Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines
Review Topic: K1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : May 25, 2018
Embassy Review : My schedule was at 6:40am, I arrived at the consulate at around 5:45. There were some line forming already. They let us in at 6.

The process went by smoothly. Was talking to the Filipino officer by 6:40. She asked more questions than the American consul. She asked about my fiancee, where she works, where she lives, when we met, how long we were dating before we got engaged. She also asked about the addresses I listed in the DS-160 (I wrote down my uncle's address, and she asked why I didn't write down my fiancee's address; I just said we were looking at places to move into when I get there, so in the meantime I'll be staying with my uncle). She checked my papers and kept them, giving my DS-160 back to me.

One thing to note: Bring your visa payment receipt, the one that was issued by the bank when you paid for the visa fee. I didn't see this a lot in the guides I checked online. The Filipino officer asked for this.

After a few more questions, about the state we were going to live in, etc, she asked me to go to fingerprint scanning. That went by smoothly, the guy there was cheerful and made small talk after asking for my name and birthday, and where my fiancee and I plan to live.

The wait for the interview was a little bit longer than the wait for the Filipino officer. At around 7:30 they started opening the booths for the final interview with the American officer. When it was my turn, the consul asked me my name and birthday, my fiancee's name and birthday. He also asked if I knew her siblings, so I enumerated them. The officer also asked how long my fiancee stayed here. He asked for some pictures of us together. After that, he gave me some pamphlets and congratulated me, our visa was approved. I was out of the embassy by 8:15am.

I suggest scheduling for the earliest available time, and lining up early. Delays are usually caused by people ahead of you who have missing documents, who have children with them, and the like. The process gets slowed down by people in front of you, so if you're early, there are less chances of that happening.

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
