| Embassy Review : |
Our experience at the US Embassy in Manila was pleasant and successful!
My fiancée kong maganda Wennie and I arrived at the embassy around 5am for a 7:30 appointment. Probably too early but just wanted to make the most of the experience. It was awesome, I really enjoyed talking with and observing all the vendors outside the embassy in the queuing area.
They are funny, entertaining and enterprising! They have a few plastic chairs set up..but it will cost you 20 php to rent..hahaha. The best part is that as it gets later in the morning, the price goes up! But on to 30 to 40 php.. Another cleaver service the vendors were providing was that they would hold in very safe keeping you cell phone, for other than US passport holders, you cannot bring you cell phone in the embassy. So these folks will hold it safe and sound for you until you finish you interview for a cool 150 php.
Both the Filipino and US staff we encountered were very nice and accommodating. It really helps if you have all you papers in order. In our experience, the biggest item they look at is the Affidavit of Support and supporting financial documents. Then relationship and personal questions about your honey. I was told not to speak during the interview or help answer any questions, which I was, for the most part with the exception of a laugh!
It was a great experience and we will cherish it forever…so relax and enjoy the ride!
Just waiting for the delivery of Wennie’s passport, the word is it can take two weeks or so to secure your passport.. We will be together soon…It was all worth it!!
Cheers,
Mark and Wennie

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
