Before i write my experience here. Let me thank everyone who posted their suggestions and recommendations. If not for all of these posts, I am not sure if I can make it. Thanks guys this is really a home for those who need help.

By the way, I stayed at the Manila Manor Hotel with my mom. It's just a few steps from robinsons. I did not stay near the embassy because the hotel there is much expensive compared to where we stayed. I just paid 4000 (3 nights) for a superior twin bed, with free breakfast.

I woke up around 3 am and start preparing for the big day. Before I go I called my fiance(Mark) to ask him about his ex gf surname which I really forgot. crying.gif.. Good thing he don't have a class yet and he was able to answer my call and got really inspired upon hearing his voice before going to the embassy.

I took a cab, it cost me P50.00 because the taxi driver did not turn on the meter. He just told me the price ( I don't mind at all because I am super nervous).

When I got there in front, the guard started to call those who have a 6:30am applicants. I got the chance to make friends with a fellow bisaya(from cebu) and talk about what will happen inside. But I did not get a chance to meet felow Vj members there.

Its about 5:45am that we started to fall in line. During this time BE READY WITH YOUR APPOINTMENT LETTER AND A VALID ID. And make sure that you do not have any electronic gadgets. I brought along a bottled water, the guard at the xray section told me to open and drunk a little to make sure that it was really water.

At the waiting area, the guard called the applicants by row to get their queuing number. Be ready with your 2 SETS OF DS 156 & DS 157 and 1 COPY OF DS 156K. Make sure you paid in the bank. I heard that yesterday there was an applicant who was not paid yet.

After that wait for your number to be flashed( not in order) for the pre screening. The lady asked me questions about what we wrote in I129F supplement question no 18. When and where did we meet. How long did he stayed here. Because my fiance just stayed for 6 days i had to explained to her why. The filipina pre screener asked for my NSO birth certificate, CENOMAR and NBI Clearance all original. After that she told me to sit down and wait for finger scanning.

I waited more than an hour before my name was called at window 33 for fs. When I got there the lady at this window was not able to find my application. She even asked me if I heard her called my name. I told her yes you did call me ma'am. I told the filipino assistant that I saw the lady accidetally put a stamp on my appointment letter without having my fingers scanned. He told me to just sit and they will just call me again. can you imagine how nervous I am? lol.

So I went back to the waiting area, and then my number flashed for interview at the consul. So I told the lady who facilitated the interviewees that I had not done my fs yet. She told me to just sit and wait for the my turn. When I got inside I greeted the consul good morning (good thing he replied). When he typed my name he found out that I had not done with my fs yet. He asked me if I did that and I answered no Sir. So he told me to just come back and have my fs before the interview.

After the fs, I had to greet the consul for the second time. He was very nice. He just asked or confirmed the things that were asked by the filipina pre-screener. other questions are how old is my fiance, when was the last time i saw him, where is he working, his age,is he living alone. is he single. am i single...

then he told me to wait outside. I take a look at BENG'S GUIDE. the releasing counter is at window 37. The guy returned the other documents that we submitted at the USCIS ( I had bunch of them) and told: JUST WAIT TILL WE HEAR FROM US. Asked me the receipt of the documents verification and told me to pay delbros......That's all. I am done. Thanks GOD!
