Rating:  | Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
I am a Filipino citizen based in Singapore. I had my IR-1 visa interview on 19 October and the whole process took about an hour (waiting time included). The experience was easy and straightforward.
First counter (documents were checked in the ff order):
1) Passport
2) Birth certificate
3) Marriage certificate
4) Police certificates: Philippines (NBI) and Singapore
5) CENOMAR –This can be requested online and must be sent by PSA directly to US embassy Singapore. Courier options: Philpost (6-8 weeks) or Fedex (very fast)
6) Certificate copy of Marriage Record from the ROM - This can be applied online and can be delivered to the applicant or directly to the US embassy in 1-2 working days. Applicants who have never been married in SG would receive a certificate stating that ‘No record is found’.
7) 2 passport photos
* An online profile registration with Aramex (courier agent)
Questions asked:
What is your status in Singapore?
Were either you or your spouse previously married?
Do either of you have any children?
What does your spouse do?
Interview with CO:
*Fingerprints were taken after confirming that it was me in the passport*
How long have you been together?
When did you get married?
Where did you live after you got married?
When was the last time you saw each other?
I wasn’t asked to show additional documents nor any evidence of our relationship. But as I’ve learned in VJ conversations, it is always wise to be prepared.
Before I left, I was told that our documents were good and to expect a visa to be issued soon. I received my immigrant visa on 28 October.
Cheers and good luck!
