[Haonie 0]

Finally, I got the pink today.

My fiance had an interview on April 24. The interview was about 5 minutes then the blue slip gave out, please submit your time-line. I turned in time-line at 1:00 clock, then the green slip gave out (birth certificates). Friday 25, at 1:00, again I turned in Birth Certificates (myself, fiance, parents both side). Pink was given out. We plan leave VN on May 13. I will post details later. I couldn't sleep for couple days, i'm so tired now. Thanks all for support me. Good luck to everyone.

Congratulations. That's wonderful news. It's good that you had everything quickly available! May you both take time enjoy yourselves and familes before you leave. I know there's lots to do before you both leave!

Yes, congratulations to you both! It is very lucky you were able to get all of that resolved in only 1 day! That makes me feel a little bit better about our case.

I am sure you will answer all of our questions after you get some sleep, but I have one big one: Both of the missing items were in your checklist. I should know, because I am using it right now to help me get my own documents together. How did the consulate miss those items the first time?

Also, and forgive me for hijacking the thread a little bit, why do I need to have my parents' birth certificates? I can get them if need be (and soon, I leave in less than 4 days), but I don't understand why I would need them.

WOOT!!! Grats you two! Good luck!

I'm also curious about the birth certificates for parents. My father is deceased, so , I wonder how difficult it would be to obtain his birth certificate.

Parents birth certificates are only required when BOTH the benficiary and petitioner are Vietnamese. they want to verify that they are not related.

I have spoke to Haonie about 4 times the past couple of days. He called me from VN. CONGRATS HAONIE!!!!!

The hard part is behind you.... See you when you get back.

All,

Thank you, thank you and thank you all. Here are the details.

Pre-screen: a very nice lady (VN) collected all papers, but did not collect my parents, fiancé parents, and myself birth certificates (she was only taken my fiancé BC).

At the Interview:

A very young CO interviewed

When is the first time you meet him?

How many trips did he visit you?

Did you aware that he did have previous K1?

Please let me know about his K1 and why it end up

Does your relatives relate to his relatives? (same last name)

What is he usually doing on his free time?

What is the name of movie, he like the most? (my fiancé can’t spell it)

Does your fiancé tell you about Kentucky?

What are the famous in Kentucky? (she just said, KFC, they’re all laugh)

Anything else in Kentucky?

Where are you going to get marry?

Be exactly location, the place that you will register your marriage license (my fiancé said, she did not know)

Please show me all your evidences. He looked at phone bill and asked how long did he talk with you on the phone? He then looked at pictures and letters. He did not even look at the church and engagement pictures at all.

The blue slip has already printed out on his table. My fiancé tried to slide my time-line of the third trip, but he handed it back to her. “blue slip asked time-line relationship”.

The point is, I’ve already submitted my time-line, first and second trips (4 pages) with the I-129F for the first time. I assumed he was missing my time-line or whatsoever.

She got out at 10:30 AM with blue slip. I then reprinted my time-line of first and second trips.

At 11:00 I ran over to US Consulate to notary it

At 1:00, submitted time-line first, second and current. Plus pictures (church and engagement pix), invitation card, jewels receipts and air tickets for 3 trips. I waited for 3 hours, I then received the green slip asked for Birth Certificates (both parents)

Friday 25, at 1:00, I resubmitted all 6 certificates (original and copies with translated to English). 2 hours I received a pink slip (Thanks God).

However, I’m so happy now. Good luck with you all. Once again, thank you all. From my experiences, make sure you are ready everything you can. So, whenever they ask, just turn them in and you will get the pink.

I stay here until May 10, you're welcome to give me a call if I can help.

Since you're american, you do not require for it "BC". And yes, they were missing my time-line and Birth certificates at the first time, pre-screen and interviewed (missed in purpose, maybe, who knows). Use my checklist, you will get the pink. Good luck Melrose.

Hoanie,

Thanks for your details. Was it a Young American Man? If it was then he could be the same one who interviewed Thi. The questions seem similar to the type he asked Thi.

You're correct. Be prepared for everything at the Interview. Then you will get the pink.

OK, so that's a little scary. They ask for things they already have. Typical government, I guess.

Anyway, if I may ask, how do they get what they want at the pre-screen? Do they ask for certain things, or do you just hand over the whole 20 pound stack of documents, and they take what they want and give the rest back to you?
