Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : December 13, 2018 Embassy Review : I (US Citizen), filed I-129F in April 2018; received notice in November 2018. On December 13, 2018 my fiance went for her interview. The interviewer asked the following questions: How old we both were. Whether either of us had ever been married. First time I (US Citizen) visited the Philippines. Where did we go on that first visit. When I (US Citizen) had last visited the Philippines. Asked what my fiance liked about me. I sent my fiance the following documents to be able to provide to the interviewer: Form I-134, Form I-797, List of my stocks & bonds, Copy of my 401(k) value, Copy of HSA value, Statement from an officer of my bank, Account Transaction Detail Report, Personal Savings Statement for 9 Months, Copy of Standard Checking Statement for 9 Months, Instructions for Employer Verification with a Salary Key, Employment Data Report, My 2017 W2, A new Letter of Intent to Marry, and my 2017 IRS Transcripts. My fiance also brought all of our letters, photos, etc. None of the above did the interviewer ask to see. Rating : Very Good

Timeline Comments: 20



*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
