| Embassy Review : |
My daughter (K-2) and I had our interview on August 29th. We walked the short distance from our room at the Grand Riviera and crossed the street to the USEM. We arrived a an hour earlier for our 7:15 AM appointment. When it was our turn to get in, we were instructed to be ready with our DS-160 confirmation page and were given a ziplock to put our passport in, which was to be opened on the bio page. They then labeled our DS-160 with a bar code sticker and were instructed to proceed inside.
The next stop was pre-screening where a Filipino embassy staff asked for the BC, Cenomar, NBI, SLEC medical report, BPI receipt, appointment confirmation and I-134. My fiance's I-134 already had the tax return, W2 and one-month pay stubs attached to it. The lady staff asked questions, some of which as I remember were my name, birthday, address, telephone and mobile numbers, what I do for a living, my fiance's name, birthday, address, where he works. She asked my daughter her age and birthday.
Then we were told to queue for the biometrics, where we were asked to state our name and date of birth before fingerprinting.
The long wait was for the actual interview. We were on the fourth row of the second set of 50 interviewees,.so there were like 88 people waiting to be interviewed in front of us. The atmosphere was a little bit strained and overhearing the lady consul (who I suspect was the one in counter 52 and the subject of a few discussions on here) did not help matters. I could not tell for sure how many minutes the interview lasted but I was asked how I met my fiance, when we started communicating, when I first met him, when I last saw him, how many time he has been in the country to visit. The consul gave a surprised expression when I told him my fiance visited me a total of 15 times in a period of four years.
At the end of the interview, we were advised by the American consul that he would recommend to approve our visas and gave me the pamphlets on domestic violence while explaining the rights available to us in case we experience it. Notwithstanding this positive information I got from the consul and the ISSUED status on the CEAC website the following day, I could not jump the gun and make myself update my timeline by clicking "approved". That was the worrywart in me prevailing. Anyhow, our visas came in the mail and I cannot be more relieved.
Good luck! |

*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.
