While waiting on packet 3, what can I do besides putting together the evidence and documents?

Can i go ahead and schedule my medical with my case number?

Or pay for visa fee and schedule an appt at embassy?

ANY way I can speed things up as best as I can in my limited situation?

What did they ask?

I wrote a review about my POE and I think you can find it in my timeline. Anyway, some of the questions I can still remember are the following?

1. How did you meet?

2. When did you meet in person?

3. How did you decide to get married?

The immigration officer had a friend who joined us (coz he was already done with his queue) and he asked me where my engagement ring was. So I lifted up my hand and showed it to them. They were friendly but at the same time, they gave a vibe that they meant business. I was nervous but not scared coz my fiance was just a few feet away from us waiting at the luggage carousel.

You can already go to Tan Tock Seng Travel to get your vaccines. They are much cheaper compared to the US-accredited clinic on Orchard. Unlike the medical exam, vaccines do not need to be administered at that same clinic.

Can i go ahead and schedule my medical with my case number?

I don't think so coz I think I showed a letter from packet 3 to the clinic. Anyway, the medical exam only takes a day and they will send the results directly to the US embassy so it's not really a big time pressure.

Or pay for visa fee and schedule an appt at embassy?

It is the embassy who will schedule your appointment. So after you send packet 3 back to them, they will send you packet 4, which may take up to a month.

ANY way I can speed things up as best as I can in my limited situation?

If you're a SG citizen, maybe you can request for a police certificate already. But I really don't think there's a rush coz packet 4 (or the interview appointment) takes a while to receive. And even if your documents aren't complete yet on the date of your interview, just attend and they will still wait for your documents if you're approved.

Thanks!

Quick question. What was needed when paying for the visa fee?

Passport number and case number?

Yeah, I showed them my passport and case number.

Apparently, I will need something called a MVR.

How do I obtain that? And do I need to do anything online? Apply for the DS-160?

What vaccines do I need?

And I received my NOA2 on 29th Oct (finally!). NVC sent out my package on 9th Nov, SG embassy received on 14th Nov. My fiance called and they confirmed they had my case. Yesterday, I called and checked if my packet 3 been mailed out and was told they NEVER received my packet. I think they lost it. This embassy is horrible!

NVC also told us they had sent it out but the embassy didn't have it yet. So maybe call the embassy again after a few days.

I forgot the vaccines I had but I went to Tan Tock Seng Travel and I told them I was going to US and gave me the necessary shots

Hi fluff5, nice to meet you. :dance:

I am a Singaporean and my Fiance is an American. My Fiance called NVC 2 days ago and our petition has left NVC so now I am hoping to receive the packet 3 by 2nd week or 3rd week of May.

Keep in touch.
