Got it, Thank you very much.

I checked my wife x-ray sealed envelope today and it's been opened. She told me someone from the consulate opened when they asked for it. Is that correct? My wife does not want to go through cho ray one more time. The male doctor there is a pervert. Thank you.

No, I got blue slip after interview, turned in timeline a week later and come back on March 8 and got pink. Good luck with you case! I hope you got pink soon.

Congratz! It took us exactly 4 years too. Last two months for us was really difficult. We decided not to think about it and focus on our son. That was how we got through AP. Thanks God it's over. Where do you buy your ticket?

We got Pink. I couldn't have done it without your help. Thank you so much. Does anyone know where to get cheap tickets in HCM city? I gave up my ticket to stay with my family through this difficult time.

Hi everybody , I got PINK already. I took 10 mins for interview, a Korean officer interviewed me with translator is Vietnam guy . Many questions which Im posting on below.

At 9:00am - I submit papers at Window 11 – a nice guy (vietnamese) he took all my paper as : Passort, Ho Khau, 4 photos (5x5), DS230 part 1 and 2. My son’s US passport and CRBA.

While he was checking it , he asked me :

- who is petition me ?

- Have I and him been married before ?

- Does he have any kids with exwife ?

- Do I and him have kids together ?

- Why don’t my husband have birth certificate ?

Then he said me go to chair and wait.

At 9:40 am – I went to window 8 for main interview. I answered by english but some question I didn’t understand and a tranlator help me. He was nice too.

- When your husband born ?

- How many time did he visit me ?

- When is last time he visit – how many days ?

Officer said : Please show pcitures both you spent time together (not married pictures) – and I showed to them.

- Do I and my husband have baby ?

- When was I born him ?

- Did your husband visit me when I borned baby ?

She wanted to see pictures baby and husband again.

- When did my husband divorce ?

- When did my husband married ?

- Where did I meet my husband ? when ?

She said she want to see letter write by hand of us ,not email .

- When did we married ?

- Where does my husband’s exwife live ? I said I don’t know address , I just know she live different state.

- Does my husband know her address ? I said yes.

Then she asked me : “where” – I said no, I don’t know, I just know my husband’s (this is trick question).

Then she said me come back seat and waiting about 5 mins. The window 7 – White guy called my name , I come and print my fingers and they gave me PINK .

I remember all that question ! Im really happy about this, Finally our family can get together.

I will pray for all you success in next inetrview . Please patient . All best will come with you soon !

Thanks all VJ members again ! i will always remember what you did help and support me during last time !

Congratulations !!! I hope I'll get pink soon. :dance:

The consulate can do it for you.. go in the USC side

That's what I thought. thank you.

Regarding my case, the CO asked a lot of question in vietnamese and my wife couldn't understand. She was so distracted with my son with her. We should have let our boy outside as he is already a USC but he will cry non-stop if he doesn't see his mom. We couldn't sleep last night as my wife was crying the whole time. She doesn't want me to leave her and our son again. I'll have to extend my stay for another 2 months until I hear a final decision from CO. Good luck to you ScottThuy.

Good luck to you VN10.

Does anybody know where I can get my timeline notarized in HCMC or Vinh Long. Thank you.

We got blue slip for timeline.

I'm next on list, let keep the pink train rolling. Good luck everyone!

Thank you all. I called cho ray hospital and got an appointment for medical exam on Jan 14th. I also called IOM but they asked me to call Cho ray. I told them my wife is from vinh long and they said she can get the shots vaccinations after the exam.

Hi, i saw yr case is CR1/IR1 so you should email or call to National Visa Center 603-334-0700 and tell them send to you appointment interview for your wife to make appointment medical exam, if you just wait so it will be late for medical exam.

my case completed on dec 8 but dec 15 i got interview appointment by email.i just done my medical exam today.

good luck to you.

I got the interview appointment letter from NVC two months ago, that's how I know when is my wife interview. So I just need to make an appointment with Cho Ray hospital for medical exam and don't need to wait for anything from the Consulate? I thought the consulate will send my wife a package for medical appointment. Thank you for your help.

call 202-663-1225.. then press1, 5, and then 0... that will get you through to a nice lady or another CSR that has access to the same computer system that HCMC uses... She can see if pkt 4 was sent, pkt 3 was recieved and even see if the interview has been scheduled and what date... a 3 or 4 minute call can give you a little peace of mind

Thank you. I'll give them a call. Good luck with your interview.

My interview is on Jan. 20 and I still have not receive anything from the consulate, paper for medical appointment. Should I worry?

Congrats! :dance: :dance:

Congratulations!!! :dance: :dance:

Congratz! :dance: :dance: MORE PINKS PLEASE!!!

Congratz! :dance:

Congratz!!

You are cutting it close. Ticket will be low from 12th to 21 of January too. My timeline show you how fast I got my interview date. My estimation is that you will get packet 3 about another week but packet 4 in about a month due to the holiday. then and interview around Lunar New Year. Good luck to you and congrat.

Thank you. I hope they would schedule me for Jan interview though. Good luck with your interview.

What is the average time to get interview from case completed (Nov. 24th) to interview in HCMC? I'm leaving for vietnam on Dec. 5th and will stay there for 9 weeks. Ticket is only $700, Price will go up after Dec. 5th which I can't afford. LOL. Anybody going to Vinh Long, Can Tho? maybe we can meet up for coffee or drinking? LOL

Your case completed on Nov-24. 1st thing you should do is to call NVC to setup a date for your interview. You should call first week of the month on December to schedule your interview date. Good time to call this week. Call them everyday till you have a date for your interview. I call them more than 3 times a day. Good luck. Your interview schedule should be 2 month from the date you NVC completed. So, meaning your interview should be around Jan-24, BUT, since all these holiday is coming up, including TET in VN. Should take longer than 2 months.

good luck.

Thank you. I'll totally agree with you. My case was completed after two days I called NVC regarding my RFE. took 5 weeks to complete. I guess you have to call them to get things done. LOL

Hey Jason,

The average time is approximately 2-3 months. In my case it took almost 11 wks. If you leave on 12/5/09 for 9 wks, that put you around 02/06/2010 when you will leave VN. That can be quite close to your interview date...

However, every case can vary a bit. And with some big holidays coming up, the Consulate do celebrate both Vnese and American holidays. Do give it some slag time just in case...good luck!!!

Maybe I'll extend my stay for another month. I'll use the money I save on the airplane ticket. I so happy my case got completed. It took NVC 5 weeks to completed my RFE.

Hopefully, My wife will get schedule for interview in Jan. so I can come spend time with her in Vietnam, maybe we'll celebrate TET there. Dang i really miss my wife and my son. NVC is taking forever to review my RFE checklist 5 weeks already.

The NVC received my RFE checklist on OCT 22nd and my case still not complete. I called them yesterday and they told me to call back in two weeks. I see some people got their case completed in 2-3 weeks after send in their documents. I guess it's all depend if they want to do it or not.
