Relaying this info from my partner Zian as I, the USC, did not attend the interview. So sorry if it's a little lacking in specifics.
He arrived at the embassy around 6:45am for a 7:30am interview.
He went through 3 different stages inside the embassy(biometrics and two other stations where he was asked a couple basic questions about me the petitioner).
In total he waited about 4 hours to get into the actual interview where the CO basically asked him a lot of questions about me, the petitoner, like where I lived when we met, where I live now, what we did in the hotel together when I was seeing him in the Philippines(somewhat of an akward question perhaps). Then after about 10 minutes the CO told him he was approved and kept his passport.
Only odd thing, in a way, was the CO nor the embassy in general ever asked for any of the financial documents(I-134, W2's, letter from employer, pay stubs) or anything. He had them but they nev... read complete review

Filed our petition at the Embassy in Manila.
They are very organized.
They were very professional and friendly.
If you qualify for direct consular filing, we would definitely recommend doing so.

Overall, the interview process went smoothly and took about three hours. I was informed my visa was approved at the end of the interview.
Before going to the U.S. embassy, make sure you have all your documents ready and in order. I recommend dressing like you’re going to a job interview. Leave all gadgets at home – cellphones, USB, iPads/tablets, smartwatches, lighters, and all electronic devices are strictly prohibited. If you absolutely need to bring these items to the embassy, be prepared to pay P100 per item (you can haggle if you have multiple items) to vendors outside the embassy that will hold your item(s) for you. If you arrive early for your appointment (which is recommended), be aware there is no seating outside the embassy. There are chairs available for rent just outside the embassy for P30 per chair.
My appointment was scheduled at 9:00 a.m. and I arrived at the embassy three hours before my appointment. (I don’t suggest ... read complete review

My interview went well. You don't need to worry about being nervous or to stutter as long as you have genuine relationship, you don't have to hide anything, and your papers are all legal. I was very nervous that time and made me stutter and confused about my answer. I was asked about if my fiance is and american-filipino and I said yes (because I thought that he was referring to citizenship.lol) but then I just realized that that shouldn't be my answer so I told him "no, no he's pure filipino" then yea, he asked me how he became a citizen, then I told him that my fiance petitioned by his parents when he was 7 years old and the co said "makes sense" and that was it, he didn't asked for affidavit of support, neither the pictures nor chat logs. I think he was satisfied about our papers that was sent to USCIS.
By the way, the process was smooth and very organized. God bless to all!!
