Don't worry.. Same thing with Anh Nguyen.. he kept emailing them.. get the autorespone.. then 3-4 weeks later he got package 4.. with the appointment date..

Doan received packet 4 and interview appointment about 4 weeks after sumitting the DS-230 Part 1 and DS-2001 (that was October of 2009).

I'm not sure, but i have RFE letter before i recieved the transfer letter. I recieved RFE around feb 18 then i sent RFE, on March 8 i got the transfer letter.

How long did it take for you ( TODDANDHIEN) to recieve your green card..

We got this notice, too, and thought we would have no interview. Later, we got another letter stating that the file had been sent to our local office and we did end up having an interview. Not sure why.

yeah,, my case also got tranfser to cali.. good to know that if case was tranfered no interview is needed..

typically it means you do not get an interview, but it if there is something weird with your package than it could get re transfered over to your service center. Its typically a good thing

Leave Boston nov 21, resummite paper work nov 25, leave vn dec 6 with my fiance

Happy Thanks Giving to all in the States. I will leaving Vietnam on Tuesday night. Good bye to Vietnam cause it looks like I won't be returning back for a long time.. My work is wanting me to concentrate on US operations so it looks like I won't be back in Vietnam for a long time....

Thanks

I left it blank or write n/a

no

But how come on one of the section on I485 AOS apllication it asked for SS #.. Should i just leave it blank..

For K1 visa do you need a SS # to apply for AOS??????

does not work automatically for a K-1.... a K-1 needs to apply in person

I brought my dog from USA back to Vietnam and Vietnam back to USA.. it'd Very easy.. don't stress out abou #######.. you don't need a Visa for pet..

1) you need the shot to be update.. (rabis especially)

2) and also the vet to write a statement that this dog is health to be travel..

3) kennel that fit your dog. The kennel need to be the type that safe to carry on air. if the pet is less then 10bls you can do carry on..

In the kennel you need food and water.. If not they will not allow the dog to fly(united arline)

4) the cause is around $250.00

i hope this help.. if you have any question let me know

Some info from the CDC website -->> http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dq/animal/dogs.htm

THANK YOU A BUNCH AGAIN.. FOR ALL OF YOUR GREAT ADVICES..

Anybody know if i could turn those paper in early? cause nov 25 is another month..and serious i do not want to wait that long... and yes.. can someone tell me how i can get intouch with the CO. Should i just walk in and request to see him...

Thank you for all your help

I guess i just wait until Nov 25. ... does anybody know after i turned in those documents will they ask more question? will there be more waitingor they will they jsut another blue or pink paper right away..

When you submit the requested documents, you will either get a blue "AP" slip or a pink "approval" slip or a white "denial" slip...GOODLUCK!! I haven't heard of anyone being re-interviewed...yet.

Once you post the slip experience VJers will be able to help you more...

Also, I notice you say Nov 25 is the day you need to turn in your information. That is Thanksgiving holiday. The Consulate is closed that day, isn't it?

The 25th is the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is the 26th, I work for a local governmental agency and we have off the Thursday & Friday.

My husband's slip said to submit his July 3rd (July 4th is US independence day...we got to take off July 3rd though...) and they extended the submission date to July 8th so it's good advice to check with the Consulate.

Sure i will work on scanning it tonight..

@bn010809 - Can you scan/post a copy of your blue slip?

I just scanned my first blue "RFE" slip (what you got...) and saved it under "My Photos." I also have a copy of the 2nd blue "AP" slip, our pink "Approval" slip, and a copy of the US Visa.

Thank you for all your help

I guess i just wait until Nov 25. ... does anybody know after i turned in those documents will they ask more question? will there be more waitingor they will they jsut another blue or pink paper right away..

yes my fiance did.. they said this is not the time to summit the information.. we have to wait until nov 25. he got it with him and everything is done as was told.. but they won;t take it..

Is list of relatives required?

My fiance doesnt have any relative living in the US. I dont have any relative here in the US neither. I live in a house by myself. My parents lived in separate places.

BN...

did you try to submit the timeline at your interview?

It said " Petitioner: In a signed, sworn, noterized statement, please submit a list of the names of those living with you at your current address. For each individual, include his/her date of birth, place of birth, phone number, and relation to you."

Petitioner is me right?

I'm never marry.. and lived with my parents and brothers in the same house.

My fiance doens't ahve any relative in the USA.. all of his relatives is in vietnam..

Question.

i will be in vietnam that time (nov 25-resummite date) should i come in with my fiance to summit?

do you think they will let me go in with him??

If they dont; let me in with my fiance, should i go in for my fiance?

please give me advise of what to do...

We FAILed.. CO asked for our timeline and name of the relatives that live with me in the same house in USA. But we got those paper with us during the interview. The CO wont except it. He said to come back on nov 25 to turn those documents in.

