all she needs to have in her possession (carry-on) are her passport (visa will be inside) and the brown envelope. anything elase can be packed if needed. be sure she carries the brown envelope with her because she will do POE before she collects her bags.

Kevin, I hope you don't mind me asking a question in your thread. At the POE, I know there is a separate line for USC and non USC. Will they let me accompany her in the non USC line or maybe her with me in the USC line? I asked this because my fiancee doesn't know any English. So if they ask her anything, she wouldn't understand.

And congrats Kevin, my fiancee just passed her interview too.

all she needs are her passport and the brown envelop. the vn id will just be a souviner here, something funny to look at in a couple months. she should just bring a few pair of clothes over. bring pics of her family just in case she gets homesick. splurge and get the vietnamese package on your satelite/cable. everything else should be ok. get ready for her to complain it's too cold with the ac on.

Yes, you can go through with her in the non-USC line. I did and many others have, as well. It actually makes it easier on the officer there if you accompany her since she does not speak Engligh. It is very unlikely that they would have a VN speaking person to help.
