STL_HCMC,

How did you find out NVC got your case in 12 days? I've tried to called the 603 number but still no records. It's been 14 days :(. It's a real rollercoaster.

Hi Huan,

I would imagine processing times through the NVC vary from case to case. Wait three to five more days and give them a call again.

When I finally did learn of my case arriving and departing, they were more than happy to tell me the dates it arrived and departed.

Best of luck!

....DaleGG and others here....

Thought I would let you all know Yen and I had the AOS interview Thursday Nov 2, and we passed. I hadn't mentioned much about it here. To me the big thing has always been to GET HER HERE, wich she has been now for over a year and a half.

Another reason it hasn't been that big a deal for us is that my wife has been working at her cousins nail shop (albeit illegally) since she got here so we weren't relying on the green card for her to go to work or anything.

The reason it took so long (over 1 year just to get the interview) was that INS made a clerical error and entered in my address as being 91st street instead of 41st street. Pray to god they don't do this to you. Getting them get ALL their computers etc correected is a LONG and frustrating process involving SEVERAL phone calls to several people trying in vain to explain the situation untill you finally get someone competant enough to help you.

Needless to say the interveiw for us was extremely simple and easy. They only asked me how I met her and how I had learned vietnamese. They only asked her if she had done any ilegal drugs or been arrested. He looked at the life insurance policy I brought, the medical bills I brought from our pregancy and he also wanted a couple of my recent pay stubs and my tax return from 2005 and W-2 from 2005, wich I brought with me in case they wanted them....my 2003 and 2004 returns were in the file already, but since it was over a year old I thought they might want the current stuff too (wich they did and I am glad I had it with me.) Our interviewer was very courteous and easy to speak with. Also, we were his last case that day so that might of helped as I think he wasn't interested in spending very much time on us. We were in and out in under 20 minutes....

The thing I was most happy about was actually passing this thing on the first try. We failed the first interview in Vietnam at the consulate, and just getting this interview was a 1 year nightmare, so I went into this fully expecting to fail just because that seems to be how it goes. I am so glad that this thing is done with. :dance:

***USA*** AND VIETNAM

Link to our webpage: Click HERE

A short timeline:

October 2003, Introduced to YEN by her cousin whom I work with. We like each other etc etc etc..and so on

February 3, 2004, I go to Vietnam to meet her. Things go well so on

February 9, 2004, we get engaged and have the big ceremony and then on

February 14, 2004, I get back on the plane and come home. By about the middle of May I have everything ready to send in to USCIS for the I-29 and on

May 18, 2004 the Nebraska service center recieves the petition. And on

August 28, 2004 I recieve approval notice from NSC. On

October 18, 2004, Yen recieves Packet 3, fills it out, turns it in and on

December 13, 2004 Yen recieves Packet 4, she takes care of it, does the medical etc etc and the interview is scheduled for

January 4, 2005. Yen arrives for her interview and FAILS! So I call and find out what went wrong and they require additional evidence including a 5 minute video of me speaking vietnamese, a tax document that was already in the file, and some letters from me about how and when we met, when and where the engagement was, things we have in common and how our relationship progressed. So on

February 25, 2005 I go back to Vietnam to visit my em oi and on

March 2, 2005 she and I go to the consulate to give them the Video etc. They tell us to expect to wait another 2-6 months. I decide on

March 10, 2005 to give the consulate copies of my airplane tickets, visa and ticket stubs for Yen and I's trip to Phu Quoc. Unexpectedly on

March 23, I get an email from the consulate telling me that our case is APPROVED! So on or about

April 25, 2005 Yen arrives in Kansas City, MO, USA!

Now going through the rest of the process here.

LIFE IS GOOD!

Well congratulations on the success. I found our interview to be pretty easy also, but I've also heard that the 10 year green card is a tougher interview, so be ready for that.

Just "checking in".... We (Lan and Andy) have been absent from VJ for awhile. We're married now, living in northern CA and doing great. Lan is working (for a competitor of where I work at!), learning to drive, and we are doing great. Still waiting on her name check so she does not have the green card yet. Anyway we made it through the k1 process because I am an engineer and you all now how detail oriented those engineers can be. Feel free to write with questions. I will try to help....

All the best to everyone.
