| Embassy Review : |
Two interviews as expected. First one more difficult than I anticipated (and somewhat does not make sense), second one straight forward. Result: case looks good - under final review, if nothing else will get notice to pick up passport with visa in a week's time (5 working days I believe).
Singaporean officer who reviews documents: (he insisted it was not "the" interview) - questions recalled from memory in no particular order:
> Old passports? Show me old US visas (I was a student and worked in the States before) - so that I can verify you haven't overstayed (?! I thought they are immigration they would have known that already?)
> Might need updated bank statements (from US spouse) (turns out didn't)
> Where did you meet? Any photos before wedding? (We've been living in Singapore together for a while, nothing long distance dated here got married here so didnt bring a lot of proof - luckily husband got a photo in his wallet - did not seem the American officer looked at it even, we just lost it for nothing).
> Do you know how your husband immigrated to the US?
> What is your husband going to do about his job? I said he's asking for a transfer. Officer said we'd need his transfer letter (which might take months!) - American officer later on says nah looks fine, we understand, no need. Though he did ask about it which we did not expect.
I read some reviews that said the singaporean officer is not nice - I would disagree. I thought he was fine, he's not as understanding as the American officer - but he's the document checker not the decision maker so I think they have different job and are thus required to check different things.
American officer:
Pretty much asked nothing. Asked about the job transfer, but in no details and very understanding.
Asked what visa I was on while working in the US (H1B) asked how long. Saw it in my profile on his pc and said right, that's about it.
I had to ask for some original back - they gave me one or two but missed one. Make sure you know what originals you need otherwise they're not responsible!

*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.
