It was not very difficult, just mostly waiting. Arrived at 5am for the 6:15 am scheduled appt. Just got in line for what was a first come first served approach. Many there since 3 am. First guard review was at 7 am, needed 2 (TWO) copies of the appointment letter and Passport. Go through security check, then on to window where the all important ticket number is assigned (6153) was the lucky number. Then go to seating area by 7:30 am and watch board. -standing room only so we were put outside and it was getting warmer by the minute. 9am ..finally called to the biometrics window. After two attempts prints were able to be recorded. Then more waiting...10 am pre-interview. Basic questions and pleasant. Did look at wedding photos. More waiting....11:45 am most were gone, and number was flashing..Nice CO who repeated most of questions. Also wanted to see wedding photos..specifically with the present family members. The CO had some problem finding the information related to my divorce decree ... read complete review

02:30AM - Woke Up
04:30AM - Off to the USEM
05:00AM - Arrived at USEM
06:00AM - At "Immigrant Visa and K1 Applicant" line, present your passport with the appointment letter. They will give you a zip-lock bag and put bar codes on your appointment letter and passport. Then went direct to door number 2 intended for Visa Applicants here they will check your stuff and pass thru a scanner. My husband entered door number 1 as that door was intended for American citizens. You will then be leaded by a railings and on one of those windows they will ask for your bar-coded appointment letter and give you a number, mine was "6087". They will tell you what to do next. You will pass by a Snack Bar area, you can also sit there while waiting for your number to flash and eat at the same time. Entered another door and passed thru a scanner again and gave my appointment letter to the USEM staff just facing towards me after the scan.

I am very happy today that my interview went well and visa application was approved. I am so thankful to my fiancé who really made his way here to be with me on my interview despite of his busy work. I think my interview wouldn't be that quick and easy if he was not with me. Today there were a lot of applicants and embassy had a technical problem so there were long waits for every steps. But it was just fine because many got approved today. Almost everybody I guessed.
Thank you everyone for your tips and for sharing your experiences to us. Thanks to my family for always supporting me all the way. Thanks to Almighty Father for hearing my prayers. I was really praying a lot when I was inside the embassy. Hopefully I can travel with my fiancé on the 30th of October.

VISA APPROVED!!!
Stayed in Boulevard Mansion Hotel which is just across the Embassy.Woke up 4:30 am but went to embassy 5:30 for my 6:15 appointment...Interview went well,the Filipino guy asked for my NBI clearance.And if I have pictures and remittances with me,I said yes but he didnt look at them...He told me to wait for my number to be called again.after 30 minutes the American consul in window 68 called my name.She ask who's my petitioner,wedding date,his work and how did we meet.And then she asked if I have plan to work,I said Im planning to take my NCLEX...ANd she smiled and said oh a nurse  ...And told me the good news " Your visa is approved,welcome to US."
So happy ))... 8 months of stressful processing's over.
