Appointment was scheduled for 6:30am, so she arrived at 5:30am and had to wait outside until about 7:30am. They asked for all of the support documents and then told to wait. Lots of waiting. Actual interview only lasted about 15 minutes and he asked to see pictures and a few general questions (petitioners name, where does he work, how did you meet...). Also asked about wedding plans and where we were to live once married. Many couples there for the interview were placed on hold due to support issues (one petitioner had been unemployed for several months and the interviewer asked why he had come to Manila and how was he going to support his fiancee and children). Suggest having bank statements, tax returns, and a letter from your employer for the petitioner to show. Overall, a good process... except for the hours of waiting. She was on her way home a little after noon.
