Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines Review Topic: General Review Event Description Review Date : October 25, 2018 Embassy Review : I flew to Manila to attend the U.S. Embassy Interview with Rowell. His interview time was at 6:40 am so we arrived at the Embassy at 5:30am and there was already a line of over 100 people waiting outside. We paid 30 pesos each for two chairs to sit in while we were waiting. We also paid 20 pesos for a ballpoint pen just in case we needed it (we didn't). At around 6 am the guards came out and we started to go in. Rowell needed to show his appointment confirmation letter and the DS-160 confirmation just to get in the door. There were 3 steps once we were inside: 1. Prescreening, 2. Fingerprinting, 3. Interview. During the prescreening, they asked to see his DS-160 confirmation, birth certificate, CENOMAR, and NBI clearance. They also wanted the sealed medical results from St. Luke's. After prescreening, we did the fingerprinting, then waiting in another line to be called for the interview. The interview went smoothly and Rowell was asked about 10 questions about our relationship, and then the consular agent said he was approved! We left the Embassy around 9am. I felt like the fact I was able to go to the Embassy with him made a difference in how smoothly everything went. Oh and they said he should receive his passport with the visa in 5-10 working days.

*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.
