 
I know of one scenario where the CO reached out to a New Delhi visa applicant's employer prior to interview, following which the visa was denied. 

First, please fill in your Timeline. 
Your posts from a year ago created confusion as to which visa applies to you. 

Handful of (random) AOS cases receive scrutiny; majority sail through. 

Yes
USCs are subject to questioning and consequences like any other arrival, the only difference is they cannot be denied entry. 

If you are physically in the US, as in maintaining US domicile, she does not need to travel to wherever you work. She could file AOS since both you and her are currently in the US. And she should cease employment until authorized. 
 
Not every lawyer is cut and dry.. they look out for what earns them the most; take advice with a grain of salt. 

F1 requires non-immigrant intent, clearly not the case here. Correctly denied. 

When dealing with high fraud embassies, evidence matters, but has to be genuine. Fb created primarily as a immigration ruse can easily be exposed, which destroys the credibility of every other type of evidence. 

Changing labels would not change visa requirements. If a visa category does not exist, it doesn't exist, not matter the label. 

The medical center will not allow him in without the official note.
An India K1 member recently posted they tried exactly that and were rebuffed until an official notification. Guess the medical centers have caught on to Delhi folks trying to beat around the system. 

Back to OP's ques.. father-to-be applies for a B2 tourist visa. He should start the process now to be able to have a decision within 1.5 mos. 

All b2 applicants are perceived to have immigrant intent.. up to each applicant to prove otherwise to be approved. 

A lot of Filipinas want to come to the US, but unfortunately a good number of them end up overstaying; as you probably know. If you want to know one good reason you were denied, it's those previous 'visitors' from your country who decided not to return, oftentimes leaving young kids behind. 

visa shopping by any chance?

Not related to Country, related to lack of ties (and the previous denial). 
 
Trump talked to Erdogan.. so, country has nothing to do with visa adjudications.

Immigration may not be fair, but the law is the law. You're lucky you can at least visit, many others spend years away from loved ones.
