I had my fiance stay at Casa Bocobo for his 8 day stay at manila for medical and interview purposes (He came from the province of Davao del sur and had no relatives living close to USEM). He said the place was really nice and so were the staff. Location was not too fat from SLEC and USEM.
My fiance had his medical exam on a friday and results were not until monday the next week (it was longest weekend ever! lol) Fortunate enough, he passed medical.
His interview was scheduled at friday the same week. After his medical, we had somewhat 3 days available to check our documents and answer questions, that is, questions I searched over VJ website and on the internet for possible embassy questions. I would ask over the questions to my fiance every night after work so that he may practice answering the questions and would be able to respond best. I had sent to him all the nescessary documents needed to show of financial capability such as income tax info, employment letter, pay stubs, bank letter and bank statement of accounts!
On the day of the interview, I had my fiance wake up at 5 am. He got himself ready then I had him eat a good hearty breakfast per then off he went to USEM. My Anxiety levels were bit on a high due to the fact they couldn't bring cellphones with them. I was glad it was my day off from work!
Per my fiance, process went by smoothly. Like how others had specifically shared by experience. When my fiance had the interview with the American CO, they just asked for the main questions like how did my fiance and I met, when we last met,etc. My fiance told me that the CO was very pleased when he answered in confidence and smiles, told him that there was no reason for him to be denied. So the practice of answering questions every night was a big help!  My fiance was very happy and he was welcomed to the US! He was done by 12pm to 1pm as far as I remember.
BTW, me and my fiance had been together for over 9 years already.. so proof of a genuine relationship was not a problem for us. We have no children or prior marriages.
Thanks VJ community - such a wonderful place to gain information on the K1 process!
