It took about 2 minutes. Officer was impersonal and efficient. He only asked me when the wedding date was, and reminded me about the 90 day deadline. |

| Embassy Review : |
Overall the interview process went quite well. People were professional and organized, though there was a lot of waiting time due to the huge number of applicants. I won't go through the whole process, others have written about this before.
Some observations and suggestions about my own experience:
- No proper pedestrian lane in front of the embassy which is pretty dangerous for those arriving from across the street. But a guard told me they will complete an overpass soon.
- My appointment was at 6:30, I arrived at 5:45, and was all done by 9:30. I don't think you need to arrive earlier than I did. Once they open the doors at 6:00 am the line moves pretty fast.
- I paid my visa fee online with BPI, as this was one of the options given. I only got an email confirmation, no receipt. At least 2 of the staff I dealt with were not familiar with this and had to call maybe their supervisor to check on this. Luckily I brought my bank statement showing the corresponding debit and I had to submit this for extra proof of payment.
- For those who are still worried about the police clearance from Singapore (like I was-- it has been unavailable except on appeal since Oct 2010) you can rest easy : all the staff have been informed of this change and they did not require one from me.
- The consular officer who interviewed me was pleasant as well as professional.
Overall, I think if you are eligible, well-prepared and have all the necessary documentation, you will be ok.

*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.
