U.S. Embassy in Singapore Interviews

[Mem n Chris 0]

Hello all, I hope I'm posting this in the right area.

My fiance is in Singapore and we have received the letter from NVC saying they forwarded the petition to the U.S. Embassy in Singapore where she will have her interview. (Yay!)

I looked at the interview schedule for the Embassy in Singapore and unfortunately our case number has not shown up, but I also noticed that all the appointments are for the first part of the month (6/1 - 6/12). http://singapore.usembassy.gov/schedule_fo...interviews.html

My question is: Is it normal for embassy's to schedule interviews only at the first or last parts of the month? Is there still a chance we can get an interview by the end of this month? or do they only update monthly?

Thanks for any input anyone has.

First of all:

She will need to receive and then return packet 3 before an interview will be scheduled. Has he/she done this yet?

First of all:

Done!

She will need to receive and then return packet 3 before an interview will be scheduled. Has he/she done this yet?

No, she has not. but I read here that she doesn't have to? Or maybe I read it wrong.

Under section: "Packet 3 Contains:"

Update 11/09/07 for Immigrant visas: Embassy does not issue Packet 3.

What does that mean?

Embassy does not issue Packet 3. What does that mean?

Read everything thoroughly -- are interviewees expected to print something from the embassy's website to fill out and bring in? Is there a Packet 4 instead of a Packet 3? If these answers aren't apparent, contact the embassy for clarification.

In answer to your original question: Embassies create their own workload and workflow. The second two weeks of every month could be spent reviewing incoming or in-process paperwork, conducting second or Stokes interviews, or on other administrative functions.
