US Embassy Singapore: Holiday Closing Schedule 2011

Posted by : admin

Those who have perused this web log in the past may have taken notice of the fact that the administration routinely posts the holiday closing schedules of the various US Missions in Asia in the hopes that doing so will forestall fruitless trips by Americans abroad to a closed Embassy observing an American or foreign holiday. To quote directly from the official website of the US Embassy in Singapore:

The American Embassy will observe the following American and Local Holidays.

Those seeking services such as issuance of a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, US Passport, or additional pages for a previously issued US passport are well advised to contact an American Citizen Services Section of the nearest US Consulate with appropriate jurisdiction as such requests, made by those physically present abroad, are generally only processed at US Missions abroad. Making an appointment online to visit a US Mission abroad can greatly facilitate the processing of requests and \streamline the processing of an individual’s request.

Those seeking travel documents such as the B-2 visa (US tourist visa), B-1 visa (US business visa), F-1 visa (US student visa), or J-1 visa (US exchange visitor visa) are likely to process their application through a Non-Immigrant Visa (NIV) Unit abroad. Those seeking such travel documents should bear in mind that non-immigrant visa applications are scrutinized pursuant to section 214(b) of the United States Immigration and Nationality Act.

Those Americans seeking family based visa benefits for an immigrant spouse (CR-1 visa or IR-1 visa) will likely see their loved one process their visa application through an Immigrant Visa (IV) Unit abroad. For purposes of visa application processing the K1 visa, although a US fiance visa technically classified as a non-immigrant travel document, is treated in much the same way as the immigrant visa applications.

Those seeking a business or investment visa such as an E-2 visa (Treaty Investor), L-1 visa (Intra-Company Transferee) , or EB-5 visa (Immigrant Investor) are likely to be required to process an immigration petition through the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) prior to submitting a visa application abroad. In the case of the E-2 visa, those seeking such visa benefits abroad may not be required to process an immigration petition with USCIS.
