Consulate Review: Singapore Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : September 20, 2018 Embassy Review : Interview was simple. First window your documents are checked and returned as needed. Second window was the consular interview where she asked few Q's on the relationship. Did not ask to see tons of evidence brought or pictures or anything. She issued a 221g for original translation of birth certificate & police certificate. All I had was US notarized translated copies. Also the Fullerton health clinic had a typo in my name (this clinic is about the most disorganized place I have ever been to. So careless and incompetent and unprofessional. They are not to be trusted to get things done right). I went got the translations requested for next day delivery then stopped by clinic to push them to send a corrected report IMMEDIATELY. The next day I rcvd the translations and got an email from the clinic with a delivery slip confirming that the US embassy rcvd the corrected report same day. I dropped off the translations at Aramex and they rcvd Friday Aug 31. Unfortunately from that point on there was radio silence. There CEAC status changed to Administrative Processing from Aug 29 to Sep 7 then changed to Ready. Then nothing from that point on. I kept emailing and they kept saying its under review and under consideration and no documents needed. Since I needed the passport I asked to retrieve it and went this week where the officer at the window hinted its better if I keep it with them and promised to push for a decision in the coming days and took my phone number to call me. That same day there was case update date change. The next day Sep 19 it went to administrative processing. I waited all morning and afternoon then status changed to Issued and right after I got a phone call from the officer to pick the passport up same day at the embassy since I needed the passport urgently to travel next day. He handed me the passport with the sealed packet javascript:emoticon('') . He apologized for the processing delay. Interview was easy but processing took way longer than expected and for no clear reasons. Rating : Moderate

*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.
