Vietnamese: How to put a Vietnamese address on the NVC application

[SilverLake 40]

Hello Visajourney members,

 

My mom's case is at the NVC stage now. I'm filling out her info on the US Department of States website (form DS - 260). Her address in Vietnam contains a splash "/" in the address (ie, 42 / 8  Tran Phu St, Ward 4, Vinh Long City, Vietnam), but apparently the form on the NVC website does not allow "/" in the address field. Ironically it allows "?" ,"-", ";" instead. So my questions is, for those you are petitioning someone in Vietnam, how did you put their address (especially with a splash "/") on the NVC form?

 

Thanks ton!!!!!

Thank you, but how do they mail the interview notice letter (if there is even one)? How do they contact the beneficiary to let them know the interview date?

Ok great. That's good to know. I'm still paranoid about important notice getting lost in the mail from my experience with USCIS in the last couple years lol

NVC stopped using postal service as the primary communication method about a decade ago

Try again.   This discusses the ending of processing sent inbound postal mail TO NVC.  This should not be confused with how NVC communicates outbound, which has primarily been email for a decade or so.

Use the hyphen.  

The NVC does everything by email and online through the CEAC.  The interview letter is online.  

At the interview, you mom can confirm her address for local courier delivery of her passport and visa.  The courier will know what to do make the delivery.
