Could someone please help me with question 21a and 21b of Form DS-230 part 1?

I will be in Vietnam at the time of my wife interview and hopefully she passes.

My plan is for both of us to come to the U.S. together.

Therefore, do I put my name in question 21a?

And question 21b also confuses me, I'm not sure what to answer.

Thanks in advance!

What do question 21a and 21b ask for? It is better when you write down the questions so that people can answer easily.

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

mgk is right. Both question 21a and 21b should be "none" since it's just you and your wife, and you're already a US citizen.

On a side note, like you I also make a plan to accompany my wife to US after the interview. My case is at NVC right now and it'll be at HCMC later similar to you. Please fill in your timeline as it might help others with the same post. Good luck!

N/A is alright in place of None. I prefer "None" though since it's listed on the Example Forms for DS-230 Form. It uses "None" on the form. If it's working then there's no need to change it.
