My fiance and I (petitioner) arrived at the Embassy at almost 7am for our 7:30am appointment. After reading here that folks don't necessarily have to arrive at 4am. I suppose it's ok for people to arrive that early. They will just be helped first and thus released early. If you arrive later, then expect a later release than folks who came before you. Simple logic.
After the usual scanning of your belongings, etc at the front, you will ultimately end up inside where there are 5 steps to complete the process. There are no big complaints, the experience was okay. No hassles. There are "greeters" inside the Embassy that will direct to where you need to go. My only complaint is that in their attempt to expedite the lines and people waiting, the order of folks got scrambled and those who got there later ended up going home first.
Generally, I would just suggest to prepare all your requirements and prepare for potential questions the consuls may ask. This revie... read complete review

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE
The Filipino Consul was very accommodating and friendly.
He just asked me basic questions like how did we met, when was the last time he visited me, how many times he visited me, how did my fiance got migrated to America, what is his work and how old are we. I was very nervous about my Affidavit of Support since my fiance didn't meet the 125% poverty guideline. He just told me that it is fine since we are both young and I can be able to work there. He said that everything is clear.
I was very nervous in my interview with American Consul but everything went fine. Just be yourself and be calm. He gave me a pamphlet. He just asked me how did we met, how many times he visited me and what is his work. He said I'm approved and congratulations. And then I proceed to releasing area.

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. I explained that it wouldn't make sense to do that because one... read complete review
