Interview was VERY TYPICAL compared to the other positive reviews that the manila embassy received. Of course there were long wait times and lots of different people. However, sitting next to people that were in the same boat as me (k1 visa applicants) helped pass the time. The consul was a caucasian male who was very polite and asked me questions about my job, justin, my son, what we did for a living, and general questions about our relationship. After the interview he said we were done and that all we needed was a co-sponsor and to return anytime M-thurs before 1pm! As many people have said, normally the USEM does NOT accept co-sponsors for k1 visas. BUUUT, in our particular case, HE DID ALLOW US!! This proves that on a case by case basis, although very rare, the USEM does allow cosponsors. Unfortunately, i do NOT know the qualifying criteria since our case didn't seem any more different than any other cases we've talked to people about. So upon returning with our cosponsor's paperwo... read complete review

Got white slip but easily fixed with requested papers turned in at end of the business day. Visa received 1 month after. Thought USCIS and NVC would have caught the mistakes not the consular. Oh well probably best the consular did otherwise NVC or USCIS would have been longer delay.

We arrived for the visa interview early in the morning. My Fiance was able to go with me to the interview. The process was very well organized given the number of people there. We had a preliminary interview/review of all the documentation required. My USA Fiance was told to let me answer the questions unless asked specifically by the Consulate. We waited another 30 minutes before the final interview..was told right then we were approved! Next step was to get our Visa packet mailed to my house. Couple things that we wish we knew before. In addition to the Visa, you must get CFO Sticker and Guidance and Counseling Certificates prior to leaving. Unfortunately we had to make another trip to Manila to take care of this (If we knew we could have taken care of part of this while in Manila). The Philippines will not let you leave the country without this sticker on your passport, as well as your Certificate (Counseling). You can get the Certificate before the Visa, but you must ha... read complete review

My visa interview was set at 830am. I arrived at the US embassy at around 630am with my mom and aunt. There was no line at the Immigrant Visa line so I was able to get in as soon as I got there. Lucky me!  Then I went to the Immigrant Visa Unit and got my number from the lady at the counter. She took my appointment letter and asked if I don't need to go back to St. Luke's. I said no. I sat down and waited. I was observing the pre-screeners from Windows 17-20 and the guy on Window 19 was the only one using his microphone. I was sitting at the back near the CR but I could still hear his questions. So I was thinking I hope this guy doesn't call me. But what do you know, God has a sense of humor and HE called me! :lol: Oh well, so I went to him. He was a serious looking man and was all business. He was nice and not rude. He was addressing me in Tagalog and asked me the following questions:
1.What's your name?
2.When's your birthday?
3.How ol... read complete review

Interview was long...20 minutes. Spent most of time asking me about my past relationship and why I never accepted his repeated petitions. After that, he did not ask me much about me and my husband. Realizing all of my papers were in order, he really started hunting. "Hmmm, I see you changed your birth certificate because your last name was orignially spelled incorrectly. Please go get us another NBI with your incorrect spelling on it, we'll call this delay "NBI AKA"." I left and immediately went and obtained the NBI AKA. I will deliver next Monday and hopefully they will process it soon.
