| Embassy Review : |
We has our interview appointment on Nov. 2, 2010 at 8:30 am. We arrived at 6am and had the visa approved by 11:30 am.
The interview was pretty easy and straight forward. Take the time to review the documentary requirements on the US Embassy, Manila website and you won\'t have any problems. Everything they asked us for was listed on the website. There were no surprises.
The staff was polite, professional, and helpful throughout the process. I was especially pleased with the helpers and security guards they had there. They were able to answer questions and guide us through the process.
I only rated 4 stars because the system to process your application is opaque. They seem to call cases in a random order. Numerous people with the same interview time who arrived after we did were called first. I hate waiting while people who got there after me are served.

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.
** Not all cases are transfered
