[Myeeh and My Bob 4]

I would like to share to you guys my interview experience.

- I arrived at the embassy 6 am and the line was already long. They let us in around 6:30... they checked my passport, ds 160 confirmation page and appointment letter. They will give a ziplock plastic to put your passport in.

- As you enter the embassy there's a security check. Food, water and gadget are not allowed.

- line up at the Ticket booth to get your queue number. And they told me to drop my appointment letter at window 39 and wait for your number to flash on the screen.

- at the waiting area there's a small canteen wherein you can buy food and eat at the waiting area.

Window 49 (Filipino consul), he ask my name and birthdate and original documents ( passport, nso birth certificate, cenomar, updated nbi clearance, affidavit of support (Form I-134) and latest ITR. It took 5 mins before he start questioning coz he's looking on all the documents and on their file and he said "just relax ok it will take awhile..."

This is a very encouraging story of a successful interview! It certainly empowers all those who are about to go through the interview. Your experience is very uplifting and inspiring. Congratulations and may the Lord bless you further.

May I just ask when does one answer the DS160 after setting an appointment for interview?

Thank you! May God bless your journey too.

You can start your ds 160 as soon as you got your manila case number already.
