| Embassy Review : |
My husband and daughter were in line by 5:30 am; they were accompanied by my dad, also a USC. They didn\'t have to wait for long to be interviewed by the pre-screener. The typical questions asked:
1. Are you the beneiciary?
2. When is your birthday?
3. Who is your petitioner?
4. When is her birthday?
5. Where is your daughter?
*At this time, my daughter was pulling my husband\'s and wanted to go to the waiting area because DORA the Explorer was on.
6. Do you have any pictures ready?
So they waited for a little bit, around 20 minutes or so. Then they were up for the consul\'s interview. The questions were:
1. When did you get married?
2. Was it a Church wedding?
3. When is your wife\'s birthday? birthplace?
4. What is her job?
5. Do you have pictures?
*The pre-screener took the ones that were printed on copy paper, but my husband had a couple more. He handed over an additional stack. The consul looked them over carefully and read the captions. This was the longest part.
6. Where and when was your daughter born?
7. Why did she not gain American citizenship upon birth?
*I stayed in the US since birth until the age of 12. When my dad retired from the service, he packed us up and went to the Philippines. Due to residency requirements (5 years stay on American soil, at least 2 after the age of 14), my daughter did not qualify. After giving birth to her, we went to the embassy and that\'s when I found out.
8. Did you file for a CRBA?
*No. It\'s because we knew it was going to be denied, per ACS staff.
9. We need a CRBA denial letter. Can you provide one today?
*This was the kicker. Why was he asking for something that we knew was to be denied. It was a good thing my dad was there. I\'m not sure how the process for CRBA is, but they were able to get it done in about 4 hours.
Then my husband went to pay for the visa delivery. He was told it was to be COD. Now this has me worried, because I kinda think CODs were given to those who were under AP, or needed more docs; and it took longer. I hope to be proven wrong.
Thanks VJ for all you help! It\'s been less than 5 months for my journey from NOA1-Visa approval! God Bless!

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.
