US Immigration from Vietnam

Hi! I was wondering if anyone has recently (or in the last few years), have had their K-1 Fianc e Interview at the U.S. Consulate/Embassy in HCMC, South Vietnam. I'm preparing a list of 100 questions to go over with my Fianc e and I hope to prepare her as best as possible.

The HCMC Embassy is one of the strictest embassies in the world due to the high volume of cases, and high cases of fraud (VN nationals paying to get a green card/spouses leaving after getting permanent residency). My fianc e doesn't speak English and me being a Vietnamese-American am trying to prepare her for even the most difficult questions possible.

Thank you so much!

when i sponsor my wife to the usa which i was successful my lawyer informed me that we would need my wifes ex husbands written consent to file a form for my wifes daughter also.

i went on ahead and just did it for my wife and she is now in the usa with a 10 year visa. is it possible for my wife to sponsor her own daughter without the fathers consent??

my wife has full custody of her daughter in the divorce papers. the ex husband does not help take care financially or anything. she is 12yo

This is really topic for all K1 in Viet Nam "HCM consulate" try to getting the interview appointment slot. (I'm sure all other counties the same too)

Does anyone know how many times a day you can check for the slot before got locked out for 72 hours ?

When is the slot normal posted or open ? I just don't understand the system at all ?

My wife received an email with her interview appointment at Ho Chi Minh US Consulate but we haven't received an interview letter in the mail. The email says we need to bring the letter to her medical exam and to the interview. Do we just print the email and bring to both appointment?

I (Vietnamese-American (M)) am currently in the process of submitting my I-129F application to USCIS for my Vietnamese national fianc e (F).

My fianc e's parents would like to have a religious tea ceremony as soon as possible in Vietnam. Under Vietnamese law, Vietnam does not recognize a wedding as a legal (bona fide) marriage unless there is a valid marriage certificate or document on file with the government. Is USCIS knowledgeable in the laws for a specific country (Vietnam)? If I were to go through with filing a I-129F instead of a I-130, will USCIS be following Vietnamese law, or can they still deny us on their own account for being "too married" regardless if it was bona-fide or not.

Essentially, if my fianc e and I have a big ceremony for all of her family and friends (and mine as well, as we are both Vietnamese), but do not file for a marriage certificate (non bona-fide marriage), will we still be fine for a K-1 Fianc e Visa? Or will we be denied and would have to petition/start all over.

Thank you so much!
