I was interviewed in Manila too on a K1 visa same office they are interviewing immigrant like family sponsored visa's. They ask me how me and my fiance met, how many times we met, where and when, what he do for work, if I have met his family, they have ask about my son, how old was he and his birthday, they ask how many times my fiance has visited Philippines and when. Since I was working in Dubai at the time of our interview and came back to Philippines for our interview they ask me about my work in Dubai and if I am still going back once my visa is approved.

For more info... you should check the forums on Regional ... Philippines on this site the members of the Philippine forum will give you more insites or you can visit www.*removed for spam* for more info.
