They want to see me...
They want to see me...
Hey all.
So my wife and I are currently staying in US. My wife is a Singaporean and works for the SG govt. I myself am a US citizen and currently not working. We've married in Singapore over a year ago. Wife's pregnant and expecting to give birth next year. Ideally, we're hoping to move to SG in several months and, if all goes well with the paperwork, find a job, buy an apartment, and start a family.
We applied for PR, and after a long wait (way over a year),finally received a letter asking me to come in. We called them up and they said it's a 3 hour session. Yikes.
I'd just like to know what kind of topics they're planning to discuss so I can prepare better. Do they need things like marriage cert, etc..? Also, since I'll be flying there from US, will 1 week be enough for me to settle all matters or do they normally request follow ups afterwards?
Thanks for any help.

Please refer to the below link
http://www.ica.gov.sg/page.aspx?pageid=151" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (Spouse/Child of a SC/SPR)
I am assuming that you are applying for PR through the option of spouse of a citizen and have not got it approved yet.

Re: They want to see me...
Not sure, as if you go at your allotted e-appointment time, usually it would take a maximum of 1 hour for the application submission. It is pretty fast.sgmate wrote:Oh, I see.

Re: They want to see me...
They just take documents, they don't talk. The only thing they can talk about is you missed some of the documents or some originals needed.

pretty much that's it, from what I knowSergei82 wrote:They just take documents, they don't talk. The only thing they can talk about is you missed some of the documents or some originals needed.
And they may ask you to photocopy some documents they are interested in, but which you hadn't copied, and they will wait for you to return back
Ah, the the slots are bit vague
1-3 PM means, you must get your queue number before 1, but your number may be called any time between 1 to 3 !!
And the usual disclaimer, that queue number may not appear in sequence applies
