It was ok in general but the line outside was not that organized, you just keep asking the guards which line is it because everyone of them is saying diff things. I waited an hour for my first interview with a young Filipino guy, done in 30mins, called again for biometrics after 15-20 mins. The final interview was around 9:20am with a black CO who is so formal, it only lasted for 10-15mins because he only need another cenomar and nbi with my wrongly spelled name in the birth cert. and before 10 am i was given an instruction to submit the additional docs and filled out the courier delivery address.
Was issued K1 visa on May 16,2011 a week after being reviewed by the same CO!

First of all, they should have a proper pedestrian crossing in front of that portion of the consulate where the visa applicants assemble. I saw a whole family of applicants nearly got run over by a speeding car in pre-rush hour Roxas Boulevard. My humor being somewhat black, I actually got a little chuckle out of it. A telling anecdote to what lengths many Pinoys will go for the American dream, risking life and limb.
They also should rein in those touts who go around soliciting business by giving warnings about what are not allowed in the embassy compound. They actually perform a service to a few who didn't bother to check that part of the interview guidelines beforehand but the aggressiveness is a little irritating. They also seem to have this idea that the K-1 visa applicants are the most clueless of the lot. I actually heard someone use the word "inday," which I understand is also a local term for the household help.
I have no basis to compare the... read complete review

Finally got to the interview April 6, 2011 and got approved for both fiancee and daughter 2 years old. Went fairly well, didn't ask too many questions aside from the normal, how did you meet, what's his job, where does he live, guess all my detailed efferts in filling out the forms with the help of VJ and it's members really paid off. It's been quite a struggle to get to this point and stressed our relation to the maximum but we got thru it to this point now we need to book a ticket and get her and the child settled in the next few weeks. God Bless us all.