Anybody have any suggestion..

please give me advise....

Like Scott said, you didn't fail. This is the typical paperwork dance that the consulate in HCM puts you through. Many people with long and well documented relationships and few red flags still end up going through this. You aren't denied until you get a notice specifically saying you are denied and your petition is being sent back to USCIS.

The part I bolded above is a different twist, though. They often ask for a list of the beneficiary's relatives living in the US, along with detailed info about each, but I don't recall ever seeing a request for a list of relatives that live with the petitioner. Are they asking about your relatives that live with you, or are they asking about beneficiary's relatives? I'm just wondering what the angle is here - what are they suspecting? If you were divorced then they might be suspicious that you are still living with your ex-wife, but they'd come straight to the point and ask for proof of where your ex-wife lives. Maybe they think you didn't list all of your dependents on the I-134.

Curious...

We FAILed.. CO asked for our timeline and name of the relatives that live with me in the same house in USA. But we got those paper with us during the interview. The CO wont except it. He said to come back on nov 25 to turn those documents in.

Re: Chronological timeline of our relationship with my fiancé, XXXXXX

DOB: 06/16/1984

HCM2009725121

I, XXXXXX, a citizen of the U.S., I am the fiancée of XXXXXXX. The following is a sworn affidavit document the chronological timeline of our relationship from December 26, 2005 to present.

Dec 22, 2005 – Jan 30, 2006 (Travel to Vietnam # 1)

o Dec 26-27, 2005 – The BEGINNING- It was winter break of my sophomore year in college. I met Huynh, XXXXX (at present my fiancé) at a photocopy shop in Vung Tau, Vietnam, where he worked. The photocopy shop included other services such as editing photos and color printings. I was working on a collection of orchids photograph. Huynh, a technician there, helped me edit my pictures and organized them into a portfolio. This project took about two days and since then we became friends.

o Dec 30, 2005 – FIRST DATE. He took me to Suoi Tien, Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam.

o Jan 1, 2006 – Our second date was at Long Hai Monkey temple, Vietnam.

o Jan 2-29, 2006 – We saw each other at our convenience for breakfast, coffee, dinner or just browsing the Vung Tau city, Vietnam.

o Jan 30,th 2006- I returned back to the United States for school. Due to both of our daily lives and busy schedules, we sustain a minimal relationship.

Dec 17, 2007 - Jan15, 2008 (Travel to Vietnam # 2)

o Dec 17, 2007 – REUNITED. After graduating from college and wanting to have fun before working, I travelled to Vietnam. As a result, I met up with Huynh again.

o Dec 20, 2007 - We went to a friend’s wedding in Ba Ria, Vietnam

o Christmas’s Eve and New Year’s Eve of 2008 – Celebrated in Ho Chi Minh city.

o Jan 5, 2008 - We went to my cousin’s wedding in Long Phuong, Ba Ria Vietnam.

o Jan 9, 2008 – DECLARATION OF RELATIONSHIP. This trip had brought us closer because we mainly spent our daily times together. Therefore, we official started our relationship. At Window Coffee Shop in Tx Ba Ria, I was looking at a Vietnamese Magazine. Wanting to hold my hand, Huynh politely asked for a magazine that I was holding. Since I couldn’t read Vietnamese, he would read it for me. After handing him the magazine, he held my hand instead of the magazine and would not let it go. It was so hot in Vietnam that I could feel his and mine hands sweating, and still, he would not let me go.

o Jan10, 2009- FIRST “MUAH”. Huynh still very shy. The next day, while we were driving to another coffee shop at Long Dien, Vietnam. I was sitting on the back of his scooter and we were talking. It was very windy and I could not hear him clearly. Therefore, my face was leaned over his left shoulder for better hearing; he turned his head and immediately locked his lips to my cheek, “Muah!”

o Jan 14, 2009 – FIRST LIPS to LIPS. At Tan Son Nhat Airport, Vietnam, we spent our last couple of hours together at the departure side walk looking down at the parking lot. He held me in his arms really tight. It was about thirty minutes to my departure time, I told him I have to go. He was looking at me with his teary eyes and slowly closed his eyes moving his lips closer to mine then he kisses my lips.

o January 15, 2008 - I returned to United States.

Jan 15, 2008-August 30, 2008

o DAYS AND NIGHTS with the PHONE. Missing me too much he spent a lot on his mobile card to call me. Each day we spent at least three to four hours talking to each other. He called every morning to wake me up and at night to wish good night. This is how we keep our long distance relationship strong. To save Huynh money, I signed up for Saving call, and many other prepaid phone card. We also keep our relationship going by yahoo chat, voice chat and web-cam.

