My wife's parents just got their interview date for June 27 in HCMC Vietnam. For the courier service to get the Visa delivered after the interview, does anyone know where to go to fill this info out or do we not need to worry?

I went to USTravelDocs website but not sure if this is the correct place to go... http://www.ustraveldocs.com/vn/vn-iv-addressregistration.asp

I know it sucks to wait so long to get your significant other approved for his/her NOA2. It seems like ages but since you have no RFEs, than it will happen sooner than later. Looking at my timeline, it took 174 days for the NOA2 and 287 for the interview. The govt. is very slow with these kind of things but patience is key.

For all the iphone owners, I found an USCIS APP, where you can check your status everytime you want...very helpfull!!! I dont know if it works for other types of cellphones....

This works with Android as well. Thanks for the heads up.

Well, my wife got her AP letter in the mail yesterday and this morning, we got the the NOA1 for the EAD. Thank God I received the EAD b/c of my screw up and makes me feel better she can start working middle of November after our Catholic wedding.

Ok I called USCIS and they said it was suppose to go to Chicago like ama said. However, the lady said to wait 30 days from the time of sending the package to call again if I didn't receive a notice. I was also told NOT to resend the package to Chicago because I could have two pending cases. Hopefully Vermont will forward my package to Chicago.

According to the Instructions for C9 which I applied for, it said the Vermont lockbox. I guess I will call USCIS today or tomorrow to see if I have to resend the package, or what can be done.

On August 14th, I sent in form I-765 (Employment Authorization)and have yet to hear back from Immigration via Email/text if they have gotten or started processing the document. The package was successfully delivered to the Vermont office and still patiently waiting to find out something. Should I call this Thursday if I don't hear anything from them to check on the status of EAD?

One last question before mailing off the package tomorrow. Is the Vermont Service Center the address I need to send this to? Just making sure since that is what it says in the instructions.

One last question, for question 16 on Form I-765, what do I need to fill in here because on the form we put ©(9) for "pending Form I-485 that was filed with he VSC based on this petition". Is this correct because I am not sure what to place here if it isn't.

Thank you... nice to read I don't have to pay the fee. Also, will my wife need to get new passport photos made to send in with the package as well?

This past July I filed for AoS (I-485 only) and currently my wife is taking nail classes to get her license. She will be done in either October or November and knowing how slow CSC is right now with processing Green Cards, I was wondering if it is OK to send in the form I-765 now along with the $380 fee. I am planning on calling USCIS tomorrow and see what they have to say as well. Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated

Well, Yuan's AoS was transferred to the CSC. Let the waiting game begin!!!!!!!!

My fiancee's AoS was transferred to CSC on July 31 as well.

Congrats to the both of you!!

Got a letter in the mail today that my wife will have her biometrics exam on August 7th.

I got the email/text on Friday, July 13th. Another "long wait"

I sent my package out on July 5 and was received on July 8. Still no NOA1 but waiting to here from them soon

Well I called the 1-800 number today and gave them my fiancee's reference number. The lady said it could take 4-5 weeks to get the card. Does this sound about right? This Thursday, I meet with the Catholic priest who can speak both English & Vietnamese to find out more on what we have to do before we get married.

It can take a few weeks to get the ssn. The time frame should be listed on the paperwork you got at poe.

My fiancee didn't get any paperwork after she passed through customs.

I went to the Social Security office last Monday and Uyen was not in their system since it was only one week since she arrived. So the lady gave me a letter stating to come back in 4 weeks if I haven't heard anything or received the card in the mail. However, Uyen's uncle insisted I take her this coming Tuesday morning on my day off nd try again to see if she is in the system. Should I call the 1-800 number and try to ask them, go back to the SS office, or hold off a little while longer. I know Uyen's uncle will ask me if I took her Tuesday and I do want her to get the SSN, but not sure what to do now??

Uyen will keep her Vietnamese name and I think we are planning for a June wedding. Being apart from her right now isn't too bad. I usually see her on a daily basis though.

Is it OK to go ahead and file for her SSN so soon? On the website, it asks for US Immigration documents but customs kept the brown package she received with her Visa. What documents will she need to bring to the Social Security office?

Well, my fiancee was able to come home with me on May 7th! Things are doing pretty good and of course she seems overwhelmed with everything. She is currently living with her uncle and his family until we get married (since she is Catholic). It's too bad he lives 20 minutes away from my house so I normally have to pick her up in the mornings on my days off and drop her off in the evenings in time for supper. She is a very picky eater (no American food) so we will see how that goes. I did take her to a local mall and she got a shirt and body lotion which she seems to enjoy.

Congrats on your fiancee getting her Visa!! Hope everything goes well in the future for both of you

One question, is the embassy suppose to give back the medical records after the interview is finished because I never saw it. Or will it come in the EMS package once it gets delivered? My fiancee will need the medical records to get through customs.

Nevermind she found it. Can we start calling the Embassy after Day 5 to track the package?

My passport was valid to enter Japan but when I tried to board the plane for HCMC, that is when I got rejected. I already had my travel visa in hand so that wasn't the problem. I did have to pay $35 in HCMC to get a new Visa and they did it within 5 minutes. I am just glad I got into the country, because the next day was my fiancee's interview and I had the Package 4 documents with me.
