^ the step by step guide sis, this will help you with your visa journey ☺️ Goodluck! And yes it’s better to provide as much evidence as you can so you don’t get any feedback for giving more evidence because it will just delay your case. ☺️

Interview: September 9, 2019 (APPROVED)
I arrived at the Embassy at 6:15 a.m. I think then We got inside at 8:00am. I handed my DS-260 to one of the staff there (people in a blue shirt) and I got my barcode sticker and I was instructed to line up at section A.
First Step: PRESCREENING (Filipino Officer)
I was assigned to Window 37. The officer was Filipina. She was very nice and pleasant. First, I handed her all of my civil documents such as:
Birth Certificate
Marriage Certificate
CENOMAR (Advisory on Marriage)
NBI clearance
Police Clearance from Bahrain
SLEC Medical results*
Passport
Divorce Decree of my Husband from previous marriage
(Bring all the EXACT and ORIGINAL copies of the ones you uploaded in CEAC)
The Officer only verified a few things with me like:
When did I meet him
My parents name
Did he visit philippines
Previous marriages (if there were any)
Kids (if my husband and I have any already).
And if my husband is active duty military
2nd step: BIOMETRICS (American Consul)
At Window 51, the Consul took my fingerprints after she asked my name and birthday.
3rd and final step: Interview (American Consul)
The consul greeted me. Asked for my barcoaded DS-260 and proceeded to ask questions. The questions he asked me were:
About my husband:
Who is your petitioner?
How long have you been married?
What’s his job?
How did you meet?
Did he visit philippines?
Does he have any previous marriages?
Does he have any kids?
Why I choose to get married in Bahrain
He handed me two flyers and explained to me how to ask for help in the US in case of any instances of domestic violence and then he asked me to raise my right hand and swear that everything I’ve said (and about to say) throughout the interview is the truth.
About me:
Do you have any previous marriages?
Do you have any kids?
Have you ever travelled outside the Philippines?
The consul was very nice and after he asked me all the questions he said you can go home now, your visa is APPROVED! ❤️
