I arrived at around 6 and lost track of time since because I wasn’t wearing a watch (and honestly, too nervous to care 🤣). My appointment was at 0635. There are different lines for different appointment times. Make sure you ask the guard because some people who are waiting are applying for a tourist visa, so you can proceed in front. I kept hearing “fiancé/e visa applicants first, tourist laterâ€.
When we were finally called to proceed, the usher gave us a ziploc bag where we had to put our passport (should be opened, showing your biopage) and was told that he only needs the DS-160 confirmation page. When it was my turn, he asked for my name and confirmed my appointment time. After that, he put a barcoded sticker on my DS-160 and gave it back to me. I was asked to proceed inside.
Before getting in, there will be a security check — both you and your belongings. I didn’t have to wait because they just opened so the... read complete review

My interview went pretty fast. Took us around 2.5 hours to get in and get out. Waiting in line takes longer than the interview itself but everything inside is organized and people were very helpful. Below is my interview experience with my 2 K2s.
We got our visa approved today. I want to share my experience for those who will have their interviews soon and as a way of me giving back to this wonderful community.
I have a tourist visa before so I’m a bit familiar on how things go inside the USEM Manila. Here's my tourist visa experience last 2016:
We arrived around 5:30 am. There are people who will offer you chairs for P30 each. There are also people who will offer services to print your photo or DS160 if you still don’t have one. There are people selling pens. Don’t buy pens, you don’t have anything to sign inside the building. Lines were divided per schedule, if people who are renting chairs told you stand up e... read complete review

Smooth transaction at the pre-screening and interview. However, St. Lukes wasn't able to forward my Electronic Medical Results before my Interview date.
At the pre-screening, they asked for all the documents that we uploaded on CEAC website, and confirmed its details.
They asked details about me and my spouse. We gave my original documents, photocopies of my husband's civil documents, affidavit of support and transcripts, and our joint sponsor's documents as well.
Same questions were asked by the consul.
Name, Birthday, Wedding date, Where and when did we met, when is the last time we see each other, my husband's work, divorce, children..
The consul gave me pamphlets about domestic violence as they are required to give those, they did not gave my passport back but still, they have to wait for St. Lukes to forward my results.
