USCIS Phase - I was an annoying punk to USCIS in every medium possible. Emailing random employees, social media twitter facebook employees would comment on their own photos being posted on those mediums and i would shame them.. yea..it helped grease the wheels. NVC Phase - Just paid and ready to upload - It should allow pre-uploads, but whatever the gov't is slow to adopt efficiencies. Processing Estimates/Stats : Your I-130 was approved in 180 days from your NOA1 date. Your interview took 263 days from your I-130 NOA1 date.

Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : October 22, 2019 Embassy Review : She arrived at 6AM with 7 people ahead of her in line. The times were called for 645AM to go inside around this happened at 630AM Passport was put inside ziplocs and asked to present the DS-260. Ushered inside to the security check point. She proceeded to the interview area. IV greeter asked to prepare all original documents with the passport. Another 5-10 mins of wait. She was called to the prescreener with the filipino to check all documents IV greeter returned gathered the passport and 2x2 photos and ds-260 She gave it to a person at window 38.. She was called back to the prescreener to review the paperwork once again. Immediately after that she was electronic finger printed by the american lady. She was asked to sit down once again because my wife's case was still inside the lock box. She came back about 5 mins and redid the finger prints once she had the case file on hand. My wife waited 10 mins to be called for the interview. She was the 3rd person called and She was the first person with that particular interviewing officer. The follow questions were asked: Where did we meet? Follow up on previous question: What were you doing there? When was the wedding date? When did we meet? When did you start to date? How long were you in the United States? When was the last time you saw each other? What does the spouse do for a living? Has the spouse been married before? Why did they get divorced? Do we have kids together? Do I have kids? What is his favorite movie? What are his hobbies? Who lives with your husband? What are your plans when you immigrate? She was told she was approved. Rating : Very Good

POE Review: JFK Event Description Entry Date : 2019-11-12 Embassy Review : My wife came in hours late after a delay in China. That she had to get on a different flight, but it was out of our hands. The first flight out of Philippines was extremely delayed. It worked out to her advantage and got an entire middle row to herself. At the POE JFK she had no issues went through pretty quickly. I do warn that it seems like those that do go through JFK will wait their full 120+ days for their Green Card. I am not sure why, but it's a reoccuring observation on the forums. Harassment Level : Low

*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
