I know everyone have read sharing their experiences during the interview at USEM. Let me also share mine to help others who haven't gone their interview yet.

Appt at 7:30am me and my fiancé arrived at USEm 5:30. After an hour guards let us in. Before entering the gate you will present your appointment letter, passport that they will put in the ziplock and DS forms. Once you're done you will pass through bag X-ray then go to this window 2 and 3 for fiancée to get your number. You will be advised to drop your ds forms to window 39 but in my case a girl took the forms and she said she will just drop the forms to window 39 for me. Then proceed to door# 2 for non immigrant another bag check that you will pass through. Now waiting game starts for your number to be called. After 20mins of waiting they called my number for finger scan. Again after that you have to go back to your seat. After 10 mins we were called again pre-screen interview with a Filipina and she was very pleasant to talk with. Get ready with your NSO b.c, CENOMAR, NBI, BPI receipt and your finace's documnet I-134, W2s and employment cert to hand it over to the Filipino interviewer.

Questions asked to us were

If we are single and never been married

If we have kids

When did we first met

If we brought pictures with us..said yes but she didn't look at it and was told Just present to the AC

Finished these two steps at 7:40. AC started their interview at 8am from window 59 to 68. Waited until 10am when we were called to be interviewed only for 2 mins lol

Questions that were asked

When and how we met..........?

Waiting to fire up his next question to me but he asked my fiancé what does he do for living

Brad: I work for blah blah in oil rig platform

AC to me: are you ok with that? It's a dangerous job

Me: safety is his top priority and like I always tell my fiancé just go home in one piece.

AC to fiancé: (while browsing our docs) you like to travel a lot

Brad: yes because of my job I get to travel a lot.

AC to me: how do you pronounce your name and is that from Bohol

Me: (laughing) yeah I know name is complicated to pronounce and spells totally different. (Ixarah is my name) said its not from Bohol.

AC: yeah it's very unique.......and I guess I got it all the info you're approved.

Geez he didn't even look at the chat logs I pulled out from my envelope and pictures. My fiancé said while we were walking back to our seat "I am already your evidence" and I agree being with your partner helps a lot during the interview process.

Last stop is releasing and they just verified your address where to send your passport. Finished everything at 11am.

Like what toastedpancake said, yes in the Philippines petitioner is allowed to accompany his/her beneficiary during the interview process. Unless otherwise the AC advise your petitioner to have a moment with you alone. Just like what happened when we were at USEM, the fiancée was accompanied with her Pre-screen interview but when they were called by AC for interview he was asked to go back into his seat.
