Did not have foreign birth certificate translated. Mailed requested information on 6/14/13.
We received a Notice of Potential Interview Waiver notice in the mail on 9/7/13. No status change online. Basically we "may" not have to interview for the GC but due to a backlog in processing, it could take up to 6 additional months to process (we filed the !-485 on 4/30/2013). Of course they could decide at any moment to change course and request that we interview. |

Consulate Review: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

| Embassy Review : |
Overall I have to say the experience has been very pleasant. The waiting between steps is the hardest part and like most, I wish it could be more efficient. I am not sure if that is on the Consular or if the process just is what it is.
I will say that each part of the process was within the timeline stated, so it was never late. At each point when I had a question, the response from the Consular was very timely, so I felt the customer service was great.
On the day of the interview, my fiance found everyone to be friendly and very helpful. The wait to be interviewed was about 3 hours but it did give her a chance to see how the process played out for others. The atmosphere was good.
After having read about the expereince of several others, I was a little concerned about what to expect. I can honestly say that for us at least, it was a very good experience and I give the staff at the Consular kudos on a job well done! |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
