Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : April 17, 2009 Embassy Review : The interview went very smoothly and fast. The CO was a very good looking young man. (Window 28) Questions asked: 1. When is your birthday? 2. When did you get married? 3. How I met my husband? 4. Did we travel abroad and where? 5. When did he become US Citizen 6. Why my husband changed profession? 7. Does he have friends in US? Then that's it! He apologized that it took a while to process our application. He said that my visa is approved and that he wishes us good luck in our new life in US! Tips: 1. Pray before leaving your house going to embassy. 2. Do not bring any electronic device (cellphones, ipod, etc.). You cannot enter the embassy with those stuffs. No deposits anymore. 3. Be there early. My appointment is 8:30 and I was there 6:15. I got the stub (for queue) number early and I was just in time for my appointment. 4. Smile and be courteous to all. 5. Answer all the questions confidently and honestly. Good luck in your interview! God bless! Rating : Very Good

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
