@Liam2021 Did I do myself a disservice by not attaching Dinh Hon photos to my packet? Since a decision will be made even before the interview.

I just recently submitted my I-129F application, and I had a question about the unofficial requirement for a Dinh Hon/Dam Hoi/Engagement Party for the HCMC Consulate. I did not frontload or attach any engagement party photos/evidence with my I-129F application out of fear that it would look too much like a wedding to USCIS. I have heard that the HCMC/Vietnamese Embassy usually have a decision made even before the interview actually starts.

 

Did I do myself a disservice by not attaching Dinh Hon Evidence to my I-129F application? Or will it be fine to bring this evidence to the interview when that day comes (even if the consulate may have already made a pre-determined decision before the interview).

Thank you!
