| Embassy Review : |
The interview was scheduled AM. Wife appeared 5am at US Embassy and was finished with the entire process by 2PM the same day. The consul officer (female) was very polite but never indicated a problem with documentation and instructed us to pay delbros after 2 minutes of a few questions and taking a quick glance at supporting evidence offered of previous communications, email, postal cards, ect ect.
After submitting delbros fee and beleiving we were approved it was then that my wife was advised that our case was put in Administrative Review for a document check and we were told to wait 4 to 6 weeks for the embassy to mail her a new apointment date. Wife was persistent with consul workers and found that we could obtain additional copies directly from NSO Quezon city and hand deliver to consul window in an attempt to speed up our AR timeline. Wife obtained additional copies of mc and bc and provided to us embassy the very next day. We remained in AR for only 3 weeks before receiving visa from delbros.
Embassy is not very efficient and truthful when giving updates by phone. Truthfully this embassy is a real pain to deal with and looking for answers to questions will only get you the standard canned responses. The embassy could not even tell us if and when the visa was released, we found out by watching our case number plus 01 at the delbros website.
I was relieved to be finished dealing with this embassy and be on our way. |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
