| Embassy Review : |
October 24, 2017 6:40am
I arrived there by 6:20am and the guard checked my Appointment Confirmation letter and my bag. Make sure no phone with you nor flash driver nor powerbank. Gave my DS-160 confirmation page and passport to the lady afterwards, she then put my passport inside a sealed plastic bag and stamped with a sticker my DS-160. Was ushered inside. Thorough screening again especially ng bag when I entered the building.
Pre-Screening (Filipino Consul Window 49)
Was asked to submit the following documents:
•DS-160
•NBI clearance
•UK police certificate
•CENOMAR
•PSA birth certificate
•MRV slip
•SLEC brown envelope
She then asked me my name and birthday, petitioner’s name, birthday and address, how long did he stay on his visits and she looked at our pictures together on my scrapbook, asked how long I stayed in England and my fiancé in Japan, told her we were both volunteers for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint in those countries. Was asked to proceed to Window 51 for my 2x2 US visa photo scanning and then went back to Window 49, she then instructed me to proceed to finger scanning for the biometrics. And then waited for about few minutes for the CO’s to open their windows for the interview. I was assigned to a Filipina consul on Window 59. She was really nice! Was just asked my name and birthday birthday, fiance’s name, birthday and address in the US, when did he visit me and for how long, and our wedding plans, so I showed her my scrap book for the details of our wedding including the invitations and wedding dress, cakes and every little stuff involving our wedding. Hehe. She then said, “Congratulations and welcome to America! If ever you’ll encounter domestic violence, I’m giving you these pamphlets so you know what to do. Expect your visa in 1 to 2 weeks.â€
I was out of the embassy by 8:10am. Tip; just relax and always smile. 🙂 |

*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