August 30, 2008-Sept 14, 2008 (Travel to Vietnam # 3)

o “PETITE”. Missing Huynh, my boyfriend (at that time) so much, I returned to Vietnam. He spotted me before I saw him. He ran from the side to surprise me with a really tight hug that I could barely breathe. The first sentence he said after our long tight hug, “Wow you so petite!” We have our lovely fourteen days together; it was one of the most fun times of my life. We traveled under budget so we decided to stay locally. This trip brought us even closer.

Sept 15, 2008- Nov 28, 2008

o BACK to a MISERABLE LIFE. I was back in the United States. Sadly, he’s still in Vietnam. Missing him so much, I could not concentrate on my life. I want to leave everything that I studied hard for behind so I could return to Vietnam to be with him. I left Boston, Massachusetts on Nov 28, 2008 and landed to Vietnam on Nov 29 at 11:20pm.

Nov 29, 2008 – Feb 5, 2009 (Travel to Vietnam # 4)

o I was struggling with finding a decent job that related to my major of nursing in Vietnam. Therefore, I volunteered in Long Xien Kindergarden. I did not have a scooter’ driver license and Huynh thought it was too dangerous for me to drive. As a result, he was my designated driver. Every weekday morning and afternoon he drove about 20-25 minutes from Ba Ria, where he live to my parents’ retirement house, Long Hai to pick me up. Afterward, we drove to Long Xien Kindergarden about another 30 minutes ride.

o Jan 1, 2009- TWO BECOME ONE. He took me to Imperial Plaza for dinner. He asked for a candle to be lit at our table. Huynh was trying to be romantic but the candle did not work. The light kept flickering off because we were sitting outside close by the sea. Ignoring what was going on with the candle, he turned his attention to me and suggested that we should get engage. “I love you. I want to be with you and I want you to be mine.” He explained and I agreed with him. However, in respect to our parents, we need them to meet each other to talk first.

o Jan 7, 2009- MEET THE PARENTS. My fiancé’s dad (my father in-law) arrived to my house in Long Hai around 9:00am from Gia Lai to talk to my parents about our engagement ceremony. Both parents decided that it was still the year of the Rat (our birth Zodiac Animal), thus, both parents believe it was a bad luck year for us to celebrate. Furthermore, all of my siblings are back in the U.S. and all of his relatives are still in Gia Lai, Vietnam. This decision had arrived upon them and our parents fairly quickly to arrange travel plans. Tet, a Vietnamese New Year, also in 3 weeks, everyone was busy getting ready to celebrate it. Therefore, my fiancé and I decided to postpone our engagement ceremony to be at a more convenient time. Nonetheless, our parents concluded to have our engagement celebration on November 28, 2009. (After the parents agreed, we officially engaged.)

o Jan20, 2009- My fiancé’s sisters visits him at his Lam Son’s photocopy shop, I went to greet them.

o Jan 25, 2009- Dem Dau Thua, he took me to Vung Tau to see the fireworks.

o Jan 26, 2009- Tet, at 2:00am he drove my mom and I to the temple in Ba Ria, Vietnam for blessings.

o Jan 27, 2009 – The first day of Tet, my fiancé came to my grandma’s house in Long Phuoc to meet and greet.

o Jan 30-Feb 3, 2009- K1 VISA. In Vietnam, we researched for ways that we can travel to the United States together. We found that K1 Visa is the fastest methods and it also fit our situation.

o Feb 5, 2009 - Could not find job in Vietnam, I went back to United States for I have a job offer. Furthermore, I need to return to the USA to file for the K-1. If I filed it early by the time we have our ceremony on Nov 28, 2009, my fiancé could accompany me to the United States.

Feb 6, 2009-November 21, 2009

o HOPING FOR the Happy Ever After. During the summer I planned to visit my fiancé; however, if I was taken vacation in the summer, I would not have enough days to request off of work for my engagement. As a result, I postponed my trip and we planned our ceremony over the phone and web-cam. Also, my parents will return to Vietnam 7-8 weeks prior to prepare for it.

o Feb 7, 2009- Back in the United States, I continued working on my I-129F.

o June 24, 2009- We decided on a big engagement ceremony in Vietnam since all of my fiancé’s relatives and friends are in Vietnam. My family’s relatives are also in Vietnam. A small wedding party will be celebrated in the United States after he landed for I only have a couple of friends and colleagues.

o August 29, 2009- Myself and my oldest brother’s family of four bought air tickets flying to Vietnam on November 21, 2009.

o Oct15, 2009-My parents will return to Vietnam to get ready for our ceremony.

o Nov 21, 2009- My brothers and their wives and children will fly to Vietnam with me for my engagement ceremony on November 25, 2009.

UNTIL NOW WE STILL TALK AT LEAST 2 – 3 HOURS 7 DAYS A WEEK.

I, XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, a citizen of U.S and currently reside at 47 Reservoir Ave, Revere, MA, 02151., do hereby state that the above is true and accurate to the best of my knowledge.
