This day they were only operating for half day. However, I was approved! The consulate American was very friendly and reassuring, as I was very nervous. Interview took only 5 to 10 minutes. Thanks to God for my visa and future asawa!

Overall it was a pretty positive experience. We arrived at about 5:00am and we were first in line for our 7:30 appointment. We went through the finger scanning process very quickly. We then waited very impatiently for our number to be called for our Filipino Consular interview. It was a very frustrating process because people that were behind us in line got called for their interview before ours. This was really the only frustrating part of the interview process. However, when we finally got called for our Filipino Consular interview, she took forever to go over our paperwork. She did not ask that many questions but she questioned the authenticity of my fiancée’s birth certificate. She scanned the document with her little black light about 10 times before she finally told us to sit down and wait for our number to be called again. We waited for approximately 2 hours for our American Consular interview. When our number flashed on the screen, my fiancée did not believe me that it was ... read complete review

Note: I wrote this on June 25th. But posted it only today, July 2nd, 2013.
I’ve only decided to write about this US Embassy Manila / Consulate experience today (June 25th and releasing it online after my visa gets issued... [EDIT: still not issued. Still being held at AP]) because I’d like to do this as calmly and objectively as possible (at least try to be), and of course, avoid further possible “delays” that might arise from me speaking up.
Short story: My fiancé, Christopher, was here for my interview and we showed up at the Manila US Embassy New Office Annex Building (NOX1) and was neither denied nor approved. I (the Beneficiary) was belittled by Consular Officer. They kept my passport and we got a 221(g) sheet asking for more financial documentation from him. Denied co-sponsorship, he's graduating soon.
EDIT: We sent his updated employment letter, job offer; He's past the 100% poverty guidelines and barely short of 125% but wh... read complete review

javascript:emoticon(' ')I spoke to Mercy at 2am. She was too excited to sleep and was getting ready to leave for the Embassy for her 7:30 appointment.
At 11:53 am, she made it to an internet cafe' to write me in FB the sweet words;
"honey am approve yeheyyyyyyy"
All I know for now is the consular liked her real diamond engagement ring javascript:emoticon(' ')

My interview was initially set on 13 May 2013, they had to change it as it was Election day. Had my interview rescheduled on 17 May 2013 at 615. I was at the embassy before 5AM. Long line already, was able to enter by 630. I got a queue number but calling of number is not in order, i think they prioritize applicants with family/children, seniors and with disabilities before calling single applicants. Wait time between each step was long had to wait 90 minutes before i was called for biometrics, then about 45 minutes for initial screening, interview was only about 5 minutes where he asked for my original NBI and Marriage certificate, had to ask the name of my petitioner twice, i think he does not have any questions prepared, just asked if i visited USA before. Had to wait another 30 mins before my interview with the consular officer, basic questions were asked ie how long i have been married, name of my petitioner, my name, etc, i think IV was over in 5-10 minutes, was instructed to wai... read complete review
