Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : August 22, 2016 Embassy Review : Everything went well. Just be yourself, dress up properly and be honest. They didnt ask me for the Affidavit of Support Anymore. I am wondering why. I asked the CO if they dont need the Form I-134 but he said. He doesnt need it anymore at this moment. Also, He didnt asked me about the proof of relationship. It didnt took long. The interview just took like 5 to 10 minutes only. Good Luck Guys. 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.

** Not all cases are transfered
