Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines
Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : November 19, 2020
Embassy Review : Process was quick and seamless. In and out in less than 1 hour.

Pre-screening: I was requested to submit original/certified copies of our marriage certificate, my birth certificate and my NBI Clearance. I was also asked to present a photocopy of my husband's W-2 (thankfully, I have this on file! I didn't expect that they'll ask for this one bec we already uploaded tax returns and IRS transcripts to CEAC). I wasn't asked to present CEMAR.

Interview: Questions were straightforward. How I met my husband; how many times we visited each other; any previous marriages; any kids; I was asked how many times I've been to the US before - did I overstay at any time, longest length of visit (in my case, it was just around 1 month and this was many years ago before I met my husband); I was asked to enumerate all the other countries I've visited (I love traveling so this took a while); Lastly, the consular officer asked what I intend to do for work once in the US. He then said he'll recommend the approval of my visa application.

Note: After the interview, I checked my CEAC status and found that it changed from READY to REFUSED! I was in a state of panic, but after some online research, I learned that this was normal (unless of course you were told at the interview that your application is denied or requires further review). Status is REFUSED until visa is actually issued. 2 working days later, my case status changed from REFUSED to ISSUED, and my passport was delivered 1.5 weeks from interview date (no email/text message re delivery, it was just delivered - so make sure you're home or leave an authorization letter).
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
