Of course there's a chance she could be denied. No visa is ever guaranteed.

 

If you are asking whether the pregnancy will cause a denial, then it won't. If you are relying on the pregnancy as your sole/main source of evidence of a bona fide marriage, it won't be enough. 

Timeline in brief:

Married: September 27, 2014

I-130 filed: February 5, 2016

NOA1: February 8, 2016 Nebraska

NOA2: July 21, 2016

Interview: December 6, 2016 London

POE: December 19, 2016 Las Vegas

N-400 filed: September 30, 2019

Interview: March 22, 2021 Seattle

Oath: March 22, 2021 COVID-style same-day oath

 

Now a US citizen!

What other strong evidences should we show to them at the interview?

It's important to show the evolution of your relationship.  Pictures from trips together.  Messages sent back and forth.  Financial paperwork.  Bank, retirement, insurance beneficiary forms with your wife's name.

 

3 piles:  1.  Things from meeting to marriage.  2. Things from getting married.  3.  Things after getting married.

Sadly, I know a VN woman who husband has failed the interview twice.  They did it on their own and failed to submit evidence to support their marriage.  All they had was the marriage certificate and affidavits from family and friends.  No plane tickets.  No financial documents.  Few pictures.

Send as much evidence as you can to the NVC.

 

When you filed the I-130 for your wife, you are saying that you are husband and wife.  They expect you to send in supporting documents with the I-130 to USCIS.  This is in the instructions for the I-130 which almost every Vietnamese couple ignores.  

 

The US Consulate is required to review documents sent in with the I-130 petition and DS-260 visa application.  They are not obligated to look at anything brought to the interview for the first time.

sigh... I used the agent to fill my I-130, they didn't tell me to include any evidence at all to USCIS. My case was approved somehow. Are you filling for your spouse from Vietnam also?

No.

 

Lots of family and friends still immigrating.  I help them with the process.  It used to be close family.  They brought children and spouses over.  Now those distant family members are bringing their relatives who I am not related to.

Do not worry too much :) Your wife can bring additional evidence to the interview and based on my experience, most of people I have known who got interviewed with Ho Chi Minh City Consulate did not include much evidences at I-130 or NVC stage.  

 

Having a kid (from love) will not make anything worse. Although the pregnancy alone cannot be the primary evidence, it will help.  If your kid will be born before the interview, prepare a trip to Vietnam and help the kid obtain citizenship and passport :)

Thanks. My baby will be born right around the interview time. But we will ask to have an interview after to avoid the x-ray. Do you know how long it would take to schedule an appoint with embassy to get my baby a citizenship? I'm planning to stay about a month after my baby was born.
