Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : May 8, 2012 Embassy Review : My fiance had her interview on Apr. 24, 2012. She got there around 5 AM. She dress in a nice blouse and slacks with nice shoes. Her mother joined her for company. She had to redo her passport photos again because her eyes were not shown in the previous one. She organized all the evidence I sent her into clear sheet and binder to show the consuler at the window. She just asked some basic questions about me and what I did. Not to many questions about my family. Her english is not very good so the Filipino consular stay with the American consular to help translate. They asked her were to send the passport after approval. She did a 221g because she need to correct a mistake on her CENOMAR and NBI travel clearance. She need a CENOMAR for herself and one of the children. The embassy recieve the the new CENOMAR on May 7th and next week she will have to got pick up her new NBI travel clearance. Other than those 3 things the interview went well and should have her visa in about a month or less! Rating : 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.
