Sorry i posted late how my interview goes. Me and my 3 kids arrived there at USEM about 6:30am already from Cavite, and the line was quite long already, after standing 20mins we get to enter in the embassy by 7:30 and waited to get the ticket number.My line got called for ticket number was almost 8am , i did noticed many is not prepared in their forms , like they dont paid for the kid they applying too , dont have the two copies of DS forms,not glued picture and dont paid the application fee 100$. But me I was very prepared i make sure each of us is complete and properly arranged and the guy who giving the number ticket in the counter told me i have beautiful kids and said goodluck. My lucky ticket number is 5005 , lol i think most of us approved dont forgot the ticket number.About 8:45 we are called in finger scanning , the lady was not that nice lol , coz she get me nervous coz at first i dont see the note in the window that u have to put all ur things in the floor when doing the fingerscan, so she said " dont u know how to read the instruction and ask for the next person in line and so i read and i put down my bag in the floor fast and she said ok ill take u again , i do my fingerscan just one time and she said very good coz some has to do twice or more, then she asked my eldest son i showed her and she said what a handsome boy , then my second son she said what a goodlooking boy , then my daughter what a beautiful girl , ur kids look like you they are all pretty , she dont get their fingerscan though she just look at them , ( i guess that day we had a very good aura lol most of them comment were pretty ) . About 9:30am i was called in the window 22 for prescreener , she is a lady , she is nice she greeted me good morning as well as my kids , she ask me the bc , mc , affidavit of support and since we are late registered she ask me some old ids , baptismal school records ,proof of relationship like phonebills , chat , email , while asking me the documents , she ask how did we met , how long we are married , how my first marriage ended , why it ended in divorce , she talk also to the kids just ask their name. AFter she gathered all the documents she want she said when do u planning to go in the states if u will get approved i said as soon i get my visa i would be flying to the states , she said ok thats all u have beautiful kids though , goodluck then , wait for ur number to be called for the consul interview. Thats it another relaxing step , just about 10am i get to called to the room nub 29 , the consul interview , we have to wait for another 5mins outside coz there still another applicant inside and i can hear she saying many things about his and her guy thats make me nervous more  , ok here is the moment of truth we go inside the room, the consul greet me hello and how are you , i said im fine then ill sit down , my eldest son was sitting across the other chair while my second is sitting down next to me and my daughter was standing in front of the window lol , i see my files in the front of the consul , the folder that the lady prescreener got from me that have all my documents and prove of relationship , the consul look at me and then he type something in the computer , then he pass along the folder just look at the first file in front and it was my bc , mc , baptismal and then he give back the whole folder to me and open the file from the NVC center. While he is looking at that file , he ask me how did we met , how long were married, tell me about ur husband , how long is he working in this company , wat is his kind of work, i was nervous in every question but i answered him fast and accurate , then he stare at me and then my first son across me and then try to look at my second son behind that the time was looking outside the room , so i have to call him to face the consul , and then my daughter who is in front of the window , he stared at us for i think 1 mins one by one and then he smiled and said they are really ur children they are beautiful like you, ok raise ur right hand and swear etc etc , i did not memorize lol i said to myself im raising my hand does this mean im approved, we answered yes and my daughter was quite shy , i have to tell say yes louder lol , and then the consul said ok we will just need the medical result of shane and everything will be alright and he stamped the word approved in my folder. i said thank you and he smiled again to us and tell me to wait for my name to be called in window 37 , after maybe 30 mins i got called in the window 37 and got my pink slip and same as the consul said they will just wait for the medical result of my daughter and paid the delivery fee. After we get off the embassy my sister in law waiting for me outside coz they are the one holding the cellphone and as expected my husband was waiting on line on the result lol. So all in all the experience is good the filipino and consul is nice. Guess its the beauty of pinay that attract the goodluck in that day to me hahaha .

My husband interview is finally over, and he was successfully granted his IR1 visa.
His interview was scheduled at 8:30 AM at USEM (Philippines) and he was there at 7AM with the rest of the applicants lined up outside the embassy. He was grateful to the front guard since he was told go inside the embassy since our 1-year old son was also with him and it was raining hard. Yes, it was true that there were scammers outside, so please be careful and not be lured by them easily.
Once inside, he was given a number and asked to keep until the end of his interview process. If you do not pay attention to the next flashing number, your name will be called on the microphone. Once he got to the window (I guess, that was the pre-screener and she was Filipina), asked him a lot of questions (my husband thinks she was very rude) which he thinks were unnecessary. But towards the end, became calmer and nicer.
He did not tell me what room# he was sent to, but the consul was a male and aged about mid-50’s. They did not take any of his paperwork, although he said he was carrying a bag that felt it weighed a ton. All they asked from him was our photo album. The CO was very pleasant, friendly and his questions were very direct: How did you meet? How long have you known each other? And since our son was with him inside the interview room, he asked Who’s the little boy and if he is included in the petition? My husband felt so comfortable with him, that while he was scanning through the pictures while asking the questions that they laughed most of the time. He even apologized at one point, since my husband had to quit his job to take care of all the paperwork and take care of our little boy. Finally, he said to my husband “I guess we have no choice but to approve you. Congratulations and Welcome to USA”. The interview lasted in less than 10 minutes. My husband did ask for visa pick up but was declined, and was asked to pay at the counter for visa delivery.
