Our appointment was January 8, 2023 at 7:30 am. I am the petitioner and attended the interview. We booked a room at the Muong Thanh Saigon Centre Hotel, right across the street from the Consulate. The room was $80. We scouted out the area the night prior to get an idea of where to go in the morning. We walked 2 blocks in the morning to the area directly opposite the entrance. There was no issue with the Red Chair people as I had read in previous reviews. We paid 70k VND for us both to sit and have coffee and wait.
At about 7 on the dot a guard came outside, and the "rush" to the line outside the entrance began. We were maybe 2/3 of the way toward the end of the block, with probably 30 people in front of us. 3 people came outside and began verifying ID, passport, Appointment Confirmation, DS160 Confirmation, and 2 Visa Photos. They also checked my passport. ** Have your documents arranged in order per part 4 of the Instruction Package.** Many people did... read complete review

Appointment time seemed pointless, as we all had to line up and take numbers. Very crowded room and it took hours to submit docs for verification and then interview. Interview itself was a breeze, I was asked a pair of questions as the petitioner, and then friendly officer asked my wife a few questions. The visa was issued two days later and we received it via courier a few days after that.

Interview:
We went to the embassy at 6:30am. They had us line up at 7am near the front door. After going through security to turn in phones we registered for a number. They called us to hand in papers - they collected the i134+tax documents, original birth certs, copy of house registration book, passports, divorce document, and the envelopes from the medical. They kept the copy of passport, the copy of birth certs, the sealed medical contents, i134+tax, and one of the visa photos.
Then we waited to be called again for the interview. Myself, the ... read complete review

We arrived at the designated time. They lined up all immigrants into one staging area. We were soon asked to enter the building. We went to several windows first, where we presented our marriage certificate, divorce decree, passport photos, etc.
We then waited about 20 minutes. Our number was called. The consular officer asked me (petitioner) 2 questions, and my wife 3. The interview lasted less than 30 seconds.
The visa officer was typing furiously. He looked up and said "The visa is being issued."
That was it. The process was actually pleasant and quick. In the Consulate about 2 hours. I can say I was impressed by how organized the consular staff was in processing everybody.
Note: Alot of K-1 visa applicants were "blue sheeted." Many unhappy and long faces that day. I don't recommend going the K-1 route, especially at HCMC, since it's a "high fraud post."
Good luck to all!
