Appointment Date: 28 March 2016
Appointment Time: 6:30 AM
Total Time Spent in Embassy: Approx. 2 hours
Visa Issuance Date: 29 March 2016
Visa Delivery Date: 1 April 2016
My fiancé and I lined up outside the embassy at around 6:00 AM. A woman escorted us to the back of one of the queues, but a few minutes later, I overheard that the queue we were on was for 6:45 AM, so I asked someone else where the 6:30 AM queue was and moved there. It was a much shorter line. We stood outside for about 10 minutes and then we were called in.
First step, which was Biometrics, went smoothly. Step Two was Pre-Screening, wherein we encountered a very irritable, impatient Filipina officer (or whatever they're called). Step Three, Oath Taking, was quick and easy. The wait for Step Four, Interview, probably took about 15 minutes. The interview itself felt more like a conversation; it was easy and laid-back. We weren't asked for any additional document... read complete review

I had my interview last March 4, 2016.
Arrived USEM premises around 7:20am for a 7:30am Appointment. I took my breakfast first before going to USEM. I stayed in a hotel near the embassy so I estimated my time in order not to be late nor too early of my appointment. Luckily there's only 2 people in the line outside USEM for K1 line. Mostly were inside already in the USEM building. So less waiting time for me outside.
Inside USEM's Premises-Tent Area-Checkpoint
I presented my passport, DS form, Interview Appointment Letter and Appointment Letter from SLEC (the one with stamp from SLEC). The Greeter's stapled the Interview appointment letter together with the DS form and attached a sticker at the back of my passport and they put a plastic ziplock of my passport.
Then followed the security check Inside USEM's Premises- Security Check Point. Then I was instructed to proceed to ticketing booth. In the Ticketing Booth I was ask to dropped my passport and... read complete review

my fiancées interview was at 6:45am, she got there at 5:30am someone had chair for rent for 30 Pesos each while everyone was waiting for the embassy to open. just remind everyone bring absolutely no electronics she had brought all the evidence of communication with her cards and print outs of our skype conversations one of the cards I sent her played music when you open it she was told to throw it away or she would be barred from entering the embassy till she did. the whole experience was good aside from that, the consul didn't really ask her that many questions just , how did you meet, when did you meet, what were my hobbies, what do I do for work, and old am I. at the end K1 visa was approved and I was able to book her flight later that night(I knew she would receive the visa back in approx. a week so I booked it 3 weeks from approval. she was back at the hotel by 9am. Also for anyone else who will be interviewing there especially an early morning interview I would recommend The Bay... read complete review
