Let's say she got a visa, and currently she owns a house in Saigon, Dist 1 . Does she have the rights to keep her house when she's here ? or she must sell it or transfer to her parents before she goes to the US ?

She needs to transfer the property ownership to her folks. Here is why, when your fiance leaves VN to come here, the local police will cross her name off the "Family Book" (So Ho Khau). The end! You can not own a property that your name is not in the Family Book.

Can her parents own the house if their Ho Khau is not in Dist 1, saigon? I think their Ho Khau is in Tien Giang or sometin' .

So she should sell the house before the interview ? or she still has time after she got the Visa ? when will the cross her name from the Ho KHau book ?

Just sell the house, housing market in SG is over over inflated.... don't trust VC government... ask the Northern VNese who fled the Communist in '54, they'll tell you about the VN Communist

Let's just stick to the fact, she can "transfer" her ownership to her parents for a fee.

my fiance owned land, and she had to transfer ownership to her parents. Total cost was 300 USD for expedited service. I believe it's a lot less for the longer service, but may take 6 months to transfer.
