Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : June 21, 2011 Embassy Review : So, I had my interview June 21st. I was in the embassy at 5:50am but my appointment is at 6:25am. Before I get in I prepared my appointment letter, medical and passport. Gadgets are not allowed to bring inside the embassy. They will not let you in. After getting my number i dropped my appointment letter on window 39 and wait for my number to flash on the screen for my initial interview. (The queuing board numbers are not called in strict numerical order so you should be sooo patient.) after more than 2 hours of waiting, my number flashed on the screen for my initial interview and the interviewer is a filipino and he is very strict. These are the questions asked: 1. name of the petitioner 2. asked for wedding pictures (he wanted a pic with the priest) 3. asked for my CENOMAR (good thing I have a copy of it) 4. evidence that my husband visited me so i showed him all of his ticket 5. my medical copy 6. Where we met 7. When was the first time we started our conversation/chat 8. why we got married so soon 9. if I've been to other country, what did i do there and how long did i stayed 10. if my husband is sending me money and asked for the receipts 11. my age 12. how many times i got married after that I went to other window for finger scanning then the final interview. An American CO was my interviewer and he is very nice. My final interview went great. He just asked few like: *What is the work of my husband *Where does he works *asked for the date of our marriage Then he said okay, your visa is approved and I believe you will have fun with your husband in the United States. yahooooo! javascript:emoticon('') Rating : Very Good

*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.
