Jeez. I'm sorry you had to wait this long after your interview all because of a one day delay in the embassy receiving your medical report. I told the front desk personnel to expedite the process because it's only 9 working days from medical to visa interview and she made some kind of note on the papers but good god I guess we will soon find out whether it will be expedited or not. Technically I can wait till the 21st (my last day at work) but the earlier the better. Fingers crossed. 

Hoping it all goes well for you! I wonder though, if the Consulate is seeing a pattern here with the delayed reports from Fullerton. When I informed the CO my medical was delayed and they would only receive it the following day, he looked unsurprised and mentioned it was fine. Seems like a common occurence. Wish there was another approved health facility undertaking the medical screening. Oh well.

I was reading the boards dated a few years back when they (Us embassy in Singapore) actually allowed other health facilities too (I think like Tan Tock Seng etc). Not sure if the situation was much better. But yeah hope they see this pattern and will bother to do something about it. I don't think it's just us VJ users in SG either, I saw the way they did things at the clinic when I was there in person and honestly? It was quite uncoordinated etc. I was pushed around from one station to another, not briefed, and even had to a station twice because the nurse did not write the numbers down. I mean, it was the height and weight thingy, so I didn't complain about it - but I can't imagine if it was something else. I don't wanna come off as whiney (I'm sure I already am to non-Singaporeans here hahaha), but man, I don't think Fullerton is doing a good job.

If you and others were to take the time to write a letter with your experience using facts and not emotion to the Embassy, I believe you would get their attention. I would hate to think that they are using Fullerton because they are better then the others.

You need to be a little more patient and not expect your case is the same as ithers. You have trust the process.

Singapore is kind of a different bird, cannot get medical apt without packet and you fill out and mail packet back with date of medical and they tell you when your interview date is... Her medical is on April 3 and they scheduled interview on the 10th... we requested to delay interview a week if possible and the embassy replied that if we reschedule interview we will be put at back of list of all visa applicants and the wait time could be 4 months, so we will have to deal with 221g if medical is not at embassy by the 10th.... embassy in Singapore does not work well with visa applicants as far as rescheduling anyway, we thought they would appreciate the heads up but obviously they don’t care

A 221g is not the end of the world.  You'll do fine. Let's start thinking positive. You can do this.

We will deal with it...I was just commenting because you were telling others that it was their fault for poor planning... but in reality, in Singapore at least, one is at the mercy of the embassy... is not like Manila

I also make it known that each embassy is different and be sure to, one - read and understand the P3 and two, find others from your country in the sub forum as they have a better insight into what can and cannot be done. Normally, you'll be advise to leave from 5 to 10 days from the medical to the interview.  If you choose to not take advice and it doesn't go as you have planned then I will most assuredly point out it was poor planning if I choose. 

 

All of these points are true for all embassies not just Manila. I would like to inform you to the fact this is not my first rodeo. I'll be glad to help you but a little friendlier tone would be a appreciated. Thanks and good luck on your upcoming interview. You have gotten this far and I hope it works out for you.

I wasn’t asking for your advice, simply stating the fact that Singapore will schedule your appointment whenever they see fit, the applicant has no control of how many days after medical to interview...I am not giving you attitude.. just telling you from our experience how it works there so that you can help others ... our journey is almost over and we will move on but you will help many others in the years to come... take care and god speed... 😊

Here is a list of things that I provide to those processing through Singapore. I don't think I have ever shared this with you because you haven't completed your profile so at any time I could provide this to you. It would help if you complete your profile. Thanks.
