Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : April 3, 2006 Embassy Review : Worried about the interview for months naturally 6 minutes flat green sticker said approved. She attended the interview alone. Aff of support most important document. Easy interview. Delbros delivered the visa in 6 days total to a Manila address. Rating : Very Good

Local US CIS Office Review: Chicago IL Review Topic: cis_topic Event Description Review Date : September 4, 2006 Embassy Review : The interview was easy. Just asked for State ID's and Emma's passport. The FBI Name check was late so said we have to wait up to a month for the greencard but the interview was a success otherwise. Interview was nice, didn't look at anything we brought. Just what we had submitted in the orginal aos packet we sent. The Hilton is nice but $270 a night. We stayed one night only. The Hotel was in walking distance. Too worried to enjoy the city really. Took the Metra because I was worried about traffic. $10 each way for the both of us. Can't drive any cheeper and it was great. I live downstate and Chi traffic scares me smile. Overall the process is easy. We had things well planned. Found the office the day before and just walked to our 7:45 interview time. We expect our greencard anytime. Emma just received her EDA last week, so she is looking for a job. Steve Harassment Level : 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.
