I just received a request for Right of Permanent Residence Fee in the mail. Does this mean that the application is nearly complete? I thought they only asked for this if you are approved. It says "In order to conclude your relatives application abroad, a Right of Permanent Residence Fee in the amount of $490 is required." To me this means that they want the money so they can finish up the process. The only thing is that I only sent my application in about 3 1/2 months ago. Seems a little quick to me but if its all good then this is a big sigh of relief. FYI my wife's from Thailand so our visa office was Singapore.
