Got there at 6:30 am for our 7:30 appointment. We got inside the embassy after 45mins and got our lucky number.
Waited a bit more for step 1: f/p and biometrics.
Step 2 was the filipino co. Submitted documents (nso birth cert, cenomar, nbi clearance, medical results, i134, 1040 w2) We were asked a few questions regarding the timeline of our relationship.
Step 3 was oath taking. Waited a very long time since orange girls forgot about our batch and we were the last few people who took the oath.
Step 4 final interview. Co was very nice. Only asked a couple questions (Our names and petitioners job).
Step 5 releasing, was just told that papers are complete and just wait for the visa to be delivered.
Finished by 10:30 am.

My appointment was 6:30 AM on May 8, 2015. I arrived at around 5:00 AM, and there were already so many people waiting. We were made to fall in line, so we can go inside the Consular Building or whatever it's called at around 7:30 AM.
I gave my DS-160, passport, and Appointment Confirmation Letter. Inside, I was given a number. Then, I proceeded to the fingerprinting section at about 9 AM. The pre-screening interview was okay. The Filipino consul didn't ask a lot of questions. Then, I waited for like an hour and a half for the Oath Taking. Another 15-minute wait for the Final Interview.
The American Consul was very nice. He didn't ask for my Affidavit of Support, and he just looked at our pictures. My fiancee and I were going to use a co-sponsor because his income didn't reach the poverty guideline. The consul told me that it wasn't a big deal because it's a K1 visa. We got approved!

I am not sure how helpful I will be. I can only give a review based on what my fiancee told me. She stated that the staff at the embassy were really nice and helpful. They really made you feel at ease. She stated that it was a long drawn out process that required a lot of waiting. According to her it doesn't matter if you arrived really early as they only select you at random for interview, for example, if your appointment is at 730, you could be called anytime from 730 onward. She officially had her interview around 11 am for a 730 am appointment. The first interview went well and was asked many questions by the Filipino consular officer-document overview. Then after many steps she finally made it to the American consular officer. She stated she was only asked 3 questions - what does your fiance do for a living, what sports does he like to do in his off time, and how we met. When the officer told her she was approved, he turned to her and asked, I see you are part of a religious organ... read complete review

My wife had her interview May 8th. I was unable to be with her at the interview. So I will try to give a helpful review of what she told me.
First thing I will recommend is book a room at a hotel close to embassy. My wife lives in manila, but we still thought it was best if she could be closer to the embassy for her 6 am appointment. I book a room for her at manila bay hotel right across from the embassy.
My wife told me she went to the embassy at 4 am. I do not know if a person needs to arrive that early or not but my wife told me the lines was starting to form. I ask her if the process was confusing. She told me it was but their was helpful people there that will direct a person to the right spot. I think my wife told me there are like 5 steps involve. I am not sure what all the steps involve.
As far as the interview. My wife told me she was interview first by a very nice Filipina lady in tagalog. One of the question the lady ask my wife was if my wife had a pri... read complete review

The nvc sent me a letter and I have an interview on June 8. They said My AOS is incomplete, specifically the I 864A of the household members. Because the tax part doesn't match the ITR. Because the household members are my husband's parents, and they are filing jointly, My husband included them both in the I 864 . What should be their tax per year the gross? Should they have the same numerical when writing their tax since they're filing jointly? They both filed I 864A, so their tax annually should be written same gross income?
