The Interview part is the hardest part when getting a US visa. You will be interviewed by the US consul. If you pass the interview, you will be allowed to go to the US, but if not, you are not allowed to enter the country. Many Filipinos failed to pass the interview that’s why they weren’t able to go to the US because US consuls are very strict when it comes to an interview for getting a US visa.
