Hello everyone,

I just spent an hour going thru timelines for CR1/IR1. It seems like people from Philippines are getting approval of I-130 super fast comparing to other nationalities? How come? Even the whole process seems to be much faster. I am just curious as I have been trying to understand the whole process, looking into all kinds of information, checking forums etc.

Thanks.

Have a wonderful day y'all :)

It seems the positive relationship with the US and the Philippines has contributed to that.

The fastest CR1 cases I have seen recently were from Italy and Georgia. They pretty much got and will get the CR1 close to 5 months, which is super super super fast.

when I had the process I was still within the memo where they expedite the cases due to the typhoon Yolanda. I haven't really been active on here, but that was the reason for the fast process I got.. :)

Thanks for this comment. :] At least I learn some new information/thing every day, regardless of what it is about.

I will never understand this. Especially as Canada seems like one of the slowest consulates

It's probably Terence and Philip's fault! :lol:

Have a wonderful day y'all :)

Humanitarian reasons due t the typhoons that hit not once but twice and have destroyed many areas. So most petitions with someone from Philippines get auto expedited. And rightly so.

I doubt very seriously it's some friendly conspiracy or "we like them better" If that was the case why is Philippines the only country that has a 25 year wait to bring a brother or sister to US? js
