US Immigration from Philippines

The consulate website talks about you must give them an address to send you passport after the interview.

We would prefer to just stay in Manila and pick it up when it is ready directly from the consulate. Has anyone done this? I d prefer to be packed and ready to go all in one trip to Manila.

Thanks.

When talking to CBP at the airport on an IR1 visa before they let us through customs, do they ask a lot of questions or scrutinize much? I'm curious so I can prepare my wife for it. We'll be entering the US together (and I'll be going in the foreign passport line with her).

Some confusion as to which forms are required. Looking at the US consulate in Manila website, they list the DS-260 is required. We thought we needed the DS- 160.

Same for the statement of support. The consulate lists I-864, and again, we thought we needed the I-134.

If you can clarify this, thank you.

My DIL and grandkids were converted to IW1 and are ready for exam and interviews. The problem is that we got 3 NOIRs on 3 of the kids, Lawyer said just respond that case is already converted. We wrote a letter and are sending copy of the conversion from NVC. but the website keeps saying unable to upload documents, try again later. Has anyone else had any problems?
