Bring pictures to interview if any. Most important is with k-1 visa you get officially married in US before visa expires.

We used an available officent for $90. It's fast and no need to go through the slow court system.

Yeah. You will need social security number to apply for driver license, open bank account and such so best to get it as your spouse enters Port of entry but it's not detrimental that wasn't done early. Get it as soon as you can and let things work out itself. Since you didn't get it before marriage you saved yourself a trip to the Ssn office to update the name on the card. Let it fall where it may.

Ceremony is just a ceremony and unlike in other countries not an actually marriage. Its more like a party where you meet each member of your relatives and accept gifts then later family and friends gather to introduce the engaged couple and eat, drink and accept gifts and take lots of pictures with each person that came to see you.

In my opinion Marriage ceremony wouldn't count as a bona fida marriage. A actually legal Vietnamese marriage certification would count as bona fida. I had my marriage ceremony in Vietnam with my wife's family and friends. We didn't file any paperwork in Vietnam to register our marriage at the local government office. Once the wife arrived in US after 90 days we files for marriage license and officially got married in the US. Technically my wife isn't married in the eyes of the Vietnam government since paperwork wasn't filed there. She could marry another Vietnamese guy I suppose. Lol. Don't overthink it. K-1 would be your option if not officially married in Vietnam. At the k-1 visa interview they may ask you if you got engaged or had a ceremony. My wife answered that she was engaged and had a ceremony only. One requirement for k-1 visa is your Vietnamese wife submit a single status certificate saying she not married.

Just wondering your reason for sending your mom's birth certificate and her marriage certificate? Correct me if I am wrong, I believe the the sponsor's birth certificate would list your parents names showing family relationship.

I would imagine your marriage certificate is of value if you changed your maiden name and USCIS needs to cross-reference it to your name on the US passport and naturalization certificate. But as always its your decision call.

Sounds like they are questioning your past relationships/marriage. Provide whatever they ask best to your knowledge and ability.

Yes, my wife was trapped at home. She wanted to work so badly. Going to school especially if you are learning English helps. In your community there must be some sort of ESL program at local educational institution near you She met new friends from her country and other country and established business contacts. In one case she met a father of a business owner where she landed a job. I think although you can't work you can meet well rooted folks in the community that may be of great resource when you are legally allowed to work. My wife was tempted to start working as soon as she arrive US via K-1. In Vietnam, She knew a client that introduced her to a relative that owned a business in US. But tempting as it was, I made sure she didn't break law by starting employment without a EAD. The owner wasn't to happy about her now starting work at her business. I was upset with her knowing that she does not have EAD but was offered a job. Basically she is tempting her with work but jeopardizing her legal status. Watch out for people like these!! She was not too happy about it and eventually gave up hiring my wife. But eventually everything worked out and wife is working after receiving EAD. So what you are experiencing is not unique. We all are going through it. Just bear with it best you can. Good luck to you.

Honolulu Hawaii. Good luck to you.

If its under 18, you were charged differently and not as an adult. You were a juvenile when you were charged and won't effect your application. No worries. Juvenile records are sealed and unavailable outside of juvenile courts. US courts gives kids chances to correct themselves instead of ruining their lives. I know someone who at age 17 broke the law and got arrested and did fine in their immigration journey.

People like this making it difficult for other Vietnamese to immigrate to US. That's why Vietnam is considered high fraud country and honest Vietnamese people don't have it easy.
