Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : December 9, 2020 Embassy Review : Appointment was at 7:30 am and we were let in around 7:00. The guard asked for passport and DS260 confirmation page before letting us through. All personnel were polite and courteous. Social distancing is observed. First step was the pre-screening, where all civil documents are to be submitted and checked, took about 15 minutes. Fingerprint scanning is second, fast. Last was the interview, was asked to take off mask and face shield. The CO asked the basics, who's the petitioner, name, birthdays, wedding date, how did we meet, and a few more. While asking questions, he looked over the original files that was just submitted while checking the CEAC portal (I assume, as he looks like he is double checking my answer to the documents on hand, and to the one on the screen). Then he handed me the paper with information on domestic violence, telling me to call if needed and that it will not affect my immigration status. He then asked about my husband's previous marriages. Then he said, "it seems like I don't need anymore documents from you, i'll be recommending visa approval..." He told me to get a piece of paper and reminded me to register my delivery address. I said thank you and finally was able to breathe properly, hahaha... Overall it was a pleasant experience. Done before 9:00 am. Rating : 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
