Everything is a success for us.

Hi everyone,

Through many heartache situations, my wife and I finally have reunited in the States. What I did after getting the blue slip requesting for more evidence and timeline letter were:

1. Went to Vietnam on 10/08/07.

2. Sworn in in front of an officer at the USC Service Center of the Consulate on the letter providing detail and truthful timeline and information about our relationship, submitted the letter and additional evidences personally, waited for almost 4 hours and got the approval for the visa on 10/10/07.

3. We then obtained the visa together on 10/18/07.

4. We both arrived in the States on 10/22/07.

Except for the lengthy process at LAX and missed flight due to the same reason, everything is going great for both of us. My wife is getting settle in. We are both very happy and living a great newly marriage life together. Our next steps will be

1. Preparing for a secondary wedding here in the States (since all my family members and friends are here).

2. Waiting for the conditional green card and SSN card.

3. Prepare our life together and looking forward for the next step in removing the condition on my wife's green card.

I just want to say thank you to each and everyone here on the website who have helped and supported me in my petition process. I guess I will be following some of you in my next process of I-751.

Again, thanks very much everyone.

I am waiting on packet 4 and i want to make sure Tram has eveything she needs to avoid a blue slip for evidence.

I am curious what evidence you submitted the first time that they gave you a blue slip? Can you tell me everything you gave them so i can see if i have enough?

What evidence did you add after the blue slip?

Thanks!

On the first time, we submitted A LOT OF EVERYTHING we had ranging from wedding pictures, personal pictures, phone histories, and chat logs. Everything was in thick piles. The CO did not take much time to look at any of the evidence especially the pictures. They used most of the time for questioning. They asked my wife around 22 questions in total. At the end of the interview, they retained the phone histories and chat logs and returned all pictures with a blue slip stating not enough evidence and requesting for a sworn statement of timeline from the petitioner. With all of the evidences that we had, we were pretty sure we were in for good. But it was not enough.

On the second time, we had all the pictures (since those were not looked at previously) again with some more of phone histories, chat logs, and personal pictures taken together as well as with her family members during our normal family activities (cooking, eating, hanging out...). And the most important of all (in my opinion) are my personal appearance in document submission, my detail/professional and sincere timeline statement, and the fact that the statement was sworn in at the Consulate.

In genenral, I think it is very hard now a day petition for love one in Vietnam due to frauds. As the result, the first interview will be just a time for brief dicovery about the relationship. Unless the case is special, solid, and so obvious (many visit before the petition process together with reasonable and significant amount of evidence in communication and continuing of the relationship), it is definitely all about how far will a couple go to prove their bona fide relationship. I don't think the Consulate would want to have anything against any couple. They just want to make sure the relationship is bona fide. If you come to the Consulate to see it for yourself, the COs are very busy and have many cases to handle each day. Put yourself into their shoe and get a feel for what they might be expecting from your relationship and case. It is a lenghty and frustrated process. However, if it is real, you will know what to do from your heart. Remember, being patient, calm, truthful, sincere, consistence, and professional are the keys.

Above just applied to my case, of course each case might be different. Hope mine helps.

Thanks for the reply!

I'm hoping that all the evidence i will provide will be more than enough. I guess time will tell!
