question for you regarding the IV packet to NVC. Can you please let me know if I'm missing anything here?



- 2 passport photos of my wife - name, dob, case number on the back


- 2 passport photos of me - name, dob, case number on the back


- certified copy and photocopy of my wife's birth certificate


- certified copy and photocopy of my birth certificate


- original police certificate



I've read online that some countries have specific documents they'd like, does VN have any that I'm not including here? Is the household registry (Ho Khau) book needed?




Thanks!

Also check your regional forum and/or the embassy discussion if there are specifics required for your embassy/consulate.

don't forget the translations

It's rare to need any translations at the NVC stage. (China is an exception.) Documents in Vietnamese are fine if the interview will be in Vietnam. French in France, German in Germany, Russian in Russia, all OK. However, if the interview is in Vietnam and there is a German document, it would need translation. Most of the exceptions involve police reports from a third country the applicant may have lived in after turning 16.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...

I agreed, in Vietnam we dont need translating docs to English if they are Vietnamese language. The Consulate Officer (American) in Vietnam they can Read, Write, Hear and Speak Vietnamese very well. I knew that because I have talked to them twice. Once on my ex-wife's interview and once on my son's CRBA/US Passport. They spoke to me in English but spoke to my wife in Vietnamese. They readed our emails ( we used Vietnamese) and understood what we told with each other in those emails.
