Consulate Review: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Review Topic: K1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : April 10, 2023
Embassy Review : I, the American citizen, did not attend the interview. I stayed in the US.

My fiance arrived at 6:30am, no line yet and everyone was waiting at the cafe across the street. Around 7:20 the consulate allowed people to line up. My fiance got inside and submitted the required documents at the first window: passport, ID, visa photos, police check, birth certificates, household book, etc. and was told to sit down and wait.

Around 1 hour later, my fiance was called to the next window for the interview. The officer did not ask to look at any of my fiance's evidence, which compiled into 3 binders. There were only 3 questions:

- How/when did you meet your fiance?
- What does your fiance do for a living?
- What do you do for a living?

After that, the officer said the case was approved. All in all, the interview lasted around 2 minutes. After reading other experiences at the HCMC consulate, we were surprised at how quick and simple it was. Every case is different, I suppose.

We received the visa by courier 12 days later.
Rating : Very Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.

** Not all cases are transfered
