The filipino officer is not so nice...She seems more intimidating than the american CO. The CO is very friendly. He only ask few questions:
When and where did you meet your fiancee? When was the last time she visited the Phils? Did you work in other countries? Do you have pictures together? When do you plan to get married? Very simple simple questions...After that he said, everything seems fine...but did not say that we were approved...He just told us that we will be called again to recieve final instructions...After a few minutes, we were again called to the other window...The person on the 2GO counter said...ok, you are already approved, just wait for your visa to be delivered. He did not tell us any idea on how long woould that be...The whole process ended at about 1030

APPROVED!!!
July 12, 2012 6:30 am at US Embassy Manila
I know I dont have a good sleep, I woke up at 3:30am, get up myself ready. Eat some before you go to your interview. I double check my things again even though last night before going to bed I checked it lol... I think everything is fine so we leave home (with my mama&brother) at around 5am.
5:45 at US Embassy, many were in line already. There are 2 linesfor Immigrant Visa together with Fiance Visa then another line for Non-Immigrant and Sea fearers. They started checking our requirement upon entering the embassy. They will tell you to ready your Appointment Letter and Passport, they will ask what did thr St. Luke's gave you after passing the medical exam, CD or Envelope? then I answered CD with my vaccination record, they will put a Barcode at the back of your passport and also a barcode to your 2go slip for shipping it has the same number. then gave me ziplock plastic for passport th... read complete review

Their questions were asked in a kind manner, it was a nice experience. they wanted to know about how we met, our wedding plans, and looked over the personal photos of us and his 1040 income tax return.
I went to the embassy at 5am and I'm glad that I did because I got through very fast; masses of people begin coming at 5:30 and you will have large delays if you arrive after 5:30. My visa was delivered to me in Cebu City within 2 days after the approval, so this was much faster than the typical 1 to 2 weeks.

Where we Stayed: Lotus Garden Hotel
How to Get to USEM: walk/jog/taxi
Time of Interview: 6:30 (arrived at 5:45, finished at 8:30)
The day before our interview, we tried walking from the hotel to the US Embassy, just so we could be familiar with the route and not waste time being lost. I also timed it - it was less than 10 minutes from the hotel to USEM, and that's while walking at a leisurely pace. On the morning of the interview, however, things ran a little late (due to our breakfast taking an extremely long time to be served), so we opted to take a taxi instead. It took less than 5 minutes.
*If you will be having your interview with your kid, you may or may not be allowed to bring a companion. We weren't allowed, so it was only me and my daughter inside. The manang ballpen vendor outside said it depends on the guard on duty.

- The queue is formed near the annex, NOT THE MAIN BUILDING. Pr... read complete review

First of all, to God be the glory for the visa approval! (IR1 and IR2)... :-)
Our interview schedule was at 6:30am on July 10 but we got there 30 mins early and a lot of people were already lined up according to their visa categories. I met a K1 visa applicant whose appointment was supposed to be at 7:30am but the guard didn't allow her to line up yet because he said that line was for 6:30am appointments only.
The Filipino pre-screener was nice and asked me about some basic personal questions like my name, date of birth, who the petitioner is and his name, his job, if I have traveled to other countries before, how and when did my husband and I meet and when did my husband arrive (I said, "Sunday, July 8".
He said (in tagalog) "I can see that your birth certificate was registered late..do you happen to have your baptismal certificate with you now?"
Let's backtrack less than 2 weeks ago... I was reading a lot here on... read complete review
