My understanding is that pre-arrival is often issued once a basic eligibility check is completed but security, criminality and background checks are still pending. It is these checks which can be the most time-consuming aspect of the process.

Criminality is to check your criminal record and that you’ve disclosed everything with regards to that; security to ensure you’re not on any Interpol/most wanted/associated with terrorism etc. lists and background check checks your history against what you’ve declared ie. job, residency, travel history.
That’s as far as I understand things anyhow.

I received our GCMS notes in which it said under
  • Notes - "Please request passport and photos" - 2020/06/29.
  • Document Issuance - Counterfoil has been created. - 2020/06/29. (Counterfoil is the Visa IM-1)
The issue I am facing right now is VFS is for VAC in Dhaka, Bangladesh is closed. Hence they haven't sent it to me.
  • Has anyone faced this sort of situation?
  • Has anyone directly mailed their passport to Singapore VO?

As far as I know, if you reached DM then it's most probably accepted.
I think they would send the application back if it was refused.

Hello everyone, I am new to this thread. I applied for my husband in Dec 2019. Have not heard anything since Feb 2020. How can I order GCMS notes? I am with Delhi VFS and it is still closed. My application was moved to Delhi in Feb and have not heard anything from them since then.
