Vietnam Consulate Interviews

[Roy99 0]

Hello,

My fiance went to Consulate to get her packet 3 and she sent back next day. She still did not recieve the 1st packet 3 that was sent to her in the mail when she lives only from 2 mile from the Consulate. Since she has not gotten the packet yet I think her letter for interview will take just as long or longer for her to recieve. I have been noticing that interview are coming faster than average some within weeks or even 1 month.

My question is has anyone who gone through this Consulate have a recent time frame to when I can expect the date of the interview? The mail is really bad there I not want to wait for a letter and only have short time to have medical exam and short time to get ready.

You can see our timeline shows Thi's interview was two months from return of her Packet 3. That was in December. They took a little more than 2 weeks to schedule her interview but she didn't get her Packet 4 until January 28. She lived in HCMC a bit further than 2 miles.... The Consulate I think isn't scheduling interviews any quicker because they know how unreliable mail service is in Vietnam. It's just that a couple of people (Phoung for one) here called and were told when their interview was because they hadn't recieved their Packet 4 yet. In his case I don't know, he says the packet 4 was sent on March 14th which doesn't follow the norm. Melrose Plant and others are still waiting. He sent in his Packet 3 on 2/28 so if it folllows ours, he'll have his around April 24th to 27th. He called last week and still didn't get answer yet of when. So patience is the only option that ths time.

Since you have sent in your Packet 3, I have in other posts listed what you can do now to prepare for the interview. Getting now while you wait is the best way to keep busy

Good luck

Peter and Thi
