Consulate Review: Singapore Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : October 31, 2013 Embassy Review : Things mostly went OK. But the biggest problem that I had was at the interview, they asked me to submit a new police certificate from Russia, as they wanted one that is less than six months old and the old I submitted had been issued seven months ago. This added another five weeks (the new certificate took more than a month to be ready), at least, to the waiting time of getting the visa. I understand that they require certain documents and they want the documents to be current. But I am rather frustrated and angry with the fact that they did not make this requirement clear to us. More than a month passed between getting the notification of the interview and the interview itself. There was ample time to get a new certificate had we known that it'd be needed. But instead, nothing was said of this and the NVC letter notifying us of the time of the interview actually states clearly that we need a new police certificate if the existing one is more than one year old. They could have easily told us about this six month rule in advance. But this never bothered to do that. Rating : Poor

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
