OH!! did not know about the "printing visa problem" - will follow-up

Hi Everyone

1) VISA - my fiancé was told that since the backlog and delays with the VISA printing, it will be 7 - 10 days for the VISA to be delivered to her home. I believe the typical statement is 5 - 7 days…so they added a few days. i guess. don't know for certain. anyway this step is done. will get ticket once VISA is in her hand.

2) questions:

a) have you ever apply for VISA to go to US before? if so, what reason?

=> she had applied to go to US college a few years back, but was not approved

b) how did you 2 meet?

=> standard to your specific case

c) how many times did he visited you in Vietnam and where?

=> standard to your specific case

d) at what point did you know that he was the one and that you love him, to marry him?

=> as per her answer

e) what was the date of your engagement? and where did it took place?

=> standard to your specific case - last fall at her parents' home

f) did any of his relatives came to the engagement ? have you met any of his relatives?

=> yes, i had 4 relatives came with me to meet everyone for the engagement

g) do you agree to marry him within 90 days of entering US?

=> yes.

=> everything they asked is directly from the detailed letters from both of us individually at original application and then another prior to interview and VISA application.

here is the process once my fiancé received the letter from the US Consulate

My fiancee registered and completed the process on their websites as per instruction from the US Consulate for K1 Visa applicants = Non-immigrant Visa Application.

all of the details & step-by-step instructions are here

=> http://www.ustraveldocs.com/vn/vn-niv-visaapply.asp

it has both English or Vietnamese language (choice is located upper right corner of webpage)

I talked & went thru this with her on the phone

- she completed the DS-160 - K1 Visa application thru a link from www.ustraveldocs.com

=> https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/

- confirmation of application submission - need for medical/appointment

- register to set up for a user account to link the application and for receipt to pay for the K1 Visa application in Vietnam

for Vietnam only => https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/SiteRegister?country=Vietnam&language=en_US

the main link allows you to pick the country of applicant

- then once paid & payment is entered into system by Vietnam bank/post office (24-72 hrs) then she went into her account and pick the date & time of interview

- confirmation of interview form - printed this - needed for medical exam & appointment

I reminded her to print extra or make copy of everything - keep in separate file folder as back up

I know this info is already been posted multiple times…just in case

Hope this helps those getting ready

Best regards

@sienna: Did your fiancee receive Packet 3 before completing the DS-160 form online? I've been waiting for the Packet 3 to be sent from the HCMC consulate but still haven't gotten it yet. I am wondering if we should go ahead and fill out form DS-160 per the instructions in the NVC letter that we received.

hi - sorry for late response

she waited for actual letter before completing the DS-160 form - but I see that you must have gotten it & completed/paid fee :-)

awesome!! Good Luck!!

Thank you, sienna.

Oh BTW, she just told me this morning that the only item that the person asked from her was the I-134 financial support form/documents.

I have send her everything in June - clipped or stapled and then divided by section - bought 2 of those pandeflex divider folders with the secure flap

#1) all documents - from copy of my petition, confirmation of receipt, time line of relationship (before and after engagement), communications with TSC, VSC, = usig the list from the US consulate = that's how I divided, since she was familiar with the list

#2) photos/all communication (emails, text, messages/calls): before engagement + after engagement

She knew where to go and gave him the documents and he looked at it and kept it

then asked those few questions

then congratulated her

explained about the VISA printing delay

advised her that her VISA will be arriving in 7-10 days

…hopefully, her VISA will arrive this week.

Best

Thanks for the additional info, sienna. Here's hoping that your fiancee will get her Visa this week as well.

We made our interview appt for 9/23 because we want to give them time to fix the Visa printing issue.

The earliest appt that we could get in was 9/5 but we didn't want to take any chances. I plan to fly to VN to go to the interview with her, wait for her Visa, then bring her back with me. All in one trip. Wish me luck! LOL
