My K1 visa was approved just last Thursday Manila time at USEM. Thank you so much for the great info you members provide here. It is very helpful to lurkers like me. I was the first one interviewed at exactly 8:00 am when the US consul's window opened. In just one or two minutes, my interview was over. I could never forget that time. I had to ask the US consul 'am I approved' coz when she said 'ok I approve your visa', the words did not first sink in. I just stood there immobile, listening in utter disbelief. When she confirmed I got approved, I practically jumped and cried at the same time. I thanked her also like several times (I can't recall). 30 minutes later, I had my exit interview and was out of the embassy.
Tips:
1. Overprepare. When the Filipina interviewer asked for my emails and chat logs, I presented 300 pages of paper printouts from emails, YM, Skype, GoogleTalk, etc. She said its ok, keep it. I think that was the deciding moment. Faced with... read complete review

Me and my friend Madilyn stayed at Lotus Garden hotel.we got at the embassy around 4:30, the line for k1 was already long. they started letting us in around 6;20AM,
they asked for passport, appointment letter, DS-156,DS-157,DS-156k. they arranged it and handed me back the papers and my passport, then I proceeded to the xray scan area, I didn't bring anything except for my papers, so it was fast.then I proceeded to window 3, dropped my papers, and they gave me a queuing number, (6033) and asked me to drop the papers to window 39, there was a guy who collected the paper, so it was easier again, took a seat and waited for my numbers.
after 15 mins, my number flased and i went to window 40 for finger scanning. she asked my name and my birthdate, then i was done and was told to wait for my number to be called again.
After 30 mins, my number flashed again and this time, its at window 53, for the filipino pre screener. she was nice and soft spoken.
she asked ... read complete review

Thanks guys for all the Congrats! sorry I wasnt able to post what exactly happened at USEM....
The Initial Interview with the Filipina Pre srceener was asking for all revalent documents. She asked Grace why it took so long for me to process the Visa?? Grace Answered and said because of his job and also because the more important thing a major issue in our lives was her fathers hospitalization and eventually Passing. she said ok and after a few moire questions told her to have a seat and wait for the final interview. After a couple of hours her number flashed on the board and it was time. Her CO was a Lady and according to Grace in her words....." Very Very Strict"! Grace said the entire interview was focused on me according to her. Questions asked:
1. Who is your petitioner?
2. What is his full name?
3. What is his age and Birthday?
4.How many times has he been married?
5.Who are his ex wives? ... read complete review
