Has anyone done a CR1 or IR1 in Manila and if so, what kind of success did you have?

Our CR1 is in the NVC now, made it through the USCIS without any issues (besides taking forever). You can see my timeline for more info and watch it as we move along. :)

Let me show you how to get your tax returns the easy way

aussiewench's thread for kicking butt in the NVC ('cause i'm too lazy to keep looking it up - haha)

Our DS-3032 email to the NVC

02 Jan 2006 - Married

...----===::: CR-1 :::===---...

22 May 2006 - Case # Assigned @ NVC

14 Jul 2006 - DS-230 Package Received by USC

We stopped pursuit of CR-1 to pursue K3/AOS. For us, both required the same document, we could only have one valid copy, and the K3 was moving faster.

See profile for the details up to and in between the events listed here.

...---===::: K3 :::===---...

17 May 2006 - Date NVC says petition shipped to embassy

18 May 2006 - Case # Assigned @ NVC

01 Jul 2006 - Packet "3" received from embassy

18 Jul 2006 - Medical

21 Sept 2006 - K3 Interview Date (APPROVED)

27 Sept 2006 - Received Visa

06 Oct 2006 - Arrives in the USA! Finally home together. :)

(Truncated timeline - sig too long. See profile for all details.)

Thanks for the responses. I have a friend living in the Philippines and would like to come back to the U.S. at least for a couple of years so wants to file for his wife and adopted son. I assume the CR/IR path would be the correct way for him to go. I don't know if Manila does DCF or not.
