| Embassy Review : |
We arrived at embassy at 6:15 and stood in line for about 15 minutes. Let inside to go thru security very easy process.
Guard sat us in chairs with others for the 7am interviews, took about 30 minutes and they asked us to get in line for our #. We drew #7033 then we sat and waited.
After about 1 hour they called Elena to have her fingerprints scanned, she say they were very nice.
After about 1.5 more hours they called our # and we went in together for the interview. CO was very nice man, swore us in that we tell all truth.
Ask us a few questions each. Where and How we meet. How many visits I make to Philippines. If I was married before. Did I have any children. We asked if we could pick up visa and he said only if medical emergency or I had to leave country in next 3-5 days. And that was pretty much all, he told us we were approved and asked us to wait for name to be called to get our documents. This took about 10 more minutes then we get in line paid for Air21.
We had interview on 5/21/09 and we went to Air21 in Cebu on 5/27 and picked up our visa after they text us it leave CARGOHAUS the night before. 
All in all it was a very easy process from start to finish only took 3.5 hours.  |

*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.
