Our overall experience at the US Embassy Manila was pretty good. We filed DCF so it was pretty fast but not compared to other embassies where DCF only took a couple of months. I guess it was because of the high workload that the US embassy manila has to handle everyday. But their DCF workload is less. We just ran into problems with proving our marital relationship. It was because my husband and I are young didn't really have property, etc. We got 3 RFEs for our I-130. But looking back on it, the immigration officer was just doing her job. She was very helpful though.
Every time we called the visa section (local 5185), Lorraine was so helpful. She answered all questions we had and was very friendly the whole entire time. She was even the one who told me that I could schedule my husband's interview now at the call center. Remember, we filed DCf so we didn't have to go through the NVC process.
My husband said that everyone was nice during his interview (both prescreener and consulate). Maybe it was because they liked the way he presented himself and how our documents were arranged.
So overall, the embassy in manila although they have a high workload they still pull through.
