The CO's see thousands of applicants a year, so you are no different then anyone else coming before them. There is no need to have a concern. You may request an interrupter in your native language and you will not be looked down on for doing so. The one question that will surely be asked if you use an interrupter, is how you will communicate within your relationship with your husband.

You will meet during your interview the Filipino CO and an American CO. Upon completion you will talk to a person who's duty it is to make sure that they have a correct address for shipping your documents or to inform you that you may need additional documents. Under the extreme case you failed your interview that person will inform you of the CO's decision and return your passport. If they keep your passport that's a good sign you have passed.

At CFO you may see three to four people but there is one, the interviewer, that you have to convince that you have a true relationship.

Just be yourself, be confident and answer the questions truthfully.

I'm sure Greenbaum meant to say interpreter and not interrupter.

Nope... he was referring to the "great and all knowing interrupter"!

You should be self-assured and confident, look the CO in the eyes when speaking ... and smile

You will be interviewed twice, once by the pre-screener which is a Filipino and then later by the Consulate Officer.

The CO that interviewed my wife was totally fluent in Tagalog, switch between Tagalog and English without blinking an eye.

From my experience, the pre-screener is not interviewing at all , but just collects the needed documents from you.

Not sure what experience you have with the embassy in Manila, but I know when my wife and I were there the pre-screener asked a variety of questions of both of us, along with collecting the documents, Maybe he just enjoyed our company

Yes, just be yourself. They will sense your sincerity and truthfulness. From my recent interview, I suggest you review what your fiancee declared in the I-129F. Majority of the questions asked of me were derived from it. Just sharing. Good luck!

I agree with Hank. When I and my wife were in front of the Filipino CO he not only collected the documents but also had questions for both of us. But for some, it may have been a different experience.
