Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 12, 2009 Embassy Review : Please refer to this thread for the full interview experience. http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=184246&st=0&p=2728465&#entry2728465 Overall, the process was very efficient. The whole research and sleepless nights trying to organize our documents and brainstorming of possible scenarios and questions paid off well. I have a K2 with me during the interview but we were all very comfortable inside the embassy while waiting for our turn. Rating : 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
