Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines Review Topic: General Review Event Description Review Date : January 26, 2018 Embassy Review : All went well after my wife demanded that the pre-screen lady pay attention to the documents and actually turn the damn first page to see the all the rest of the supporting docs. As soon as the lady did so she said oh ok I see now and moved to the next phase. If they will demand documents from you then decide to ignore them you better speak up!!!! Fingerprinting and actual interview went fine. Visa approved!! I did email the embassy 3 times to also. 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.

** Not all cases are transfered
