they asked her do u have all the requiremtns now. the printed ds160 form

she answered yes i got it printed already but not my nbi and medical.

our interview is march 17. she is going on the 9th to do her medical

Something fishy is going on here. are they investigating her or trying to see if she will rush there to try to take a easy way to get a visa. she was petitioned by a guy over a year ago but they broke up and she had him withraw the petition and it never got an noa2. i think maybe they think she is looking for a visa and will do anything to get one and are testing her. she did not tell them that i am also going to be going to the interveiw with her

We both truly love each other and i have visited her twice spending a month with her and her family. and going for the third time to the interview

Are you saying the supposed CO asked your fiance to go on a date with him for an easy interview? That sounds like someone not from the US embassy- either joking or deliberately being mean to your fiance. While they do ask trick questions, this does not sound like something a CO would say.

The number came from Phil..I cant believe it too that a CO can asked this things to me..But what if? Maybe not a CO,but someone who has connection with a CO' i guess'..I cant tell one of my friends or people can do this to me,I only gave my my number nd information when I scheduled my interview..Until im confused,what is this..thats why i need some opinion if theres someone had experienced on this too..

The US Embassy CO would not ask for this type of meeting. You should report it to the Embassy.

Why not just contact the embassy? This is a scam and I am sure they would want to know.

Wow, just in case this is someone in the embassy, it needs to get reported. It could be some employee that accessed the files there. Don't delete the texts, I think someone is going to want to see them.

Ok i save the sms..mayb

Have her block the number if she can. The Embassy would never do this, they would call or email and a well paid embassy employee would never risk their job. I would not bother reporting either as this is just a childish game. I have had so many unsolicited texts in the Philippines, even when doing a load the person has your number and can give it to others. Unlitxt and a bored Filipino...

Maybe we can contact the embassy and inform about this..thanks for all your reply;)

You can but my guess is they will do nothing. I am sure they do not like somebody impersonating them but what can they do? An embassy employee would never ask for favors in passing an interview, just not goiing to happen...especially since you have no idea or choice who is doing the interview..think about it.

It's most likely prank texting if not a made-up story. It's hard to believe that USEM would contact a K-1 applicant especially prior to interview. Have you or your fiancee tried calling the texter using a different number?

Its happened and been proved before. I've heard of cases happening in Manila in the past to.

I would say your fiancée is being scammed... that is not from USEM. This is not the first text/email I have read about doing ####### like that.... scammer!

Report it to the embassy, if it is happening often they will post a NOTICE on the embassy website warning others.

It most likely is a scammer, but that does not mean the cell numbers of applicants is not leaking out of the embassy.
