Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines
Review Topic: K1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : December 20, 2018
Embassy Review : My fiancee's scheduled interview appointment was at 0710. She arrived at the embassy around 0615. I was told that the time she spent falling in line was longer than the interview itself. We were asked how we met, last time we saw each other, et al. We bonded through travel. We met 3x within the past 12months and traveled to 6 different countries. Prior to that, she traveled extensively in South East Asia and in the UK before we met. The consul focused on his questions about her solo travels. At the end of the interview, the consul asked for printed most recent conversations as proof of an ongoing relationship, which we didn't have at the moment. We focused too much on the financial documents and completely neglected the basic ones (chats, call logs, cards). The consul gave her a letter stating that she needs to submit the additional documents, which we did that same day through the 2GO courier, free of charge. Now, our case is currently on ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING.

**We are a same sex couple, btw.
Rating : Very Good


Local US CIS Office Review: Manchester NH
Review Topic: cis_topic
Event Description
Review Date : December 9, 2019
Embassy Review : Manchester FO is very efficient. Overall AOS process took about 5 months more or less from the time we filed.

We were scheduled for 8:10am and we arrived at 7:30am. We had to wait in the parking lot and wait for the doors to open. Security was very cheerful and polite. Mobile phones are allowed but needs to be screened separately.

Interview was on the second floor. The whole place was empty. Aside from another couple who was there for biometrics appointment, no one else was there aside from employees. We waited in the seating area for about 10 mins then the IO came out and introduced himself. We were interviewed separately, the petitioner first then beneficiary.

Each interview lasted for about 15 mins. Oath then he asked for the basic information found on the forms. IO was friendly and very kind, even jokes around. It was a very light and easy conversation. Only the standard yes/no questions took time.

The officer only asked for lease agreement, joint account statement, insurance policies and kept the copy. He never even looked at our pictures. We had five thick folders of documents with us.

After the beneficiary interview, he called back my wife (petitioner) and told us he was approving our application. We will receive the greencard in 1-3 weeks.

We were out of the field office by 9am and case status was updated to approved when we got home.
Harassment Level : 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
