Hi all,

As we will getting married in Vietnam, we will have to cancel our k-1 and do cr-1 later on.

The question i have is that, i heard vietnam requires the US person to prove that he/she is Single before they can file for marriage certificate.

How can i go about doing that? does anyone know which form/where to go for it?

Thanks all.

Hi, My fiancee went to Cho Ray Hospital (CRH), Visa Medical Unit for her medical exam. She did some tests there. We want to know if we can still switch to The International Organization for Migration (IOM)to redo all the tests.

have anyone done this before?

Hi All,

We received package 3; filled out ds-160 and sent them back two weeks ago. We also paid visa Fee.

Do we need to wait for package 4 or something like that before we can schedule an appointment?

is there package 4 anymore? does anyone has package 4 that would like to share what it looks like?

Thanks and Regards,

I received the reply from Consular :

"Please note that the consular officer has the authority to extend the validity of a petition if processing time exceeds the original validity."

Does that mean I don't have to do anything?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi All,

Our k-1 Visa is approved for 09/23/14 to 01/22/2015.

However, we plan to schedule our interview in Feb.

Is there anything I need to do?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

You mentioned package 3 is needed for medical exam, then later on you mentioned to schedule medical exam before package 3? so i can schedule the exam without package 3?

Thanks for your help.

Jan is what i am shooting for. I am just making sure it is not messing up any processes to schedule the appointment ahead of time.

Hi all

My fiancee completed her ds-160 and paid visa fee.

NVC status shows "READY"

after the visa fee paid, we received email below:

From: <no-reply@ustraveldocs.com>
Date: Mon, Nov 3, 2014 at 3:16 PM
Subject: MRV Fee Receipt Activated

Receipt number has been activated and you can now schedule an appointment at http://www.ustraveldocs.com/vn

my question is, since we haven't receive the package 3 yet, it should be here within this week, can we still go ahead with the scheduling now?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

Today, The status on the page is updated, but it is still pointing me to the link for non K1 Visa information, is that normal? My fiancee should be expecting Package 3 soon right? is there anything else I can do in the mean time?

Thanks All

Status "Ready"

Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section. If you have already scheduled an appointment for an interview, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the consulate on the appointed date and time. Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment. Additional information about how Immigrant Visa interview appointments are scheduled can be found at:

http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/immigrate/immigrant-process/interview/prepare.html

checking if anyone got the same thing with their NVC status for K-1.

Thanks for the answer.

I have one more question please.

The link from the status page take me to : http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3177.html

On here, it mentions to fill out DS-260 online.

I thought for K1 Visa, we need to do DS-160 right?

Hi All,

I filled for K-1 Visa, 129F, got NOA2 09/23.

Today I called NVC and got my case number.

Went to the website to check status; I thought K-1 Visa is non immigrant visa so i went to that option first but it couldn't find my case number.

Then i selected Immigrant visa option and was able to look up my case number.

Is this correct?

Thanks All

Thanks for the help everyone.

"What IS an option is go to the US on the K1, get quickly legally married in the court house, apply for AOS, then once she has her EAD and travel permit"

Let say we get approved in Dec for K1 and she travels to US right away and fill out all the forms, will travel permit be done by Feb?

since there are many "fake" cases in Vietnam, we figure it would be best to plan and mention to them about our traditional wedding in Vietnam during the interview.

Regards,

do you know which country? for Vietnam, the traditional wedding is important for my fiance. We don't want to wait until after our marriage to fill the papers that is why we are doing K1 so she can be here sooner.

Hi All,

We are working on our K1 Visa; already received NOA2 and waiting for paper works at NVC forwarded to Vietnam.

We are also planning to have a traditional wedding for our friends and families in February.

Is it safe to mention this at the Interview or should my fiance hide it?

Thanks for all the help.

Regards,
