Do not worry too much  Your wife can bring additional evidence to the interview and based on my experience, most of people I have known who got interviewed with Ho Chi Minh City Consulate did not include much evidences at I-130 or NVC stage.  

 

Having a kid (from love) will not make anything worse. Although the pregnancy alone cannot be the primary evidence, it will help.  If your kid will be born before the interview, prepare a trip to Vietnam and help the kid obtain citizenship and passport  

 

Thanks. My baby will be born right around the interview time. But we will ask to have an interview after to avoid the x-ray. Do you know how long it would take to schedule an appoint with embassy to get my baby a citizenship? I'm planning to stay about a month after my baby was born.

Hi my case was approved since August 24 and I called NVC for the third time again on September 17 and they told me they have not received my case. It’s been four weeks on to five weeks already.

  

Maybe it’s depends on individual service centers on how long they takes to send over the cases. Is anyone else experiencing this long wait for case transfer? 

 

Thank you for your response!

My case was approved on the same date. NVC got my case, it's still waiting to enter to their system. My case was sent from Texas office.

Im in the same boat.  I gave my attorney 18 pics of us together when he sent off the i130.  Should’ve added other things.

I'm sure they will ask for the Timeline. I've read a lot of cases where CO request for Timeline, more pictures, air tickets billing, ect

The only proof of a marriage is the marriage certificate.  The rest is evidence of a relationship.

 

What you're asking about is called side loading.  You can certainly do this if you didn't front load at the USCIS.  The CO legally doesn't have to look at any evidence added after the I-130 but often will look at evidence provided before interview.  Vietnam has a few interesting things you should look at your country timeline about (like a timeline of relationship.)  IMHO I would side load vs waiting for interview to present evidence.  I cannot stress how many times I've seen posts related to the fact people waited until interview to present evidence that the CO refused to look at or didn't care about. 

It's a reason why i want to send to NVC first, so they could include timeline and evidence to my package. I hope once NVC approve it, they will mail everything to Vietnam. 

Hi, my case was approved by USCIS on 08/13/18. However, we didn't send any proof of our relationship to USCIS 6 months ago. The more i read about my wife's case,  they will ask for more proof of relationship at the interview. Can i send pictures, phone bills, air tickets to NVC? So when it comes to the interview date, they won't ask for it again. Has anyone here done it before? thanks.

Send as much evidence as you can to the NVC.

 

When you filed the I-130 for your wife, you are saying that you are husband and wife.  They expect you to send in supporting documents with the I-130 to USCIS.  This is in the instructions for the I-130 which almost every Vietnamese couple ignores.  

 

The US Consulate is required to review documents sent in with the I-130 petition and DS-260 visa application.  They are not obligated to look at anything brought to the interview for the first time.  

sigh... I used the agent to fill my I-130, they didn't tell me to include any evidence at all to USCIS. My case was approved somehow. Are you filling for your spouse from Vietnam also?

It's important to show the evolution of your relationship.  Pictures from trips together.  Messages sent back and forth.  Financial paperwork.  Bank, retirement, insurance beneficiary forms with your wife's name.

 

 3 piles:  1.  Things from meeting to marriage.  2. Things from getting married.  3.  Things after getting married.

Sadly, I know a VN woman who husband has failed the interview twice.  They did it on their own and failed to submit evidence to support their marriage.  All they had was the marriage certificate and affidavits from family and friends.  No plane tickets.  No financial documents.  Few pictures.  

  

i didn't submit any evidences to USCIS. Is it normal to send it together with the Civil package to NVC?

Of course there's a chance she could be denied. No visa is ever guaranteed.

 

If you are asking whether the pregnancy will cause a denial, then it won't. If you are relying on the pregnancy as your sole/main source of evidence of a bona fide marriage, it won't be enough. 

What other strong evidences should we show to them at the interview?

Yes, you are allowed to attend with your fiance in HCM city.  I attended with my fiance in May.  I was waved through without showing any ID, but you should bring your passport.  

lol, cause you are white, they don't need to see your passport. 

My wife is pregnant and will be due around the interview time. My case was approved on 08/13 by USCIS. We filed joint married tax return last year. Is there any chance she may get denied? 

my priority date was 02/09/18, it was approved by USCIS on 08/13/18. What do i do next? 

I got a text said my G-28 form got rejected. is my case still okay?

Hi Poh, when did you submit this timeline? Was it for USCIS or US embassy in Vietnam? Thanks.

Hi all,

I met a girl twice in Vietnam. I'm planning to get married with her in December. we are both single. I already had the single certificate status signed by county clerk. What else do i need to prepare before heading to Vietnam. Someone on google told me I have to send tons of paper to Vietnam embassy in DC to legalization document marriage registration. Please help me, im lost. 

Thanks

Just called, 8/19

I forgot to ask the time. How long does it take to get email?

I got email right after I hung up my phone

Interview scheduled on 08/04/2014 at 8:30. Call now Bruins and Bduong89

Can you please fill out the Case Complete form in my signature so I can add you to the spreadsheet. Thank you.

Done

Where is Vietnam interview scheduling!!!!

It should be this week man. I've been waiting over a month now.

no interview yet since May 20th. It sucks mang

The reason that I ask is because you need the interview appointment letter to get a medical and the last thing I want is to not have a slot opened before interview.

Im not worry about it's full man. If it was full, I'll give them extra $10-$20, they will put my name on top of the list. Money talk man, that's how it works in Vietnam.

Dwheels - do you know how soon doctors can get you in for medicals in Vietnam?

As long as you have $$$, you are the first one in the line haha. From some people that I know, their case was completed early in May and their interview is around Mid July. We gotta wait until August man

Congrats to all the approved visas!!! I'm still waiting for my interview to be scheduled.

are you planning to call them soon???

Well .... atleast they are still scheduling July interviews. That gives me some hope. Just called in to see if they have issued an interview date for my cases and the answer was NO. So I thought I might as well should ask them if they are still schduling July interviews and the answer was YES. So really hope to hear something good this week.

My case was completed on May 20th, but they said no interview date yet. it sucks man
