From what I gather, it sounds like the morning Janice was there, it was smooth as silk. The Filipino consul asked far more questions than the American consul. American consul asked maybe 5 questions and then told her Congratulations!. Both were very pleasant and very professional from what I gathered.

If you are working in another country and recently resigned to return to Manila and fix the visa process... please read on!
My interview was scheduled at 7:30am. Me and my USC Fiance arrived outside to line up at the Embassy at 5:45am. There were about 15-20 ahead of us at the immigration line. Not sure if everyone was for K1 visa. We were processed and were inside the Embassy by 6:30am so I suggest you come waaaaaay earlier than your appointment time.
Process is the same as other reviews. Took us about 1 hour before being called for finger scanning, 30 minutes to be called for the documents, and 2 and a half hours to be called for the interview! My heart was racing faster everytime a number above our queue number flashed on the board. There was a window where the Consul was pushing our interviews probably every 2-3 minutes. There was one window however who was calling applicants every 20 minutes and our folder was sent there I guess.

Manila embassy was packed! I was scheduled for a 7:30am appointment. I was there at 5:45 and I regretted it. June to August is rainy season so beware. Stood out there until 7am then was given my number. It is a waiting game there. Took me 6 hours before I was released.
Forms asked upon entrance:
2 DS156
2 DS157
1 DS156K
passport taken out of cover
appointment letter first page
Go through inspection and out to the ticket booth.
give the forms to the booth and they will give you a number/ticket.
Proceed inside and dont wait outside. It's cooler inside plus you have to give the forms to a greeted inside bc they will pass the forms to window 39.
Sit in a chair in between counters 40-65. It's closer to the counters you will be first called to. 
You will have to come near a counter 4 times.

12:40pm - Arrived at the embassy for my 1:30pm appointment.. Tha guard asked us to queue at the parking area near the main entrance..
1:10pm - We were let in by five's, I was the third in line..I passed through the body scan and luggage belt, left my phone and charger with the security..I was given a number to claim my things upon leaving the embassy. Next was another security check just before the entrance to the building. Then they told me to turn left and take a queue number.
1:15 - I took my queue number 004 (top button on the queueing machine) and sat down. The room was more like a bank with chairs facing Windows 1-8.. It's all closed when I went in.. They started calling around 1:20pm..
I noticed that non-immigrant visa queue numbers are called quite faster, like 2-3mins apart... They were called in Windows 1-3... However, Immigrant Visa applicants were called at Window 7, 20-30mins apart...
1:40 - I was called at Wind... read complete review
