I was wondering. When you get approved on everything and when the day of interview comes. IS there a chance of denial or more information needed stuff like that?

It is possible, but rare to get denied at the POE!  I have read a few accounts where the immigration office at the airport would not allow the beneficiary into the US and they were kept in a room for a day while their return flight was booked.  They had no access to the outside world and could not even talk to their petitioner.  No phones, nothing.  

 

There are denials that take place because of something the CO heard or perceived at the interview.  They are well trained to spot lies.

 

To quote Yogi Berra, "It aint over till its over".

 

Any agent in the process can request more information or deny the petition.

It is rare but until they walk through immigration on the US side, there is always a chance of denial.  Just  make sure she relaxes and smiles and answer all the questions.  Everything will be fine.  Manila is a pretty good embassy and there are not a lot of horror stories from there.

Yes, there is a possibility.  These approval are just steps of the process. The interviewer at the embassy will look through information and ask questions and make sure you have all the information asked.   basically they are making sure there is a actual relationship, have finances to support, and other things.   More unlikely but at the POE they can deny entry as well.

I am hoping I am making enough money just to show in papers 

[mysticdolphin95 431]

Well, still "At NVC" after nearly a week...getting our number just before the long weekend did no favors, apparently!  Seems like most people only wait a day or two. 

 

Now that things should be moving quickly, I'm impatient

As long as you meet the minimum you should be good.  The CO has discretion though.  They can still deny even if you are at the minimum.  Luckily Manila rarely asks about financials.  From what I hear it has been only very rare occasions where they do ask.  Just make sure she has everything.
