MAY 23, 2016

My USC husband and I went to my interview schedule at the US Embassy in Manila. Over-all experience was smooth. We got there around 7:15AM for our 7:30AM appointment, just in time coz they just started letting people in for 7:30AM sched.

Since we're doing CR1 via DCF, it has been a pretty fast-paced journey for us, even the interview. Everything was done at the ground floor.

You fall in line outside in the "Immigrant Visa" lane, show your passport, appointment letter and DS-260 confirmation page. They put your passport in a resealable plastic bag which you carry with you until the final step.

Then inside, you get scanned, get your bag checked.

You go to a booth to get a number. Proceed to Window 38.

Step1a: Data entry/review

Step1b: Fingerscanning

Step2: Pre-screening + Payment of IV FEE $325

Step3: Oath-taking

Step4: Interview with an American consul

That's it! We got approved and free to go home if we have no further questions. Since we already registered a delivery address online, and you also fill up that part on the DS-260, there's no more step 5.


We're done by 10am. SO it took us about 2 1/2 hours all in all.
