The process is very straightforward, however there are a few things that are influenced by the human element involved.
I was told that the medical was easy and very efficient. My fiancee had no trouble and was not made to feel uncomfortable during this part of the process like we had heard in past accounts.
The interview is a completely diffeent story. Alot of confusion and seemly chaos. Instructions were not made clear and impatientance seemed the flavor of the day.
After is was all said and done, it has just come to our attention that additional doc's are needed to complete the process. Nothing was mentioned during the interview about this. Only the opposite can be said. My fiancee was told to expect delivery of the visa in 7 to 10 business days later. That she was approved and could get ready to travel as soon as the visa arived to her home. 30 days have been lost waiting patiently and now we go back to the embassy to try to resol... read complete review

I came for my interview prepared and thinking that I will get an instant approval for my k3 visa. I was wrong. My case was put on admin. review like most of other applicants. At first, I was very upset about it, but then after hearing other applicants' experiences, I felt better because at least I was treated a whole lot better than they are. The consulate is very strict and always go by the book when it comes to issueing visas to filipinos. It sends red flag if an applicant has money on the bank and single and applying for a tourist visa, "potential over-staying alien", if the applicant hardly speaks english, came from a far-flung village and is marrying an old USC, "mail-order bride, if she speaks a little english, and worked as a GRO in the red light district, "marriage for convenience". Sadly, but these happen, not to mention arranged marriages, one relative living in US would find a guy for her niece or sister to marry and pay the guy once she comes here. I cannot really blame ... read complete review
