Questions for Landy

[Bruce and Han 0]

Hi Lan and Andy,

I thought it would be good for all of us to start a question thread direted to you since you just sucssefully completed your interview. I know Dalegg is getting bombarded with alot of questions latley. I am taking you up on your offer to help answer some basic questions.

1. How long did it take to get your (Ly Lich Tu Phap) police report? Scy said it had taken his fiancee 3 weeks to obtain. If this is the normal time frame, there is not much time between packet 4 and interview date.

2. Exactly what documents need to be translated to english? House registration book, Police report, Single paper, Birth certificate.

3. Can the translation be done at any govenment office in Vietnam, or only specific location were the documents were handed out? Am I clear on this?

Thats all I have at this time, Thanks so much for your help.

I have a reply to question #1. I just talked to my fiancee and she said it will take 2 weeks to get the police report.

Police Certificate Question:

I also have a question regarding the police report, At what point should my fiancee go to the justice office to file for this, and do they have the paper that needs filled out or will this be provided in packet 3?

I really don't think it is too early to start gathering these documents in Vietnam. My fiancee will travel to Can Tho next week to put in the request for the police certificate and the single status certification. In Vietnam there is no time frame. What one experienced time wise, could be completely different for you. These people here work on their own idea of time. Just remember, a little money can sometimes get things done faster. That is just my experience from livnig/working here for nearly a year.

Get all the documents now (you know they are required). Then you will know later exactly what to have translated.

Just my two cents! I think we are all kind of in the dust on a lot of this. Do what you can NOW and then let the questions find answers.

Hi Han and Bruce,

It took me 4 weeks to have my polic report and i did it right after i got the packet 3.

Only the household registeration and the ID card (chung minh nhan dan) don't need to be translated. All other documents like police report, birth certificate, single status statement, ... have to be translated.

The US consulate accepts the translation from Notary Office in HCMC. They mention Notary Office #1 (Phong Cong Chung so 1) in their website as the place you can have your translation

Good luck on your journey

Here is some valuable information that I received through personal message fron Lan and Andy. I had sent them a message to further clarify some of the document questions we had. I wanted to share it all with you.

"Hi STL_HCMC,

This is Lan, Andy's sweetheart

I got 3 translated copies for each document.

You just need to bring the original copy of the documents you want to translate to the Notary Office. Make some copies of them. Suppose you want to have 3 translated copies, you need to give them 4 copies. They will keep 1 copy for evidence, the other 3 copies they will attach them to the translated copies with notarized stamps.

I got the police certificate and single status statement right after receiving packet 3. But it's ok to get these papers sooner too since they are valid for a year (and that is what required from US consulate too: the documents need to be obtained within the past year to the interview date)

###### luck to you two in the incoming interview

Hello Lan and Andy,

I have a Question Regarding the MEDICAL EXAM

DO you know if the exam has to be done in HCMC, or can my fiancee who lives in Hanoi go to the IOM in Hanoi? I wasn't sure if your instructions specifically stated it must be done in HCMC.

Thanks,

Mike & Huong

Hi Mike and Huong,

I am not sure if HCMC consulate accept the doctors from Hanoi.

What i know is we have to have the medical exam from the approved doctors. And for HCMC consulate, they approve doctors from Cho Ray and IOM in HCMC

You can send email or call them to ask for information.

Good luck to you

Landy,

Were you requiered to have the irs1722 form or was the W2 and 1040 sufficiant enough? I will not be using a co-sponsor, so I am thinking that the irs1722 is only requested if using a co-sponsor.
