In case anyone is wondering finally got it out of AP last week.

No but then it is not a big deal. Not sure about people from other communities/countries but for Vietnam, I say it is very rare that people submit financial joint evidences (including will, 401k, authorized user for Credit Card, medical insurance, etc.).  The consulate will put their focus on physical face-time (how many time the petitioner visits and for how long).

 

Also K-1 couples and newly wedded CR-1 couples are not expected to have these kind of things.  

 

Edited: my ex (K-1) and my wife (CR-1) got their visas approved without providing any of the above.

 

 

Thanks, I'm really just inquiring so I have something to actively do while I'm waiting.

I think your fiance needs to be physically present at the bank in order to open the account. Since my fiance and I lived together in her home country, I had gotten her an ITN to have her on my taxes. We were able to use the ITN to open the bank account along with her K-1 documents.

We were married, but you don't have to be in order to open a joint account.

 

 

What bank did you open it with?

Anyone know if this can be done?  If so how?

I mean she wanted to print pictures of every day I've been in Vietnam with her. 

That's hundreds of days. 

I told her just to be natural, she didn't need to practice questions because she needs to just tell the truth. 

 

It was as I expected. No one asked for pictures and her interview was only 15 minutes, a bit slower because it was in English. 

Very nice staff, friendly and professional, I've had worse experiences at the DMV!

Ah ok

Vietnam and Texas is probably a bad combination right now. 

We did take 6 weeks to get out of NVC.

But with the announcement of the indictments, it seems they should be ready to move on now for you guys. 

 

I told my gf she didn't need so many pictures.

What do you mean "I told my gf she didn't need so many pictures"?

Perhaps, but if you regularly read the news articles on the USCIS site, marriage fraud busts are happening all the time in lots of different jurisdictions. 

I'm just grasping at straws trying to figure out why we've been at NVC in AP so long.

Saw this article.  My fiance and I have been waiting at NVC for almost 4 months.  Wondering if other people filing from Houston or vicinity for a fiance in Vietnam are stuck at NVC?  Maybe it has to do with this?

@Ash OK, thanks.  

@Pitaya No, it's in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

@Ash Ok, yes I do have a record.  I also had a K1 20+ years ago.  I guess I thought USCIS did the bg check already.  

Hi,

Yes I called several times, each time they say it's in AP.  It just seems like a long time for it to be at NVC.

Our K1 case has been at the NVC in "Administrative Processing" since Jan. 29, 2019.  It was received by NVC Jan 10.  Does anyone have any experience with having their case at the NVC for this long?
