First off, you really don't have to be there crazy early because you all enter at the same time (around 7am -ish). The waiting times between counter can be really long but each counter transaction doesn't last for even 5 minutes. I honestly had no problems with the American Consuls. I think the pre-screening area with the Filipino personnel were much more problematic. They can only deal with basic requirements/documentation and not really familiar with other details (or just lack total initiative to go out and beyond their duties to help the client).
(Warning: Rant!)
I have sort of a special case since I had a legal name change effected last 2005 (NOTE: IF YOU HAD ANY CHANGES TO YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE GET AN NBI CLEARANCE FOR BOTH THE OLD AND NEW NAME). I have all the needed documents especially the 2 NBI clearances but the personnel insisted that I should have also submitted a CENOMAR for my old name.

If you have a problem there, DO NOT ask a Filipina/Filipino who works there for help. Go DIRECTLY to one of the windows and ask to speak to a supervisor. The Filipino support staff there will tell you to write a letter to Consulate or call them, and of course....since they take your cel phone away from you at the entrance...you cannot do that without leaving. We got there on time for our interview. Supposedly, the issue of my wife's "explanation letter" from the NSO had already been taken care of. The Embassy was supposed to have sent someone to get my wife's "letter of explanation" because of the comments that were put there by the Philippine NSO. We went through the motions like everyone else. Had to go up to the windows a few times where they asked for paperwork and made her do her swear in. But the next to last time my wife went up to the windo... read complete review

I hope my experience in usem Manila will help to those who have still waiting for their interview.my interview scheduled last June 4, arrived in Manila June 3, supposed to be a 1 pm flight from cdo. but it was delayed. I arrived in Manila ,around past 6pm. took almost 3hours to wait the metered taxi. I arrived in hotel almost 9pm, just sharing it coz for me its very important even.I was o tired already and no food yet since morning. but I told myself that I will go to church before my interview. that's what I did when I had my B2 visa, in 2005.got it. so I went to Baclaran church around 10 pm....
