The noticed for interview finally came in our mail after ages of waiting and I’m never been so nervous. But anyways,the interview was scheduled in a month so we still have plenty of time to prepare. So my husband and I prepared some possible questions and reviewed it every weekends. We also gathered tones of supporting documents like joint bank account, car insurance , apartment lease etc.. etc. we have so many documents that we thought of renting a UHaul 😜..the day came and we arrived an hour earlier for our 2:25 pm appointment. At 2:15 an IO called my name as well as my husband. So we sat in his office. He asked me questions to confirm what I wrote in my application like name, birthday , address etc. then he asked my husband where and when we meet. It’s basically an easy interview. After that he explained about green card and ROC and etc. I thought we’re approved 😩. He checked my papers again and asked me if I undergo trainings on weapon. I said yes since I’m a former police officer before I moved to the US. Now he asked me more questions about my former job and I started to get worried. He then asked what documents we have to prove our bonafide relationship so I hand him my tons of documents. He said he can’t approve us coz they have to do further investigation... we’re so devastated that I cried on the way home. I really thought we’ll nail the interview. So my husband thought that maybe my being an ex cop was the issue.. so we figured out that they’ll do more BI on me. The following day, my case status changed to “new card being produced†and I was like.. what? And that’s the happy ending of my story |

My interview was scheduled for 8:30 am. I got there around 7:30ish and joined the queue outside. I’m not expecting to be let in as I was way too early but fortunately they let me in. Went to 2nd floor to check in and directed to proceed to the waiting room in the 3rd floor. By 7:50 my name was called. IO mentioned that she’s aware im early for my appointment and asked if I’m ready or I need more time. Of course I’m ready. She asked if I came alone and I told her yes and that my husband is at home with our son. She asked for my passport, drivers license and green card. I asked if she needs more docs from me as I have thick stack of papers/docs in my purse. She said she have all the papers that she needs in my file. We then went straight to business . I got all the questions correct . She then asked me if I need to rush home or I have time to wait for my oath that morning ðŸ˜. I had my oath at 10. |

| Embassy Review : |
i stayed in a hotel that's so close to US embassy in Manila. A day before my much awaited interview, i checked the place, which way to go and wait and other things for me to familiarize the area. 6:45 AM was my scheduled time so i was there 6:00. Numerous people already gathered in the waiting area. at exactly 6:45, a Filipino embassy staff called out those who are scheduled for 6:45 and i'm quick enough to be 5th in line. She ushered us in the first gate for double checking of appointment letter and their list. Soon enough i'm already inside. I'm nervous, excited and sweating in the cold US embassy. First step was a nice Filipino staff that check my papers (CENOMAR, NBI clearance etc..) Next was an American staff for finger printing. I'm so nervous that i felt like i gonna collapse anytime LOL..After e few review in my papers and obviously saw my birth date, he joked that he felt bad that he's not invited in my birthday 2 days earlier. That made me relax a bit. I always visualized that embassy staff are stern and serious and smiling is a BIG NO!!! But i was wrong. Now the last and final window. In front of me was an old lady that needs an interpreter so i'm sure it'll take a while for them to finish her interview. i'm glad i can breath a bit before facing the final judgement LOL, but suddenly one of the window opened and the usher told me to go. The gentleman review my papers and typing in his computer. (Man, i've been preparing this interview for like 2 months and i can memorized every detail of our relationship even the time when we first said "hi" with each other including my fiance's entire family names and birthdays including his car plate number....Now everything is playing in my brain but i'm not prepared enough for his question). "So Miss *****, tell me something about Mr. **** that isn't written here in your application. I was like ..wow.. i stammered at first but i answered his question from the bottom of my heart and sure enough, he congratulated me and told me to wait for my visa after 7-10 working days.. I'm felt awesome and want to shout but i didn't. He might change his mind and denied me LOL...The whole process was gruelling but worth it..by 7:30, i was back in the hotel and called my fiance and told him the good news . The US embassy in Manila is very organize and fast. |

Timeline Comments: 2what time was your interview @ SFO uscis office and what time did you get the oath ceremony?

*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.
