Processing times in HCMC, Vietnam

[Brian & Hanh 0]

We have been interviewed and submitted all documentation to the Consulate in HCMC as of 6/13/08. They say they will contact the beneficiary with further info and there is no need to provide further documentation.

4 months have past. No response from them and they will not tell us when the visa will be processed. It is as if the Vietnamese govt controls the US embassy, because this is the same response i got from many Vietnamese govt offices when i was trying to form a business there in Vietnam. At least a little money to the govt official worked wonders for the Vietnamese officials. It seems our govt in the US is operating in the same manner on VN soil.

I can find nothing out about processing times in HCMC, for a case that has all proper documentation submitted, interview completed and is just waiting for the visa.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I know it's a stupid question, but have you tried emailing and calling them and your Congressional Representatives?
