K-1 Fiance Visa I-129F VIDEO process per US Embassy in Manila

[JimJesDuma 472]

Video below is coming from the embassy in Manila but much of the info applies to all the consulates.

https://ph.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/fiancee-visa/

They mention in the video 8,000 fiancee visa's issued from Manila alone that is 666 per month on average.

Video posted in May of 2015

Notice beginning says 5-6 months for I-129F approval just like the USCIS CSC timeline chart.

Gives them lots of leeway.

Last I check it was taking about 15 to 30 days, that was couple years ago.

Yes, it a madhouse there now getting a fiance/marriage visa.

Long gone are the days when you went into a room and did the visa interview, they churn and burn them now. You do the interview out in public just like talking to a bank teller.

I bet they do more than alot more K1 than that, I used to walk by the USEM every morning and chat to some people in line. Now of days the CO ask aobut 3 to 5 quesitons and you are approved, it like an assembly line
