2 quick questions - ( maybe quick )

Chronological order can be ascending or descending, for the evidence presented, do they mean most recent first or oldest ?

In VJ so far I may have noticed reference to IOM for the medical. Is that coincidence or is their some reason to prefer there as opposed to Cho Ray ?

Thanks Andrew

Hi Andrew,

I did not see any precise instruction on the ordering issue. I assumed that it's up to you because you organize them for yourself to present when asked. As far as the pictures, we arranged the pictures with the oldest date on top, and group the pictures by oldest trip on top as well.

My fiance went to IOM because it was not so busy and the service personnel seem to be nicer. However, I believe she had to pay in dollars. I understand Cho Ray hospital is like a zoo most of the time.

I was curious about the same thing. I know the vaccination place is pretty far away from district one, and cho ray is also far away from both the vaccination place and district one...They seem to both have the same hours, but you'd think that they would hold the vaccinations in or near the hospitals used for the medical exams, taxi fares are killer.

Andrew and Thuy,

Organize your interview evidence material in a way to "tell" your love story. What is important and relavent piece of evidence or information you would like the interviewer to be aware of your case? Catagorically organize your pile of evidence to easily access during the 5 mins interview. NO, you can not expect the C.O. to look through everything. Therefore, how would you like to tell your story? Setup the evidence in that way! Pictures, letters, boardingpasses, giftreceipts and phone records, all are supporting evidence. The most important piece of evidence is the body language of your fiance and her personally and her delivery style when she speaks to the C.O., with confindence and undeniable and overflow with love in her heart for you I hope you get my point!

For IOM, nothing to fear, people use their service because the doctors who work there are claimed to be americans (vietnamese american) for that reason, most American husbands like myself send our loveones there. Expecting good service, at least better than Cho Ray's standard! That's all there is to it!

HCMC is a large city, you cannot hope the offices and hospital are closed. You can go by bus if you want to save money, or to rent a motobike to go.

Hi Andrew,

Just to show the acceptable differences in organizing interview evidence, our chronological order was recent to older. The key is chronological.

I agree with chuckandkim regarding IOM. Another reason we opted for IOM was because of their location in Q.1 versus Q.5 for Cho Ray. Tony is correct regarding payment for IOM -- it is USD, where you can pay in VND at Cho Ray.

Maybe I am looking into this too much but I looked up the word chronological and it states this:

chron·o·log·i·cal
–adjective 1. arranged in the order of time: a chronological list of events.

Now this would tell me to arrange something from older to newer. Although, if you look at it from another point of view, it could be order of time in reverse....I think the key is "Order of time". Can be oldest to newest, or newest to oldest.

Actually this question is buried somewhere else - regarding fasting and blood tests. I thought it better to reply here but put the topic in context.

I think both are pretty authoritative. Please draw your own conclusons.

By the way I did not hear about urine test, ( http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/test/urine_tests.htm ) ( usually for diabetes & kidney issues ).

Hope this helps ! Thank you for the many inputs.
