Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines

| Embassy Review : |
In my wife's words:
I went to the embassy at 6am but was not allowed to enter yet so I went to Chowking first to eat. Then I went back to the embassy afterwards and we were in at 7:10am. I submitted everything for x-ray inspection, and was told to sit down. It was already 8:20 when we were called to line in the ticket booth for our number, and then back to our seats. I met some new friends there. My number flashed at 9:40 for pre-screening. The screener was a very nice Filipina; she spoke to me in Tagalog. She asked, what my name is, who is my petitioner, is this my first marriage, and how many marriages you had before me. She was looking at all the papers you submitted to the embassy while asking me questions. She asked for my new birth certificate too. She asked how did we met and when, when was the first time we met in person, when did we marry. She listed down all the answers I gave her including the marriage termination dates. (She just looked up the date in the papers though, I knew the date but she didn’t bother to ask.) She asked who is Donna [my mother]. And then she asked if we have pictures together. I showed her the scrapbook first; she opened the first page and looked at it. She didn’t bother to look at any other pages or the other albums. She asked if I have copies of emails too, remittances and chats, I said yes to all, but she didn’t ask me to show it. Then she said, ok everything is ok, you can go back to your seat now and wait for your name to be called for finger scanning and then final interview.
Finger scanning was at 10:30, final interview at 11:40. The final interviewer was a young American woman. She was very nice too. She asked me which language I am comfortable to speak with her, I said either way so she used English. She asked me what’s my full name, date of birth, and who is my petitioner. She looked at my papers again and read what the Filipina lady listed down there. She asked me too our date of marriage, what’s your job, if u have kid from previous marriage and how many. She asked me too who you are living with. She asked me too if I’d been to the U.S. before or to another country.
And then she signed the papers and stamped it with “visa approved.” She thanked me for my patience.

*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.
