Package 3 - Vietnam

[2007K1 0]

Please tell me what forms are included on Package 3 (Instructions package) from HCM Consulate.

HCM Consulate has on 01/02/2008 sent out this package to my fiancee and now after 4 weeks, we still have not received it yet.

Can we just print out the requested forms on-line and turn them in by person at the HCM Consulate?

Please advise!

Thanks a lot in advance!

I asked the same question last week but seem like no one hang around this forum anymore. Anywho, I did some search and came across these posts, and as far as i know. You only have to turn in form DS-230 Part I back to the Consulate ( Don't quote me on that, I haven't got any confirm from anyone in here). You can obtain the form with the link below. Good luck and let me know if your fiance is able to turn it in.

You can print out DS-230 Part I from the internet. However, HCMC also has their own "interview readiness" form that you must also turn in to tell them that you are prepared for the interview. Without that form they won't schedule your interview. And no, you can't get that form from the internet. It's best just to wait for Packet 3.

Hola 2007K1:

If your fiance'e has not rec'd Packet 3 after 1 month from mailing date, have her come pick it up at the Consulate, tell her the case # and they'll give her a copy. If she has not rec'd it by Feb 2 (Sat), then go pick up on Feb 4--is a Monday.

Peace,

visao

Thank you everyone for your advices.

I called the HCM Consulate today, and they let my fiancee to come and pick up the package.

Package 3 (Instruction package) contains:

DS 2001

DS 230 Part I

DSL 1083

DSL 1083 is just for instruction of obtaining Police Certificate, so we only turn in the DS 2001 and DS 230 Part I.

My fiancee could drop off the forms back to the Consulate at the same day.

I guess it's now just waiting for the package 4.

Does anyone know how long between package 3 turns in and receiving package 4?

According to the Consulate so it will take 2 to 4 months :-(

Thanks again for your help!

Regards!

The Consulate allowed my fiancee to come and pick up the package and also drop it off by person at the same day.

They did verify her ID prior to letting her come in.

They checked her case number and ID with their system, then they gave her the package.

We turned in the DS 2001 and DS 230 part I at the same day.

Regards!

It was 4 weeks for me between Packet 3 and 4. They're taking off ~ one week for the Vietnamese New Year, so maybe you're looking at 5 weeks timeframe. Good luck!

DSL 1083 is just for instruction of obtaining Police Certificate ...

Would you please explain about the detail for this instruction?

I would like to have more info regarding how to obtain a PC. My wife told me it's not a problem to obtain one in bigger cities like HCM. But in small town, according to a person that did it, she has to pay a bribe money of $100 in order to get one. Without paying the bribe the official would not issue her the PC. I don't have any first-hand knowledge into this issue. Apparently, transparency is not a normal thing in certain places.

My wife went 2 weeks early to obtain her PC and had to pay 125.00 (she lived in HCMC)or it was going to take 3 weeks. She Recived Her PC On her Interview Date at 7:30 in the morning and her interview was at 10:00. Talk about stress.

My Fiancee applied her Police Certificate on a town in Southern Vietnam.

It was easy. She just went to the police station and turn in her request.

I am not sure how much in fee she had paid but she did not pay any extra except the standard fee. I will ask her again regarding the fee.

They promised her a processing time of 4 weeks.

Regards!

I checked with my fiancee regarding application fee.

She paid 100K VND (around 7USD) when she applied for the Police report. The procedure was really simple and it took only 15 minutes to fill out the form.
