It went well. Questions are only from the form i485 which are just the yes/no questions. Was only inside the room for like 5 minutes or less than 10 minutes. It was quick! |

| Embassy Review : |
Hi, everyone! I want to share my interview experience in US EMBASSY MANILA last August 23,2017, 6:40AM.. especially to those who are going to have their interviews in Manila.  )
I arrived in US Embassy at 5AM. The guard let us in around 5:40.. You have to show them your APPOINTMENT LETTER, DS160 and passport..
we waited for 10-15 Minutes before they let us move to Data entry.. At the DATA entry, they gave us ziplock where we will place the passport.. They also took our ds160.. they will put a sticker on it then they will give you instructions where ypu should go.. They gave us back the DS160..
Next is FULL BODY SCANNER
And then another FULL BODY SCANNER before you can proceed to the main building where you will have your prescreening, biomedical and FINAL INTERVIEW.
PRESCREENING - Window 52
I was already inside, I was the first in the Letter C lane.. The windows were still closed.. The assistant told us to prepare the documents already BIRTH CERTIFICATE, NBI CLEARANCE, CENOMAR, MRV SLIP AND MEDICAL RECORD(BROWN ENVELOPE)..
the windows already opened and I went to the first available windows already. I greeted her good morning. She was a Filipino consul.. I gave her my DS160..
Questions:
What is your name?
Birthday?
What is your relationship to the petitioner?
Where did you meet? How?
When did the romantic relationship start?
If both of us have children?
How old are you?
How old is he?
Have you ever been to other countries?
Have you ever been to Mindanao? I said YES. She asked where?
then she took my documents, birth certificate, NBI CLEARANCE, CENOMAR and MRV slip.. I couldn't give my brown envelope because the St Luke's was the one who forwarded it to them because I had PSYCH Evaluation.
Then she gave me back my ds160 and told me to proceed to window 43 for finger scanning
FINGER SCANNING Window 43. American Consul. He was the one with a very bad temper and he yells at applicants who cannot follow instructions. 😂 But I still greeted him a very good morning and a wide smile anyway😊I silently talked to myself that I better do well here or else I'll piss him off. I kept wiping my hands with my handkerchief..
he only asked me
what is your name?
Birthday
SUDDENLY, He was giving me a tissue paper. I thought he was giving it to me to wipe my hands because I was wiping my hands in my handkerchief 😂 I wiped my hands using the tissue paper but he said NO. The finger scanner, wipe it off😂😂😂😂 Omg. *face palm*
Then he told me to place my fingers on the scanner. He kept telling me PRESS HARD. I said to myself. What? Hard?😠So I did. I pressed it hard. But he kept telling me to PRESS HARDER🤣 So I placed my other hand so I can press it waaaay harder just like what he wants😂 So it's good. Then the other hands and two thumbs. ) All good. He put a stamp on my DS160. then gave it back to me, said proceed to the interview.
FINAL INTERVIEW- WINDOW 66. A very nice American woman. ) Always smiling and we laughed together. She just seems like a friend to me. It doesn't feel like an I thought it felt like just a conversation between two friends😂 I greeted her HI, MAAM! Good morning! ) She smiled at me and greeted me good morning too and asked how I am doing. I said I'm great and I asked her back ☺ï¸
I gave her again my ds160. She took it and told me to wait
When she came back she started to ask me
What is your name?
How long you've been together?
What do you like about your fiancé?
When was the last time he visited you?
What did you do when he was here? I said we went to Baguio city, had our engagement photoshoot and then he proposed again for the 2nd time. She laughed 😂
What? Is first time not enough? I said I guess not ma'am, he wanted to propose with ring. Then I showed her my left hand where my ring is. Her smile was really wide already. :D
Do you have wedding plans? I said yes and then she asked me what plans?
Where are you going? I said Chicago Illinois
What can you say about Chicago? I just said what I remembered 😂😂 I said, there's a lake in there, Michigan Lake, Sears tower and GIANT BEAN!😂 she laughed again when she heard the giant bean😂 She said, OH YEAH, that's what I like about Chicago, too, I call it giant bean too😂. -- Now I'm regretting I forgot about the DEEP DISH PIZZA🤣
Then just checked my papers again.. Then she said I SEE NO PROBLEM, looks good.. You are approved. Then she gave me two pamphlet explained it to me.. I couldn't focus anymore, I started to cry.. then she repeated what she told me she said CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE APPROVED! WAIT FOR YOUR VISA IN 6-10 working days.. Have a nice day! 😠I thanked her so much ☺ï¸
SHE didn't take any of my fiancé's documents. Not even the form i-134 and the supporting documents! Just my documents. She didn't even asked for our pictures. )
THANK YOU, LORD! Finally! I'm done!
Ticket already booked last August 4 😂 Big risk but my fiancé had so much faith 😊 Good thing I made it! I'll finally be with him SOON 😂 :D
Tips for everyone: ALWAYS WEAR A BIG SMILE, BE POLITE AND GREET EVERYONE IN THERE. ) It will always be a great help to lighten up their moods. 😊
Pray and pray and pray 😊

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
