Although we assembled all the required documentation requested for the interview AND brought every document we ever received/submitted to the USCIS we were never asked to produce ANYTHING besides identification at the interview! It's never a bad thing to be over prepared but in retrospect I wish I would have known rather than lugging pounds/reams of paper along. No complaints though!

Consulate Review: Singapore Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : November 8, 2010 Embassy Review : Aside from a small scheduling glitch (that was partially our fault) the interview was straight forward with zero problems. The staff were a little "dry" however the English fluency (as you would expect in Singapore) was very, very good and my fiancee left completed the interview and associated paperwork in less than an hour. Rating : Very Good

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
