Big Congrats!!!

You do not need a layer. You can do it yourself if you have no criminal records, previous overstays, previous filings that were suspicious. Start with the guides, they are comprehensive.

Sweet! Congratulations!

There have been cases of people not including the intent letter and still got approved. What you did/didn't do is all petty and you should not worry about it.

If it has already taken 4 months, then you should be looking at about 2 more months

it seems December filers have been completely forgotten as if they are not part of the petitioners here.
How about October filers?

Big Congrats!!!

IMHO when you have to ask that question (how long is long enough), your relationship "smells" like fraud.
And let me guess, the "other" party from VN has become impatient for the long waiting time. After all, her goal is to get here, USA, as quickly, and "efficiently" as possible.
Search in this Regional Specific forum for a thread in the past, in which someone said you all should thoroughly invest time and effort to "investigate" your party. Rush now, make mistake, and it WILL cost you time and $$$ later once she's here.
But of course, advices often are treated like thunder falling on deaf ears in here anyway.
Edit to answer your ?: by the way, according to the "official" guide from marriage scammers over there, the typical waiting time from first meeting (not in person, but first time ever) to petition submission should be from 6 to 8 months. This time should be adjusted accordingly depending on ages and number of past divorces from both involved parties.
Danger! Beware of "dogs!"

I made only one trip all together. I knew my babe for a few months and went and got engaged. I have no idea why and maybe that is why I am lucky. It is rare though as many times others from here were denied as they said they did not have enough relationship. A few even had more trips than I did and had the party and were denied for lack of relationship. I do know that besides I that a very few also got a pink with little trip or knowing each other long.
Hell my fiancee even had the toughest interviewer they had back then and was grilled hard. (It was the infamous Korean lady) When she came back to give the timeline the same hard nose lady that interviewed her was nice as can be and gave her the pink at that time and the info was brought in real early.
Now the self righteous dude is right. There is no rules that state that someone has to know someone for so long and do a certain amount of things before they will OK a visa but he is a noob here and clueless. Scott and I and a few others have been here for years as we each went for our visas and stayed to help others. We have seen the whole gamut and we know what is up at this consulate. The odds of getting a visa with as little as I had is almost nil. It can happen but the best bet is to get a lot of relationship evidence and that means making more than one trip and stringing the engagement out. Make sure an engagement party is done with lots of pictures. Also make sure they see the pics of you two on different days and in different clothes.
Feel that you are special and you will be the exception? Then great go and do the minimum and let us know we are wrong. We welcome to be wrong and nothing will please us more than to see a pink when we thought a blue at the least.
Thanks for sharing all the same. Here's my exit! -
Before freaking out take a moment to read what I wrote.
There is no length of relationship requirement
As long as you have sufficient evidence you should be fine.
Both true statements not at all related to which country the beneficiary is from.
Clearly, I do NOT know the in-and-outs of the specific bona-fides required/recommended specific to Vietnam, but that is not what the OP's question asked.
And I believe Huong believed his denial to be due to lack of an engagement party, and lack of family at the wedding. Nothing to do with the length of the relationship.
The question was DO you have to have a specific length of relationship to be approved. The answer is no.
-
For those that feel they know for a fact that it does not matter how long the relationship was as the two non-VN posters above... take a moment and ask Huong why they denied his wifes visa application at HCMC... Know ####### you are talking about before you post ####### here in the VN regional!!!!!!!!!!! misinformation can ruin lives....
Dude, there is no need coming out swinging! Channel your frustrations somewhere else instead of directing it at people trying to help. All you have to do is simply state your answer to the question and give your references if any. You are much closer to violating the VJ TOS than the people you are attacking. At least show some class, this is not a bout. There is no law restricting non-VN posters from posting on a VN forum with the intent to help and none of the answers you criticize is wrong. Give your answers without attacking anyone okay?
-
It does not matter how long your relationship has been. You just need to have sufficient evidence to prove your relationship. Since you are married, your marriage certificate will be very important to include along with the rest of the evidence you have listed.

Good luck on this journey!

I would put her residential address because that is where all correspondence would be sent.

My fiancee in the past had K1-visa approved in the past, now there is love lust between them, she divorced last year and like five months after, applied again for me, I am a little bit scared that there aint gonna be any red flag or any case of fraud indicartor or is it? cos our relationship is genuine and we have met in the past two years three times . Our application has been approved by uscis and an interview date had been set, COs here in lagos,are very harsh in their questions and the way they relate to applicants,most are denied because the COs claims there are no concrete plans towards their wedding, so, for those of you out there that had been granted in the past, how did you scale these questions ? And how many of you had your fiancee done the k1 more than once, please do share your experience,my interview is coming up soon
By the divorce, I assume that the previous beneficiary made it to the USA and got married. However, the 5 month time between a failed marriage and another petition might raise a very red flag in Lagos. My advise is to have enough evidence to prove you have a legitimate relationship and probably have a good answer for your wedding plans.

No, it doesn't expire.
Whenever a permanent resident leaves the US and returns, CBP is permitted to question whether they've abandoned their residence in the US. If they determine that the LPR has abandoned their residency then they'll seize the green card and refuse to let the alien back into the US.
If the LPR has been outside the US for less than six months then CBP will generally not question whether they've abandoned their residency unless they have made repeated frequent trips outside the US, and appear to be spending more time outside the US than inside. If the LPR has been outside the US between six months and one year then CBP will look at their travel history for evidence that they may have abandoned their residency. If the LPR has been outside the US more than 1 year but less than 2 years then CBP is required to presume the LPR has abandoned their residency unless the LPR has obtained either a reentry permit from USCIS or a returning resident visa from a US consulate prior to returning. If the LPR has been outside the US for more than 2 years then they've abandoned their residency, and cannot return even with a reentry permit. It might still be possible to get a returning resident visa if they can convince the consulate that the extended stay was not anticipated, and beyond the control of the LPR.
This is quite elaborate.

Whatever you do, since you are for a K-1 visa, make sure you don't fall for the trick when they ask you if dowry was paid. That was how my then fiancée was denied the first time. The CO said she was convinced we have a legit relationship but thinks we were already married so they could not give her a fiancée visa. It mostly depends on the CO that interviews you. Be sure you answer confidently and truthfully. Good Luck.

Processing time is the estimated times between your NOA 1 and NOA 2. The previous post should give you an idea.

As already advised, you cannot pay online.
What are interviews like?

It depends on the consulate involved. You can check out the consulate reviews in the respective country to get a better idea.
