I chose to use one because I had everything come up so quick because of my request for expedite went though and they only gave me 3 weeks from the time they gave me the interview letter to the time of the interview and I didn't feel comfortable doing everything myself like the medical exam within the 3 weeks so I went ahead and hired a place. Everything came up so fast whenever we got the interview letter that I am sort of glad we used them. But I know for a fact a bunch of people on here got pink with just doing everything themselves without assistants from Van Phong Dich Vu. I can name a handful of these people. Everycase is different though even though I got my pink already I am glad used one because it's kinda better to have piece of mind to do it. The place only charged me like $30 USD so it was cheap and I didn't mind.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    THANK YOU. CAN YOU GIVE US THE ADDRESS OF THE PLACE OR TELEPHONE NUBERSTO CONSIDER PLEASE?

    Hey, did you end up using the service Dai recommended??

  2. Hey you guys…something I’ve been curious about…Have many of you guys hired a Dich Vu for your wife or fiancé and is it worth it?? And when hiring a Dich Vu, would you hire one in the city you wife or fiancé lives in or in Ho Chi Minh City?? Thanks, Long.

  3. Here's my experience getting married in Vietnam:

    My understanding is that getting your mental exam done in US won't matter with So Tu Phap. They will require you to get it (re)done at the HCM mental health hospital (located right off the East West Highway). I also forgo getting my certificate/affidavit of single status in the US and instead got the affidavit directly from US Consulate. Paid $50. Simple and quick. With those two docs in hand, we followed the instructions on the marriage paperwork and submitted it to So Tu Phap. From start to finish, it was about 5 weeks. Thus, if you're going to get married in VN, give yourself 4-6 weeks to complete your marriage certificate.

    Hope this helps.

    I got my mental exam done in the US and had no problems and didn't have to re do another one in Vietnam...also, it was my family doctor, so a lot cheaper than going through a specialist

  4. so wait the minute isn't the affidavit of single status the same as the no marriage records? If so then why can't I just called the Vital Record and get an affidavit of single status paper and have the secretary of stated to notarized the paper and bring it back there? Wouldn't that work? Also can I take the mental test here in the US or do I have to take it over there?

    I believe that's the same thing...I got my single status paper from the County Cllerk and had it notarized by the SOS as well. As for the mental test, I just went to my family doctor for a routine checkup and had him sign it...

  5. Count me in as being confused too.

    My wife tried to submit the DS 2001 and DS 230 today at the HCMC Consulate and the front desk person said (I'll withhold detailing her rudeness, typical of Vietnamese employees) to submit on the day of interview. Huh?

    So is the email notice from NVC with appointment date THE appointment letter? It had a "P4" to the right of the barcode as well.

    Hope someone can help clarify this for us.

    any clarification on this?? thanks!!

  6. just curious what the chat with the translator was about...was it questions in Viet? or just a friendly chat...and if so, why did it have to be translated?? thanks, Long.

  7. Mine will be a month next wednesday..an my time frame is end of se_tember to first week of october waiting for noa2...lord i want my husband here with me..lol

    ok so lil side chat..last night i had a mini melt down crying fit becuz all these damn denials coming out of jamaica have me stressed :crying: ..so anyway i asked hubby what is our backu_ _lan if he gets denied...he said its to soon to worry about that an were not gonna get denied..WRONG ANSA!!!! anyway i was just looking for a little reassurance on his end..so i had a crying fit...this LDR at times really takes a toll on me...

    Can anyone else relate?lol

    I think I can say I relate...I heard Vietnam is very strict on these, and after explaining my situation with others, people say I will have a hard time...because basically I married on the first "official" visit, after my uncle introduced us...so the lack of evidence worries me
