Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : July 1, 2022 Embassy Review : Interview questions -- * When and where did you and your petitioner meet? * When did you get married? * Where do you plan to move? (I gave the state where my spouse resides.) * Have you or your petitioner ever been married previously? (My spouse had been married once before we met.) > How did that marriage end? > Do you have any document to show that? (I presented a copy of my spouse's final divorce decree. I had uploaded a scan to CEAC, but the document screener did not ask for the paper copy, so the CO asked for it.) * Have you ever lived in another country? (I said that I traveled abroad for business trips and asked for clarification if that's what they're asking, so the CO rephrased.) > Have you ever lived or worked in another country for more than 6 months at a time? Notes -- * I arrived at the embassy around an hour before my appointment time, but the gatekeeper let me in immediately without having to line up or wait outside. * The consulate staff were patient with me and other applicants who had trouble with fingerprint capture. * Applicants who did not upload scans of the required civil documents to CEAC were asked to scan and upload the missing documents before they could be allowed to proceed with the CO interview. * I retained my maiden name on my passport. The consulate staff did not question me about it. * I presented a CENOMAR, instead of a CEMAR (Advisory on Marriage). The consulate staff were also fine with it. Rating : Very Good

POE Review: Dallas Event Description Entry Date : 2021-11-21 Embassy Review : The usher at airport immigration guided travelers to 1 of 3 lines: no visa, with visa, and Global Entry. I said I had an immigrant visa so I was told to go to the visa line. At the CBP counter, the officer didn't ask any question and didn't ask for my passport immediately. I just had to stand a certain distance in front of the camera, then they used facial recognition technology to look up my record. After seeing my info on the monitor, the officer gestured for my passport, which I handed to him opened at the page with my IR1 visa. When he saw my visa, he told me to follow him to secondary inspection. Then he told me to take a seat at the waiting area until another officer calls me. After around 5 minutes, I was called to the counter at the waiting area and given my passport back (I checked later that it had the CBP admission stamp near my visa). The officer just said, "That's it", and directed me to the exit. No questions at all at any point during the POE inspection process. (updated on February 24, 2022) Harassment Level : Low

*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.
