I had my interview last March 4, 2014 and my Fiance was with me.
We went to the embassy at around 5:30am. When we got there, I rented a chair for 30php (my fiance just stood up, he doesn't want to sit down hehe) and I was 6th in line. We waited for around 45minutes then the security guard called us up to line up near the tent(there's a separate line for each type of visa). So at the tent, there were USEM staff checking the DS-160, Appointment Confirmation and the Passport. When it was my turn, the staff asked if I'm done with the medical exam so I said yes then she checked my DS-160, Appointment Confirmation Page and Passport. She attached a sticker with a bar code and my name on it at the back of my passport then she placed my passport on a zip-lock bag and instructed me to get in. so my fiance entered the door for US Citizens and I entered the other door. There's a security check like the ones at the airport (make sure you don't have any electronic devices and other st... read complete review

Not much to write about. Her appt was at 7:30am. We arrived there at 6:30am and just wait in line. After security check, we receive a number and sit again and wait about an hour. After that she got finger printed and we wait another hour. Then we have an inter view fro a Filipino man who asked how long we know each other, where we meet, and our ages. We sat down and wait another hour, got called for interview with an American, he really didn't ask anything. He just told us that everything looked good and we were free to leave. Maybe it was so easy because I was with her, but I really expected something more.

Highlight of my interview:
Consul: What do you plan to do when you get to the US?
Me: Get a marriage license and get married.
Consul: What I mean is from the airport
Me: Go to their house and eat chili that his dad is making for me
(Consul's eyes lights up and he smiles)
Me: Is the chili in the US kinda the same with the chili con carne that Wendy's sells here in the Philippines? I haven't had just the chili before (lol.. didn't know that chili con carne is just called chili in the US.. silly me)
Consul: Yes, basically it's the same. There are just variations.
(Talks to people behind him and the lady consul beside him then laughs)
Consul: I don't mean to brag, but I got an award here in the embassy for making really good chili
(I was just smiling the whole time)
Consul: You know what my parents advised me when I got mar... read complete review

My interview was last 9 January 2014 with Bangkok Consulate. It went well and smooth, worth to mention how nice the lady CO was. She hadn't even asked my husband's name. It was done approximate within 3 mins.
Here comes my 221g.....
Prior to my interview, is the fact that there's an issue about my medical result. My left upper lung has a scar. I dont have history of TB before, no intermittent cough, my weight is the same and no fever. I never smoke as I keep a half-vegan diet. Obviously, I need to undergo Consulate's procedure in cases having such abnormalities. The collection of sample for sputum test was, by far, the most horrifying experience i'd ever had. Attempt to cough out sample has been unsuccessful for few times. I was induced through a nebulizer twice. I was even referred to a Pulmunologist for martoux test, which came out negative. My husband and I were almost about to give up, until a sweet-spirited nurse came to us and prescribed this powder form de... read complete review

My wife was asked "what is your husband's full name" by first the Filipino consulate officer, and then again by the American. That was her only question. She showed them a few photos and that was it.
She was told that she needed to submit a CENOMAR so she went to NSO after interview and paid for it and they said the US Embassy will receive it 3 days later. US Embassy told her that processing may take 3-4 weeks.
They never looked at nor asked about the other documents we had (1 original and 2 copies of ALL docs we submitted to USCIS and NVC, western union receipts, pay stubs from last 8 months, tax transcrips, returns and W2s and 1098s from 2010-2012, plus 2013 W2s, employment letter, all our Skype conversations since September 2013 (that was as far back as it went), FB conversations, all FB posts on each others walls since we met in July of 2011, all documents NVC say we need for interview, etc.
The document list we were given, both... read complete review
