K1 Fiance Visa Interview Experience US Embassy Manila

A day before my interview, I checked-in at M-Hotel , 2-3mins walk away from US Embassy.
My appointment was 8:40am, I went there around 8:25am


1. I presented to the guard the Appointment Confirmation. They asked for DS-160 and put a sticker on it. Then they asked for my passport as well and put it inside a ziplock.

2. I went inside , put all my things in a tray then let it passed through the scanning / xray machine.

3. I didn't know where to go next and I just asked the staff. The lady told me to go door C and turn right.

4. Inside, the IV greeter told me to fall in line on window 55. It's the pre-screening window. I was asked for my DS160, MRV slip, PSA birth certificate, Cenomar, NBI clearance, Saudi Police Clearance, SLEC Medical Result. (brown envelop) She did some interview like the what's my name, my birthday, my fiance  name, bday, address in US, where and when did I met my Fiance. When did our romance started. When was the last time my fiance visited me. If I traveled outside Philippines.

She handed me my DS160. She told me to go window 43 (I dont know if I remembered it correctly). The staff on that window asked for my DS-160, and one US visa picture. She did some data entries and after some minutes she gave back my DS160 then I was told to go back to window55 again.

5. At window 55, she did some data entries again then she told me to proceed to window IDK, I forgot haha. It's the fingerprinting window. That was just so quick. Then once done, I went and sat on the chairs for the interview queue.

6. Interview. There's a queue ahead of me like 10persons seated and 1 applicant on each of the 5 windows. After 30mins I got my turn. The Consul asked How did I met my fiance. What kind of job he has. Which countries I've been to. He said my case is unique of all thousand cases he handled. Then, after that he gave me pieces of paper. He said , just wait for my visa for 5 business days. That's what I heard and remembered.

Gocha! APRROVED! 😍😍😍

He handed two small leaflets. One was the instructions for delivery address and the other was about Domestic violence thing.
He explained that if encounter any threat or experience domestic violence and abuse, all the details are written on that paper. The contact numbers and everything I need if I wanna seek help.

After I exited the US embassy vicinity, I immediately messaged my fiance. I told him I didn't pass the interview. 🤣🤣🤣
He was sad , and he asked me what happened. Then, when I arrived at the hotel, I video called him and told him I was just tricking  him 🤣. I said, I got approved the consul told me just wait for the visa after  3-5business days. He was relieved and was so happy, I saw it on his face. 😊. He said, "you scared me, I was so worried" 🤣🤣🤣. Oh well, haha

  1. Hey hi, I don't know if you're still active with the blog but I have a question regarding your visa issuance. My interview was done on September 14th, the case for my visa was created on the 15th. My visa status changed to "ISSUED" on the 18th. Do you know when I should expect my visa to be on hand? I selected my visa to be picked up at MOA as well. I'm asking because my fiancé already booked a flight on the 27th of September. Any answer would be much appreciated. Thank you so much.
