Hi, I posted my story about a week ago. If somebody has a good recomendation for an attorny that would be helpful. I would like somebody who has had experience with the Ho Chi Minh Consulars as far as after a denied K1 helping doing another K1 and getting it approved. My attorny has gotten a K3 approved after they have denied the K1 but I cannot leave my job for 45 days as he suggested because my job would fire me and in this economy I couldn't find another decent job to bring her over. Or if anybody knows an attorny that could help me get married in 2 weeks by doing the paperwork over here first and sending my fiencee the power of attorny.

I have talked to 4 attornys that have gotten the K1 approved after it was denied but nobody that has experince doing it in Ho Chi Minh. I think somebody that has the expeince would give me the best chance. I have emailed Marcus but he referred me to Mr Nam and in the email he didn't give me a way to contact mr Nam.

sorry but i think all attorny are fucken dicks

our lawyer coast us about 1700$ and he didn't do anything except tak out money

he dont even answer our calling

You might want to re-phrase that, but we probably have the same attorney. Also, maybe post somewhere more relevant.

I agree with HAOLE,if u can make it CR1 why u still go for K3 visa.look at my timeline............

i already had my SSN with in 13 days and 1 1/2 months for my GREEN CARD...

and having a lawyer will just take u time and waste money.....i"ve been following your thread

u're fiancee got denied by K1 it's because she was so nervous and gotta problem in english language.

sorry to hear that,but during the interview she must be relax,calm and confident,it's just like a friend asking information about u...

anyway good luck on ur next try.........

If you do marry I'd forget about the K3 and go with the CR-1 all the way.

Why would you go with the CR-1 over the K3 ?

You need to solve your current problems first but this will give you an idea of what you have to look forward to.

I was like everyone else. Giant rush to get my lady here. Didn't consider what could happen doing AOS. We went with the K3 and still regret doing such BIGTIME!

USCIS screwed up during the AOS process. Cost us an extra 2 K plus a loss of work time and stress we never added up.

To start CRs are immigrant visas and receive their GC and SS card in the mail shortly after arriving in the US.

No need to go thru the $1010 cost, stress and hassle of doing the AOS. No need another interview or do biometrics.

K3s are nonimmigrant visas and have to go thru AOS. It can take a LONG time to get GC. Can be denied and deported also. Rare but the chance is still there.

If the relationship or petitioner goes “belly up” before the beneficiary has GC in hand they stand an excellent chance of being deported.

At this time if done properly it only takes about a month longer to do the CR-1 or IR-1.

The CR-1 receipient can almost immediately work, get drivers license, joint bank accounts, and anything else where a GC and SS card are required .

K3 visas have to wait at about 3 months for EAD so they can get a SSN.

I agree with pushbrk and others. Mark Ellis is the attorney you want for HCMC.

I'm going to move this to the Regional forum then move it back here leaving a copy of the post in there so perhaps you will get more advice. Hope that makes sense.

Good luck to you.

Thanks, I tried Mark Ellis a few times with no luck. Im getting some links from this site for a few and google. Hopefully somebody that has hired a decent attorny will reply.

Well today my senators letter and appeal went to the CA service center so im not sure what to expect next if anybody knows? I assume I would get a letter in the mail asking me if I want to appeal it or not but not sure how long that takes or howl long I have to find a lawyer or maybe my senators case worker is all I need although this is her first one im a little nervous and I think a senators word would go farther than a lawyers but the senator doesn't know the letter of the law so im kinda scared. If I tell the case worker I have a lawyer doing the appeal she will be mad and maybe wont' write a recomendation letter for me.

You could consult with Carl Shusterman. Check out shusterman.com. He is expensive but one of the top few immigration lawyers in the country.

[Teacher Mark 53]

Call Mr. Truong at 84-8-261-4124. He's partner's with Eliis in HCMC. I f you can't afford Ellis then there's no way you'll be able to afford any of the others. Good luck with that Canada thing, if you choose that route.

What does Ellis charge to take a case usually?

He asked me not to post what he charges on here. When/if you do get a a hold of him tell him you found his name on VJ.

The suggestion to hire Marc Ellis is the correct one. I also suspect that he can't really help you as the package has been sent back to the States. I would pay the consultation fee. If he wants to speak to the fiancee then he has a very good reason to want to do so. By saying that he doesn't is maybe why he will not reply to you. Nlow if you need a go to guy in Ho Chi Minh consulate then get serious and hire him. If anything he can tell you what needs to be done and you will have the total facts. As it looks now you are scatter shooting and you will get nowhere that way.

People have gotten a visa in the past that were turned down once on a fraud so you can to. It will take time and much effort. If you two want to be together then no amount of time and effort will matter. All the advice you need has been stated already in this post and the other post you made.

Regarding the marriage route in VN here is a thread:

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=153347

Post #12 mentions a service here in the States. I don't know anything about the service other than what is there. You may want to P/M the person who posted it.

I found this website

http://www.helplinelaw.com/law/vietnam/marriage/marriage.php

It shows the process and timeline that it would take to get married in vietnam. If I send her power of attorny she can do most of this all I would have to be there for is the last stage to show my passport so I could marry her in 2 or 3 weeks not 1 month or 45 days unless you see something i might have missed

The order in registering a marriage at the diplomatic or consular office is as follows:

After receiving the dossier and fee, the diplomatic or consular office shall check the dossier, and if necessary, discuss with the offices concerned in Vietnam.

Within 30 days after receiving the official request from the diplomatic or consular office, the offices concerned at home must give their answer in writing; if further verification is needed, the time limit may be extended but by not more than 15 days.

If the person concerned is judged qualified for the marriage and the registration of the marriage is not at variance with the laws of the receiving country, the head of the diplomatic or consular office shall sigh the marriage certificate.

Within 7 days after signing the marriage certificate, the diplomatic or consular office shall deliver the marriage certificate to the person concerned and register it in the Marriage Register unless otherwise requested by the person concerned about the time-limit.

Both sides must be present and produce their passports, or other valid papers as substitutes.
