On my wife's Visa, it says Manila.

What do I put for the part "Consulate where visa was issued?"

Do I put Philippines or U.S.A?

Who issues the Visa? I'm asking because it says United States on the boarders of the Visa.

The consulate is Manila, Philippines.

(A country does not have consulates in their own country. A consulate is a government office in a foreign country.)

A country issues visas. So, "USA" would be correct for which country issued the visa.

Thank you Dave! Looks like I should change it back to USA.

Did you put USA as well?

My intial reply was correct. They want to know what country the us Consulate was "located" in. It is Philippines. The US Embassy in the Philippines. If the answer were USA then everyone who answered that question on I-485 would be putting USA and the USCIS would not have to ask the question to begin with .

The question is, "Consulate Where Visa Was Issued" The answer is Manila, Philippines.

There are no US consulates in the USA. Visas are issued abroad, not within the US.

See the example form here on VJ. The example shows someone from Australia filling out the form > http://www.visajourney.com/examples/INS-Form-I-485.pdf

I appreciate the answers everyone!

So it seems that both answers are correct. I suppose I'll change it now to Philippines.

Do I write Manila or Manila Philippines on the form?

Thank you again for the help everyone.
