| Comments : |
My wife said the interview was very smooth. They asked only about five simple questions. She was approved. For those checking time lines we had several paperwork delays. Lost daughter's BC, NBI with wrong date, and a BC that could not be read. So I think we could have completed the process about 2 months earlier. |

| Embassy Review : |
Arrived at embassy at 5:30 am they allowed her in at 6:00 am. She had her appointment letter and used her NBI as ID. By the way there was a service there that allows her to leave her cell phone for $150p.
Not sure of the times but process progressed as follows:
Went inside and received a number, when number was called she was finger printed and returned to her seat.
After about 20 min she was called for pre screening ( she called it Philippine interview) the inverviewer who was a Filipina had her sign the her ds 230 and asked;
What is your name?
Name of your petitioner?
What does he do for work?
Where does he live in the US?
How did you meet?
When did you last see him in person?
She ask for phone records, chat logs, western union receipts, and photos. All this took about a 15 min
Returned to her seat to wait her name to be called. Wait maybe 45 min and her name was called for the interview. The CO was a woman who was very friendly she asked same questions as pre screener:
What is your name?
Name of your petitioner?
What does he do for work?
Where does he live in the US?
How did you meet?
When did you last see him in person?
Looked at the pictures then said the magic words your visa is approved !!!!!!!!
Entire interview was less than 5 min.
Then waited for what seemed like a long time . Her name was called she was given back her photos and a pink slip with her tracking number.
Called me to give me the news at 10:10 a.m.

*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.
