    Should I fly to Vietnam for my Fiance's K1 interview?

    Hi all,

     

    New member, first post here.  Once travel restrictions are lifted and K1 interviews resume in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, do you recommend I fly there to be with my Fiance for her interview?   I've read mixed experiences and opinions on this.  I understand that they may not even allow me to stand next to her for the interview, but maybe it helps our case if the CO knows that I'm physically present?  I also read here about a couple that probably would have been denied if the USC did not "save" the interview.


    Thanks!

    I attended my wife’s interview I went to the window with her and they asked me if I was the  petitioner. They told me to be seated and they would call me back up if needed. The interview area is all open and no one was sitting in the seats at that window. I was able to hear every question and watch the interview. Look at my timeline if you want to see all the questions they asked her.

    I remember that feeling when we first started our journey! The journey can be long and very frustrating waiting for approvals! I couldn’t have done it without the help here on Visa Journey. Good luck to you! I don’t get on here often anymore, but you can PM if you need help.

    This morning I went with my wife for her N-400 interview. We had a pending I-751, when she was called the officer met us at Door 1. I immediately told him we had a pending I-751. His reply is I know, I need to see what evidence you have brought and I may not need you. I told him we had brought all originals on the N-400 list, divorce decree, birth certificate , marriage certificate and brought continuing evidence for the I-751. He said you can be seated in the lobby, she will do just fine. 
      He was very friendly, my wife emerged 35 minutes later, she had a huge smile on her face. He approved the I-751 and the N-400 on the spot and he said she would get her 10 year green card and oath letter in the mail. 
        She said he did not look at any evidence she brought, but he did look through the mound of paperwork I sent with her I-751.
     She said he did not ask her anything about the I-751 and moved straight to the N-400 interview. She said he was super nice and made her feel better because she was so nervous.

    My wife has been scheduled for N-400 interview September 6 in Houston. I’ve seen where one lady in Houston had her interview about 2 weeks ago with a pending I-751and she said that the officer told her she was only doing her N-400 and would review her I-751 later and make a decision, she is still waiting. I seen  a couple others in other cities, somewhat the same scenario, they had there N-400 scheduled then cancelled because the I-751 paperwork had not made it to the local office. Then they were rescheduled waiting for there new interview. So what I did was contacted the USCIS for outside the normal processing times for my wife’s I-751 case which has had no movement in 532 days. There response was a generic sorry it’s taking so long. We cannot give you an update on when we will adjudicate the I-751. I replied with we have a pending N-400 can you please send the I-751 to Houston so we can have a combo interview. That was this afternoon, let’s see what the response will be.

    Update I never got a response back from the original email, but today we got an update on the I-751 case transferred and new office has jurisdiction. I wonder was it a push from my email or coincidence. You be the judge.

    Hopefully nobody is still waiting aside from those of us who applied for N400. Anyone making any progress with transfers or getting a combo interview scheduled?

    I checked the 5 cases before and the 5 cases after mine - 2 are in the same waiting status as me, 1 had an RFE, 3 have been transferred and the rest approved.

     

    I wish the waiting got easier, but just today I've seen a few January 2018 filers got approvals and honestly it just makes me want to cry.
