Sorry this is still lingering for you two.

Can you clarify a little for us what is happening? It sounds like they told her that on 12 October the doctor will send the medical results to the consulate. Sometime between 12 and 25 October, the consulate will call her with an answer. If they don't call her, she should call the consulate. Is that correct? Did the doctor give her anything when she went there?

Correct, and they gave her xrays. but he said he would send the paperwork on the 12th. Another thing that bothers me, she said he only sends paperwork out 2 times a month... yup thats what she was told... 2 times a month. thats soooo total BS. no wonder they might call in such a long time, on the 12th they must get flooded with paper work... What kind of system is that? 2 times a month? for god knows how many medical results? wow. anyways i will update after i know more or hear anything but atm im so pissed. there will be some letters and phone calls. but im going to wait until AFTER we find out their decision.

Where did she go for medical exam?

I can find that out for you in 2 days, tomorrow I will go to work in the moring so she and i will not talk but saturday I can ask.

If Cho Ray, this makes no sense at all. My wife had hers done there and when she went back for the results, they sent her with the packet.

Can't assess what they do at the other facility but perhaps others can chime in.

Sending results twice a month? That sounds bizarre. Maybe because they have a special form to retract an earlier finding of TB???

I asked her and she just said Hospital. I dont know what one or if there is more than 1 in HCMC. atm we are talking with SMS and well we can only fit 160 spaces in a SMS.

She just sent me a sms... saying. she brought the paper the 1st time to the interview, but it was a failed Medical. now the doctor is sending it because it is changed, she said "everyone make paper too long khong make paper now." from my understanding its not a typical sealed deal, it is because they changed it that they have to send it. I also think maybe they have to type it all up/lazy(i dont know) that they will wait to send until Monday(the 12th) then after they get it they will call her anytime from the 12th to the 25th with news. their decision on our case.

next update from me will be their decision. so we all will have to wait until then. I hope its like the price is right and they say "Come on down!" and give PINK! we will see.

Well, I sent them an email on 10/13/09 asking if they got her medical and if they made a decision. Its 542 AM on October 16th 2009. I just woke up to my Blackberry yelling that i got a email (3 days... not bad) ..... I opened it up and this is what it said......

Good afternoon,

Please be informed that we received the beneficiary’s medical report from our Panel Physician. A consular officer reviewed and approved this case on October 16. The notification will be mailed to the beneficiary shortly. However, she may wish to bring her passport and this response to our office between 1-2pm, Monday through Friday for visa issuance.

YUP PINK VIA EMAIL!!!!!!!!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Take us off the list. Today in HCMC we got pink!!!

After several visits to the Consulate. The Supervisor promised something in a week. We recieved a request for new medical (blue paper). Dao took the new information in today 1pm VN time. She turned in the material and took a number to wait. Number was called and pink issued.

Dao was really worried that they would interview again and has been pumping me for answers about the house, city and extended family.

Good luck to all.

My advise, If you have an attorney that says be patient after 2 months of waiting. Get ride of the attorney. If you are in AP. Flood them with evidence of your relationship they have to except it. You have to proove a bonified relationship and eligability. They have to qualify a denial. Fill their file box with all your junk!!! The more times you go inside the Consulate the more you learn and become familiar with it.
