good luck!!

mine was 124 days from nao1...so its coming!!

congrats!!

The thing that bugs me the most about this is that the Consulate does not give you the option to pick up the visa yourself or have it delivered through the mail courier. It's mail delivery only. Put that together with the bad mail system in VN and you could create a lot of trouble. Thu found out about this yesterday and does she have quite the imagination. She thinks that the Consulate is doing this intentionally. She thinks that a small percentage of the approved cases could have their passports/visas lost in the mail in an attempt to indirectly screw you one last time even though the case got a pink slip. I personally do not think there is any truth in this. Like I said, she has quite the imagination

Anyways, for now I am taking the optimistic point of view that the Consulate will prove me wrong and everything will be alright.

I have the same worry!!

congrats!! hopefully I'll get to have a thread like this someday...

any difficult questions?? or did they seem to waste her time and then eventually give the blue??

I am not being lazy Phil09 I'm just confuse with the government paper stuff. Mind you this is my first time getting married so I don't know what to do and this is oversea it more difficult. All this stuff just confuse me that all.

then maybe you should hire someone to help you, because if you make any mistakes, it may be costly to resend to the consulate and redo some steps

let us know how the interview goes...what is different this time around?? did u visit her more recently??

just got my text and email today!!! yesss!!!

congrats...did u frontload at all??

Fed Ex / UPS / DHL for anything important.

and that's from Vietnam to the U.S. correct?? I wasn't sure those options over there...

I've seen many topics on sending mail to Vietnam, but what services do you guys recommend for sending documents or packagaes from Vietnam?? I've sent letters to my wife and she recieves it within 2 weeks or so, but when she sent me a letter, it took over a month. I'm just worried when I need paperwork with her signature quickly, I can't wait a month for it.

Thanks in advanced, Long.

OMFG OMFG!!!! Email recieved, 1 of the 2 petitions has been approved!!!! woohoo!! 1 down 1 to go.

awesome to hear...hopefully mine will be soon!!

It is so frustrating being so close yet so far away :-)

agreeed...and this is only the first step...

LOL...Thanks tcTTct! I guess each case has it own uniqueness, that's why we are keep guessing on how the C/O thinks. I am so grateful for everything :-) Thank you Buddah and thank you everyone!!

Thank you Long& Kieu! :-) :-)

I hope I get that fortunate in the future!!

congrats!!

you have to send it all to get stamped by the consulate I believe

good luck!! did u frontload the evidence??

congrats!! you guys with pinks are giving me more and more hope, ehehe

congrats...I cant wait until I get to have that feeling

sorry to hijack, but I'm trying to understand this a bit...so a copy of the birth certificate as long as it's notarized is fine?? and everything has to be in English?? nothing has to be translated to Viet?? Thanks, Long

congrats!!

it believe it allows you to sign for someone else who isn't able to do it for themselves...for examnple if I had power of attorney for my wife, my signature would verify her consent

Hi All,

I am a June filer as well and have been waiting for NOA2 very patiently. Some time ago California Service Center was processing applications very fast but for the past 3 weeks or so they have become very slow and not processing alot of applications. Is it because it is end of fiscal year, I read it on forum somewhere that USCIS fiscal year ends in September. Is the quota up for this year? Any thoughts or info is appreciated. Thanks

I sure hope thats not true...

VJ guides and posts with uscis information is enough to do this. You do not need to hire someone.

I was thinking this moreso to help my wife over there with what she has to gather...she doesn't go to Ho Chi Minh often and I thought it would be a good idea to have someone help with the process on her end...

Dich Vu or "travel agent" that we used was worth it for us. The organization and paperwork organization was top notch. Good interview prep in Vietnamese for my SO too.

Where did you go?? How much was it?? Thanks, Long.
