Singapore timeline

[Amy612]

Thanks for the reply. I think that would be too optimistic. Probably they haven't even looked at it yet. I check it very frequently and the address never showed there from day 1 it got transferred to Singapore.

But I am almost certain they don't process it in a sequential manner.  Two of my friends got PPR this month

1st one had a processing time of 6 months at Singapore
2nd one had a processing time of 3 months at Singapore

they both got PPR within one week apart earlier this month.

any idea when the initial screening of the application happens after it gets transferred to Singapore ?

Thanks

Could you please tell me when did they apply? When their file tgransferred to Singapore?
I did a research on singapore processing time  ha ha. My assumption is they do innitial review  1 to 1.5 months after they receive the application. After that if the case is straight forward then they start the processing or take the necessary steps. Every case is different.  and definately luck is a factor. But if your case is very straight forward and they have no doubt about the  genuineness of the relationship, no problem with the background check, criminality, militray service etc, then you will be done by 4-7 months after receiving in Singaporre.

The one had PPR in 3 months :
Transfer to singapore : 5 December 2011
In-Process: 5 February 2012
PPR sent: 22 February 2012
received the passport back earlier this month or Last week of March

The one had PPR in 6/7 months:

Transfer to singapore : I think August or September 2011
In-Process: Not sure
PPR sent: I think 2nd or 3rd  week of March 2012
received the passport back earlier this month 2012

As you applied out side Canada, you have to contact with singapore to change your address. Check the link

I read somewhere, they sent singapore an email to update the change of address and it worked.

I think your assumption is not right in my case. Cuz SGVO received my letter on May' 11 till then i got no updates. It's been 10+ months.... ...m so frustrated......

How frequently you check the ecas status? Actually for my case I saw the principal applicant address only for two-weeks. After that my husband's address disappeared from Jan 27 to till now. It seems when singapore works on files, address disappears. So many people in this forum got update after disappearing their addresses. Right now my file is In Process. So may be you are lucky. They are working on your file. Good luck.

Hope you are right...cuz my address also disappeared for last at least two months......m so frustrated.......

Initial assessment does not mean that you will see an update in you eCas. The officer might simply add his comment and put it back on the queue with a next processing date. It depends on your case. Coz I have seen cases got processed by Singapore in 3 months, so they must be doing an initial assessment soon after the file gets there.

Did you here anything from VO? I am following you since I did filed right after you ...It has been a year my husband and I apart from each other. We came to a point where we cry when we see each other in skype or yahoo Our smiles  fade out gradually . It is soo hard  Once they see my pictures they should understand it is not a fake marriage. Who on earth gather family members and spend so much money with in a short period to do a fake marriage? I have given every activities pictures My daughter and I passing a terrible time with out my husbands support in Canada but can't even change the situation for this processing

Shaheenaz,
I didn't hear anything from singapore after April 3. My ecas status has changed to "In Process". It says
We received your application on Sept 28. We have started your processing on April 10, 2012. Medical results have been received."
Singapore receiived your file after one months of mine. So don't worry. You will see some change in your ecas very shortly I beleive.
I don't see my husband and son for the last seven months. So I know how difficult it is. We have nothing to do. Just keep faith in Allah and waitng....All the best.

Anyone from Vietnam have had their interviews yet? Got letter on November 7, 2011 and still waiting. A few people from other countries already had interviews, what is taking Singapore or this VO so long to schedule an interview.

My wife also got her first interview letter on  November 7 dated November 4 2011.  Next month it will be 6 months.  I read in this thread that after 5 to 7 months Singapore sends second letter with interview date.  I am very worried.  I do not know how many times a year Singapore VO conducts interviews in HCM city.  From looking at older posts, interviews are usually conducted in June and July sometimes in May.  I hope your spouse and my spouse will have the interview this year.  This means they can be here for Christmas

My husband received the letter on october ,so its over 7months now, people say about my country too that its in about 5-8months to receive the letter, i think that info is incorrect. Does your letter state 24months or less?
I am very dissapointed of this waiting.. hopefully its sometime soon cuz i cant take it anymore.good luck to you,keep us updated

Yes my wife's letter also said 24 months or less.
What I try to do is look at older posts of people from Vietnam that went to interview. Kimbo.780's wife went to interview in november and it was about 11 months after the file was transferred to singapore.

The interview is just the first step because my wife must redo medical and police report they are expired.
After the interview it can take another 4-5 months to complete everything.
