| Embassy Review : |
We have been reading reviews of the Manila embassy interview process fo awhile now, and the steps that my wife took were the same ... lineup outside the embassy, file in and get a number, fingerprints, etc.
The one difference in procedures from the reviews from the past is that after she was interviewed by the U.S. consular officer, she was asked to sit down and wait again for her number to show up on the tele screen. She went to a second consular officer window, where additional questions were asked of her before she was approved and sent to the final window for the delivery of her passport and visa to be set up. This may be a new procedure or it may have been additional scrutiny of our case, I do not know which.
She got into line outside the embassy at 430am andwas on her way back to the hotel at 1020am.
My wife asked for an interpreter for her interview with the U.S. consular officer to ensure that she did not misunderstand any of the questions asked by them. When she was asked how she communicates with me, she told them that I speak more slowly and repeat words sometimes and since she is not fluent in english, she wanted to make sure that she did not misunderstand any of their questions.
Questions (not in order):
Where did you meet?
When did you first meet in person?
When was the last time your husband was here?
When were you married?
May I see pictures of the wedding?
What is the name of your husband's ex-wife?
What is your husband's job?
How many children does your husband have? What are their names?
What do you plan to do in the U.S.?
Do you have your husband's 2013 income tax return?
My wife had a big file of documents, receipts, my boarding passes, chat logs, copies of documents, etc. Even though they did not ask for them, her level of nervousness was greatly reduced because she had them available; a very good way to keep worry and nervousness to a minimum. |

*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.
