New User & Interview Site Question

[lak&ajm 0]

Hi,

I officially just signed up, but I have been visiting this site for quite some time. I have been reading many of these posts and have learned quite a bit already. Thanks!!

So here is my situation. My fiance is from India and is currently residing there. However he has been offered a position in Singapore and will be moving there shortly. We have not yet started any paperwork. We are waiting until he has officially moved.

He was wondering once he moves where will his interview take place - his home country India (Mumbai consulate) or Singapore where he will be living.

Again, thanks for all you help. This site is FANTASTIC!

The interview location is a function of residency NOT of Citizenship. As long as he has legal residency in Singapore, then the interview will be in Singapore. The only exception to this is for a K3 visa. In this case, the interview will take place at the consulate that has control over the location of the marriage, unless the marriage was in the US. If the marriage was in the US, the normal rules apply.

You can have it in either place, however if he decides to have it in Singapore may have residency requirements that he needs to meet.

If he's there on a tourist visa they may not process him. Check their website for clarification and email the consulate if necessary with your question about residency.

Of course if he chooses to do it in India then he'll need to return to India for the interview and (hopefully) his visa issuance.

Be aware that some consulates can take weeks to issue a visa following a succesful interview so returning to India might not be the best choice.
