The Process went so smoothly..The waiting time is terrible, but compared to a lifetime of love, well worth it. Be prepared for the time, extra expenses, and Trust in God completely, He will get you through it. |

She was the last one out of the immigration area. But she says they were very helpful with her luggage that it wouldn't get lost. She had her picture taken, fingerprints, and was told that She must marry within 90 days. She exited Customs with a smile, and exhaustion. She is here!! |

The process went very well. We were in the waiting area with about 6-8 couples. They all had Immigration lawyers with them. We did not. We were in and out before the others. Thank God for planning in advance. This can be done without an attorney. All Praise and Glory to Our Father in Heaven!!! |

| Embassy Review : |
I am writing this review for my Fiance Rebeca. I just finished talking to her and she had her interview today at the US Embassy in Manila. She awoke at 4:00am, arrived at the Embassy at 5:00am. She said there were approximately 1000 people there, but it was very organized. She was let in after her documentation was checked around 7:00am. Her number was called at 7:15am, where she had her Pre-Screener Interview with a Filipino worker. He asked questions that have been discussed in the many Reviews before. They did ask for proof of support, and my XOOM copies didn't provide the information they needed. Fortunately, she had the original receipts, AMEN!! She was than asked to sit down and wait for her number to be called again. She was called for her Fingerprinting around 7:35am. Approximately at 8:00am, her number was called by the Consular Officer for her final interview. He asked the questions, how we met, when we met in person for the first time, Have I been married before, Do I have any children, Has she ever been married before, When does she plan on coming to the US, and when is our wedding date. He asked to see some pictures, and he made a comment that I was a Big Guy, and she said to him, "Yes Sir", and "I Love HIM". He than said that Rebeca, "YOUR VISA IS APPROVED". She was asked to wait for her number to be called for the Courier information, and than she left the Embassy. She called me when she went outside and I was surpised to hear her voice, It happened so quickly. She is extremely happy. Now it's time to buy her a plane ticket to Las Vegas, Hopefully for Oct. 13th or 20th, and Marriage on October 28th. AMEN, GOD IS GREAT..Don't Lose Faith, He is always with us..Good Luck, and GOD BLESS!! |

*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.
