My husband's appointment was 6:30am.
Coming from Pangasinan he arrived at Manila at 4am and headed to the Manila USEM at 5:30am. People started to come as well.
Showed the interview letter, DS 260, Passport.
Pre-screening: Ds260,birth certificate, marriage certificate, Cenomar/advisory on Marriages (both His and mine),NBI clearance,he said they didn't even asked for his 2x2 pictures,the lady at the window started to ask questions too on how we both met etc..[I may have forgotten some other documents that they asked for,this is just how my husband told his story from what happened.]
They also even took my 2019 tax transcript.[I dont know if this is at the prescreening stage or consul stage]
Next biometrics: fingerprints [according to my husband the Filipina ladies are so strict and serious. But the guys like the consuls are so understanding and nice.
Next waiting name to be called by the consul, they only ... read complete review

It was fast. I was in and out after 30 minutes (but of course, this is during the pandemic). Interviewer was straightforward, and luckily I have all the requirements he needed.

UPDATE: As of September 26, 2020, we are still in a holding pattern. The consular officer told my fiancee at her February 4th interview that all they needed was a copy of her mother and father's marriage certificate and passport, and that she should receive them back in about a week from receipt at the Embassy. We never did hear anything back. Then the Covid shutdown came in the middle of March. Finally on July 2nd, came back a simple denial of the visa, with no explanation. We were both a little stunned because there's nothing in either of our backgrounds to justify this response. No health issues. No criminal background. No additional marriages, etc.
I learned that the Embassy kicks all paperwork back to one of the service centers for a final review, and that the service center can either confirm the embassy's decision or overturn their refusal, and approve my fiancee. How long does that take? The embassy's refusal came on July 2, 2020 and today is September ... read complete review

The Consul did the interview is really kind and understanding when I told him I was nervous My palms were too sweaty for fingerprints verification. I was asked back to back questions related to my fiance and our relationship plus some questions regarding the photos and chat logs I presented. After the interview, I was told that the embassy will inform me when to pick up my passport and visa. After 3 days, I received a new form for additional questions (scrutiny?) about social media accounts, previous emails, phone numbers and address for the past 5-10 years. The embassy staff are very accommodating to all the emails my fiancé and I sent. I received my visa 10 days after the interview.
