Hoping to get an idea of what's getting scheduled and how far from an NVC CC interview was given.

Unfortunately I can not currently contribute any data to this thread but will as soon as I receive an interview date. Please post your if you're received your interview date at HCMC.

Ah, I did, and forgot to get back to this. I should re-title it "May" though. had my CC Feb 5th and now interview scheduled for May 11th. Pretty hefty gap of time compared to other consulates it seems.

Howdy Luukee,

I've actually been in Vietnam since mid Feb. No physical packet yet but they did send a PDF of the invitation letter. From what I've read I can print that out and get medical and vaccines taken care of. They are supposed to send the physical letter to your spouse in Vietnam though, yeah.

Too awesome obrakeo, thanks for the info - as long as we don't have to worry about any physical mail (except for the Visa), then that's going to be too cool :) I would hate to hear that they sent something to her house and she never received it.

where abouts are you in VN? I wish I was there now, lots of fun just walking around town.

I miss having the Banh Bao Nuong from Hy Lam Mon Bakery. They're the only ones that make it -- if you're in Saigon, and in district 5, swing by there and eat one for me :) it's located on Nguyen tri Phuong and Nguyen Trai (roughly)....

thanks again for the reply.

No problem, here is the actual text from the document you should be receiving via email with some stuff changed of course:

March 24, 2015
Dear BENEFICIARY,
The National Visa Center (NVC) completed the domestic pre-processing of the immigrant visa petition
HCM2014###### filed by PETITIONER on behalf of BENEFICIARY. The NVC will now
forward the petition to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM for a visa interview.
This letter serves as formal notification of the visa interview. SAVE this letter and present it to the U.S. Embassy
or Consulate guard/receptionist at the time of the interview.
So a printout of this document should be all you need I'd assume.
I'm in Nha Trang. Was just chatting with my wife about that bakery and she is familiar with it. She attended university in Saigon. Heading there next week for medical so I'll try and stop by to pick up some Banh Bao Nuong. After I pick up what I consider the best pizza on the planet in the Japanese area of district 1 at Pizza 4P of course, haha.

Thanks obrakeo, but did your letter actually tell you when your interview is?

Cool man - hehhe..I had a chance to try the 4p, it was very good, but seats are always limited
