Interview was easy. It was a matter of proving that we were indeed a couple. We brought our mortgage document, documentation that he is the benefactor of my life insurance and TSP (retirement account for government employees), dental and health insurance cards, joint savings account, photos of our trips in the US and Philippines (he used his AP before our interview), marriage documents, photos of us with my and his family and a copy of our I-864. The interviewer mostly asked my spouse questions about his life, our wedding, what I do and where I work, how much I make and made last year, if we were filing our taxes together, why he wasn’t working at that time, what my family’s and his family’s reactions about getting married (we are a same-sex couple), if we had problems communicating (I grew up in the Philippines so Tagalog was not a problem for me and he stressed we were the same age so and have a lot in common) and if we were related (we have the same last name). The interview was about 20 mins and if my spouse didn’t know the answer to a question, the interviewer would ask me to explain instead. At the end of the interview, the interviewer congratulated us and my spouse got his GC after a week. |

| Embassy Review : |
My fiancé arrived at 6:30am at the US Embassy-Manila as his appointment was at 7:10am. At the prescreening, he was asked for the documents he brought (especially my Cenomar, as I am a naturalized US citizen). When he was interviewed by a female CO who my fiancé said was really nice and she only asked him how we met, what I do for work, which countries he visited, and when he plans to leave for the US. The CO typed something on her computer then he was given 2 pieces of white paper and said “Congratulations, you’re approved!†Overall, he said the interview went really well. |

*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.
