I went to Vietnam to accompany my fiancee (Kenly) to the interview. I did not have my original birth certificate, so she was afraid and wanted me to be present in case the CO wanted to ask me for an explanation.
Kenly's interview was at 9:30 AM, we arrive pretty close to this time. We had to run some errands right before, so that prevented us from arriving early. I accompanied her into the consulate without problems. She told the guard I was her fiance and I showed the guard my passport. He looked at it and directed us into the consulate building. We didn't have any problems getting in together. To enter the building, we had to place all our belongings on an x-ray scanner. Our cell phones were also taken and we were given a pass to retrieve the phones.
Once in, we walked to the immigrant visa part of the building and waited at the window to get a number. The receptionist wasn't present, so we had to wait. Once the receptionist returned, my fiance... read complete review

I went to the consulate in Oct 2010 and met a man there to talk about my fiance's visa. He was nice however very unwilling to help whatso ever. He told me there are many people who are doing sham weddings. When I presented pictures of my fiance and myself I asked him if we look related, he said "well you could be" I am caucation American. I also had pictures with dates printed on them from separate visits which he said could be counterfited and any evidence I provide could be faked. It is very frustrating to be called a liar with all the evidence I have by someone who doesn't know me at all. Your entire future with your loved one is at the sole descretion of a stranger. This was the third time I have been into that consulate and I am 2.5 years dealing with getting my fiance a visa.

My wife was asked three simple questions. CO didn't even look at our evidence. Guess because our daughter is a USC. Had some problems with afidavit of support, but once we gave them what they asked for, my wife got pink.

I arrived at the airport at 10 PM. Our interview was scheduled for the next morning at 8:00 AM.
We decided to stay near the consulate so that we don't have a long drive on the day of the interview.
My wife and I stayed up until 4:00 AM preparing for the interview. We arranged the information I
brought with me in chronological order. We had receipts, plane tickets, hotel receipts, etc.
All together I say we had about 15 pounds worth of information. The consular never even looked at the
information. He did thumb through all the pictures.
We arrived at the consulate at 7:30 AM. Our appointment was at 8:00 AM.
My wife was allowed to go through the metal gate while I had to stand outside. I walked across the
street and walked down to the local cafe shop. I have read the reviews here and knew what to expect. My wife
interview was over around 11 AM. Below is her account of the event.
She walked into the s... read complete review

US Immigration in itself is frustrating, and the consulate seems to take the brunt of my frustration when dealing with immigration. They would not answer simple questions over the phone, and told me that it takes up to 4 weeks to respond to an e-mail. Sadly, this was tested and it's true. Mail coming from this consulate to Vietnam addresses was also lost, so it's best to keep in contact with them every few weeks. It is easiest if you have somebody in Ho Chi Minh City who can go to the consulate to talk to them directly when needed.
As for he interview itself, it was not bad at all. If you have prepared what is needed to pass the interview then the interview itself isn't hard.
For the record, we succeeded with a K-1 through this consulate without ever talking to a lawyer.
