My fiancee was interviewed by a fairly new DOS CO. She wasn't in her job that long, that being said, she didn't understand a lot of the idiosyncrasies that "lifer" COs can pick up over time (my opinion). She went by the book, and consequently, it was a difficult interview. My strongest recommendation that I can make to new K-1 visa applicants is pay for your fiancees to command the English language. This will save you mountains of headaches when they are at the interview. Having a relatively "good" command of the english language is necessary in my opinion, of putting the odds in your favor of getting your pink slip. The translators are not in your fiancees best interest.
The other thing that affected my outcome, is that I work for a government contractor and that was not noticed by the CO, had they noticed, I wouldn't have waited so long in AP. (50+days) With ME's help, he pointed out my employer and within (2) weeks, my case was resolved and they treated my fiancee lik... read complete review

We arrived at the consulate 15 minutes till 7 A.M on June 13, 2008. My fiance lives in HCMC and we left our place early so traffic wasn’t a big deal. We parked our bike Sofitel Plaza and walked to the area across from the consulate. The armed Vietnamese guards won’t let you hang around in front of the consulate so everybody hung across of it. Street vendors tried to sell us many stuffs (chewing gum, novels, newspapers…). If you want a seat and a glass of iced milk-coffee, it’ll cost you 10,000VND from the local coffee there. The consulate opens its indoor- waiting area at 7:15, you can go in and stand waiting with your fiance. I notices there weren’t many immigrant applicants, most were student-visa, tourists. There are no fan in the waiting area, just ceiling fans.
At 7:30 A.M. the consulate opened its main door and only the fiance allowed to walk through security and inside. I handed my fiance about 15lbs of documents in two bags, and the medical examination... read complete review

On Thursday, June 5, 2008 my wife and I left town at 6:30 am and arrived at the U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City by 7:30 am. At first I didn't see any long line outside the gate so I thought we were really early. Wrong! Once we walked across the street to the gate, there was a long line of people already waiting inside.
I was carrying my passport and a 12-lbs bag of documents and with my wife on my side. Once I approached the guards outside and got ready to show him the interview letter, he immediately told me I can't go inside. Only my wife as an applicant can enter.
So we stepped aside and let another woman with a big box of documents to get in front. Then I gave my passport and a bag of documents to my wife and I told her that I'll wait for her for the good news. My wife quickly proceeded to the line inside after the guard has scanned her. Even though the appointment letter stated to not bring cell phone, my wife still kept the cell phone with her in ... read complete review

Well my fiancee past her interview will flying colors She said that she would not rate the Vietnamese workers high saying they are very rude. She was very happy to have lady that spoke Vietnamese really good so she not have to have a translator. Having rude personnel took away from her rating.
She went there in the early morning 6am, but they opend the door 6.40am for them go to big room, its call 'waiting room' They had 2 lines, 1 for non immigant visa. when we are in the queuing for they open the door for us can get out to enter embassy door where we have interview, they open 7.30am
Remember to all things you need ready in your hands.
1. interview apointment letter
2. passport
3. copy of passport and paste 1 visa photo on it
4. receipt for interview fee
Then after enter Consulate ( do not allow cell phone), turned right and wait for to get the number ( you ll follow this numer when they call you for interview or apply docu... read complete review
