The Manila embassy is a joke in comparison to how the Embassies work here in the U.S. I am an American citizen born and raised here. 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

June 24, 2015 was my interview date. i came to Abu Dhabi American Embassy at exactly 7:30am. but the security guard allowed us to get inside at exactly 8:00am. Strictly no bags allowed only the documents that you need for the interview in a clear envelope. I surrendered my cellphone and they gave me a number. on the 2nd door or bldg. they gave me a number to be called. the 1st window i showed to her all the requirements that they need and she'll tell you to go to window #1 to pay, and you need to give her the receipt. then sit down & wait for the finger prints after that just wait the CO's. I've been inside the room just in 5-10 minutes. CO asked me where did we meet? Do we have kids? How old are they? Are we married before? and how our communication goes. then she told me "ok well i don't see anything wrong, your good to go. Congratulations & good luck to your journey" just go back on July 2, 2015 to get your passport & visa. well its a good experience...you just have to know your fia... read complete review

hi everyone, its a late review ,coz I don't feel like celebrating until I have my visa. 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....

The consul officer was very friendly! But, the way they process the visas to put it together and deliver it to the applicant is really slow.
