US Immigration from Philippines

My Fiance is in the Philippines, we have been approved for the next step which is for her interview and filling out the DS-160. then her medical. I am confused as to what to do. Do we fill out the DS-160 first and it will give up a bar code then we use that same bar code to get the interview time etc? Do we have to pay for the DS-160 first before we get the barcode???????? More questions than answers. Please someone help. My fiance is confused and so am i.

WASHINGTON U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is now authorized to expand its law enforcement authorities and newly-minted USCIS 1811 classified officers (commonly known as special agents) will be empowered to investigate, arrest, and present for prosecution those who violate America s immigration laws under a final rule published today.

Please help we are running out of time. My fiance is in the Philippines and Im here in USA. We got the approval for the I-129f and the approval expires Sept 7th in 4 days, I just got the info from NVC in Manila, Philippines for us to file for interview etc etc, Do we file for immigrant or nonimmigrant for her. Please help, I have been stressing out the whole time about this.

Our paperwork has made it to the Visa Center in Manila Thank God. We still need the interview and Medical. do we schedule the Medical our selfs and where do we schedule it at? Cebu or Manila and how.

As title says: for those DQ'd in August of any year, when was your interview date?
