Everything went fine with the consulate officer. Except that it was a long wait period. There were so many people there. I arrived 715am., and I was done with the process at 1215pm. So to all of you having an interview in the Manila US Embassy, allow yourself probably 4-5 hours of total wait and processing times.
There was a pre-screener who was more meticulous than the consul. The pre-screener asked for our evidence (emails, chats, pictures, etc.)The consul pretty much asked me questions from our forms like he was using them as a guide. Pretty much information from our biographic forms.
Oddly enough, the pre-screener didn't ask for our other original documents. But, that's not to say that you should not bring them. It's still a good idea to bring those documents because you might encounter a pre-screener or consul who is different. In other words, just come prepared.
My overall experience was that it was tiring. Just a long process. But it was worth the wa... read complete review

We arrived at embassy at 6:15 and stood in line for about 15 minutes. Let inside to go thru security very easy process.
Guard sat us in chairs with others for the 7am interviews, took about 30 minutes and they asked us to get in line for our #. We drew #7033 then we sat and waited.
After about 1 hour they called Elena to have her fingerprints scanned, she say they were very nice.
After about 1.5 more hours they called our # and we went in together for the interview. CO was very nice man, swore us in that we tell all truth.
Ask us a few questions each. Where and How we meet. How many visits I make to Philippines. If I was married before. Did I have any children. We asked if we could pick up visa and he said only if medical emergency or I had to leave country in next 3-5 days. And that was pretty much all, he told us we were approved and asked us to wait for name to be called to get our documents. This took about 10 more minutes then we get in line pai... read complete review

Interview is very brief, concise and simple.  Althought it has preliminary interview and finger scanning etc., the procedure at the USEM Manila is very systematic and organized. The waiting of course is really exhausting because of the tension and such, but when you have all the documents they need, you will go through it very hassle free.  .
I just hope i can receive the VISA and passport soon!

Things went very smoothly during Lorena's interview. She arrived at 8:30 am and was called in at 9:00 am. The questions that were asked of her were very straight forward and simple. Nothing complicated. She was approved within an hour and a half of being called in. I would rate the Hong Kong embassy as very friendly and efficient.
