Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines Review Topic: General Review Event Description Review Date : November 11, 2015 Embassy Review : They have a great system in place to process you through. Soon as we arrived at 5 am we had direction as to where to wait or sit if you choose to pay a small fee for a seat. Really getting there early does not matter. Applicants with children get first priority.they will enter first. Once the line forms form, have your DS-260 and appointment letter along with your passport ready to display. Your DS-260 is crucial through out the entire process.Once you have gone through security, you will enter the embassy process are there are employees to guide you to the right waiting area, Step1. Fingerprinting is first where you will produce your Ds-260. Once completed you will directed to Step 2 waiting area. Here you will give them the the required documents along with the DS-260.They asked us a few questions about our relationship also asked to see our photos. When completed we wer directed to step3 waiting area. Here is you take the oath along with producing the DS-260. Then after completing you are directed to Step 4 Interview. This was brief, asked a few basic questions , work, kids where she was going to live ect ect. The interviewer informed us we were approved and proceed to Step 5.Here we were released and given the information for 2GO which delivers your passport. Total process time, 3 hours. 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.
