Member Reviews:

Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : January 13, 2025 Embassy Review : My wife said that the counsel was very nice and joked and laughed with her and her son. She said the overall experience was quite pleasant. She got the dreaded Window 68 for her interview and was quite nervous about it but when the counsel started joking around, it put her at ease. 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
