Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines
Review Topic: K1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : March 24, 2009
Embassy Review : Both the petitioner and the beneficiary were present. We arrived at about 07:00 for a 07:30 appointment. Registration was smooth, and she got her finger scanning done quickly. Not long after, we talked to the pre-screener and presented our evidence.

For the actual interview, they call a person to wait outside each room, while the officer is conducting the prior interview. In our case, the person ahead of us had a very long interview. It was frustrating to sit there waiting, while people cycled through the other rooms. I think that they should wait until one interview is over, before queuing someone else up outside to wait.

Finally, our interview went quickly once she got in. I (the petitioner) spoke to the pre-screener, but not to the interviewing officer. We approved and out the door by about 11:00.
Rating : Good


POE Review: Detroit
Event Description
Entry Date : 2009-03-22
Embassy Review : We only had about 90 minutes to make our connection (my fault in booking). To make things worse, we were seated in the back of a very full Boeing 747. Also, the stewardess on the plane was adamant that a K-1 visa holder did NOT need to fill out an I-94 form. So my poor fiance was at the end of the line for "visitors". Despite that, the lines moved pretty quickly.

I went through the USC line, collected our bags, and went around to the exit area for the visitors. My fiance waved to me and the immigration officer called me over to assist. He asked us a few questions to make sure that we understood the rules. Then he stamped her documents and said those magic words, "Welcome to the United States of America". We made our connection with time to spare.

Thank you to the staff of the Detroit POE!

*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
