My fiancee got a white slip!

Moving to consulate embassy forum

[Anh map 2,098]

Reading the white slip they want to see who paid for the travel and where your fiance's family is in the US.

Looks like they will track the "money trail" for the ticket.

This is common enough at HCMC. The joys of going through a higher fraud consulate.

Have you known your fiance a long time? Been "in a relationship" for a long time? Been to visit more than once? Short courtship, one trip to VN can trigger extra scrutiny in HCMC.

Get the info and get her here.

Best of luck!

I have just about all the information I need! And it looks like I may take another trip to Vietnam I just hope I don't get fired for it.

After the white slip is returned with the information they requested how long will it take for the second interview??? Thanks

There most likely won't be a second interview, just a decision. How long for the decision? That can vary a great deal.

My God how can they do this to us?? My fiancee just called me and was crying saying the Consulate told her they would be sending all paperwork back to the U.S. I'm so goddamn angry right now and frustrated these S.O.B's are playing God with are lives. She turned in the paperwork I sent her and made her wait for over four Hr's then made her read a paper saying why she was being rejected. Yes there are red flags but innocent things...my father lent me money to buy tickets to Vietnam, and I paid cash! Are time line was short ...only one visit...her English is not good....Now who in the hell would have thought any of these things would have made any difference???? Once you make these mistakes it is all cast into stone, and they already had made up their minds. I will now have to quit my job or be fired to go to Vietnam..I have no choice I need to be with her! I should have lessened to people who said hell just bring her to Canada and over the border!

I will get her here but just need to know what my options are?? I will send a letter to my Congress and play their silly damn game! Do they send the packet back to the U.S right away???? Should go back to Nam. and Marry? Will it do any good to see Mark Ellis now? Lord I'm so frustrated sad and angry.

Thank You for all the help on this site just wish I had seen it early on!

I would defer to the input of someone more familiar with HCMC, but I have seen many cases where a couple in this situation gets married and then files for K-3. Not sure if this will be possible for you. Just a thought.

Best of luck

There seems to be several folks in similar situations at HCMC. Go to the Asia: East & Pacific forum and look for byronm4 and Joe Six-Pack. They've been working through this for a bit.

There is a good bit of info there about working through denials in HCMC, Manila, and other tougher SE Asia embassies.

Yes, this is a tough Consulate and there's probably nothing to be done but marry and take a spouse visa route, being careful this time to do everything in a more traditional way including gathering evidence. However, I would advise against the K3. Its advantage has evaporated for nearly all situations and is considerably more expensive than the CR1 visa process from filing to green card.

As heartbreaking as it is, this seems to be a simple case of too much working against you and not enough working for you. You can reverse that ratio on your next attempt.

While I can't offer much help since I'm still new to this whole process I can certainly understand how frustrated you are right now. I feel very bad for you and your fiancee and I sincerely hope everything gets worked out one way or another and you two will be together in the near future. Best of luck to you two.

A white slip does not mean a total denial, it's usually a 221G. AR or AP, more investigation, evidence, documentation, proof and ect.

The details have already been provided. The beneficiary already provided additional information and was informed the case will be returned to the USCIS with a recommendation to revoke. Based on the reasons stated, there's no point in even appealing. Please do read through the thread first to avoid offering irrelevant responses.

So much has happened since my fiancee got her white slip and the denial of a Visa! We have gone through the normal process of obtaining a lawyer and contacting are congressman. When I have the time I will give a detailed account about the process. As of right now it doesn't look promising!

I was told by my lawyer in Saigon,... on average 4 out of 40 get there denied Visa turned over! In addition, I was told that the guy who did my fiancees interview (Asian American) is notoriously hard on immigration interviews. To get this process taken care of is not cheap but when you only have a few straws left you grasp at them. When this is all over I will post all my findings and paperwork and what to expect! It is in God's hands now...........
