Ok, My fiancee went to get her police report on April 5. They told her it will take 15 days (Not counting weekends) to have it ready for her to pick up. Her interview is on April 24. So, this is where the problem is. She will not have the police report in time for the interview. The consulate website states:

I am unable to submit a document that your office requested. What should I do?

If you are unable to provide information requested by the interviewing officer, you should submit a letter explaining the circumstances that prevent you from complying with the request. After you submit the letter, a consular officer will review your case file.

I am writing a letter explaining the situation and sending it to my fiancee and she will take it to the interview.

I do think she will get a blue slip for not having the document. We will submit the police report as soon as we get it translated.

Any other thoughts/ideas?

For about $100 you could get your police report through an attorney (like a visa specialist). They get the report within days.

I agree with Dalegg,

Money ALWAYS speaks inside Vietnamese dealings! If you (she) want(s) it bad enough, you'll get it.

I just wired some money to her

Yep, you don't want a blue slip for any reason. You never know when they would review your case even if the requested information is small.

Documents provided by the Vietnamese government are written in the Vietnamese language. The HCMC Consulate requires an official translation into English, which is an extra step in the process.

oh, thanks! That is the first country I've ever heard of where you can NOT submit evidence in *either* English or the local language.

Does this apply to just the police cert, or everything that is submitted to the Consulate?
