Consulate Review: Singapore Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : July 13, 2011 Embassy Review : My visa application was approved today. The questions they asked me were: how did you get to know each other? Have either of you been married? (I said no. first time. and last time). Do you have any kids? (no) What job do you currently have now? Do you have a job in US? What does you fiance do? What are your wedding plans? They focus their attention mainly on the evidence provided. Being work nerds, we did a powerpoint that showed the timeline (when we first met..date...and showed all the trips we had made). she used that as her reference mostly..in fact...she stopped me from explaining the different times we had met... At the end, she said to me, "its nice to have such an easy and straightforward case for a change!". Your visa has been approved. Please collect your passport and papers a week from now. It is valid for 6 months. HAHA. apart from the questioning..what was gruelling was the wait. a 45mins wait to submit your documents and have a lady check it. she also asked me questions (see above) a 2hour wait to meet the officer where she asked more detailed questions. (and i was the first to be interviewed) the interview was weird...it was a room full of people waiting (for immigrant and non-immigrant visas)...you have to stand at the window and talk to them. I thought it would be a private room..with nice "comfy chairs" i saw a lot of people tip toe-ing....and you also hear a lot of people's stories (everyone hears all your answers!) i saw a couple get turned down at the first lady because the guy couldnt get his wedding date right, and some other issues...she was quite hard on the questioning. Rating : 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.
