Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : September 25, 2008 Embassy Review : The interview was extremely unprofessional. The petitioner was not allowed in the room and the Consular Officer (CO) did not ask questions but instead made judgmental statements, derogatory remarks and disrespectful comments. The interview (if you want to call it that lasted only about nine minutes). The results were that they gave the applicant's passport back with directions to provide evidence of the petitioner's U.S. Domicile (which was already verified by USCIS). The petitioner immediately provided the requested proof but the clerk didn't want to accept it and said come back the next day! The Petitioner TOLD her to take the documents to a supervisor. After some further "games" the Petitioner DEMANDED to see a supervisor and after a talk with the supervisor the domicile issue was supposedly resolved. They took the applicant's passport and said pay the visa fee. Since then we have been lied to and avoided by the US Embassy Consular Section every time we called we have filed a formal complaint with the petitioner's US Senator. We continue to wait! The interview was NOT a happy experience! Rating : Very Poor

*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.
