The decision is when after medicals and everything, they actually grant you the visa.

Post 1, 15 and 19 is a good place to start.

Read everything, follow the steps.
Many things to do, but rather clear.

If I calculate from AOR date, so now it is 21 months, still no news, how they will complete file in 25 months? singapore office.
Anyone have idea?
25 months is an average estimate.
Some applications take longer, some are completed in less time.
I have seen so many people with long processing times at the Singapore office. Seems they take their time. You can try and force the issue by requesting GCMS every month. Every time they retrieve the file they move it a step forward
Oh, yeah. I understand.
The lack of news and the wait can lead to great anxiety, right?
