My fiancee had her interview at HCMC on August 19th. Did any other VJ members have their interview there on this date or recently. If so what was their experience both from petitioner and beneficiary's perspective. Just curious!

What kind of info are you looking for? Ranting and screaming? Joy? Blame throwing? Information regarding a blue slip? Where to buy plane tickets?

I guess I should describe my experience first. We arrived at the embassy around 7:30am; her appointment is scheduled for 9:30am. I help her carry all the evidence stuffed in 2 laptop bags to the end of the line. There were about 50 or 60 people already lined up waiting to go inside. After the guard scanned her, he asked me to wait across the street with about a couple of dozen other people. Some were the locals trying to sell me a book or shine my shoes. Some even offered to buy my shoes. I only bought one book the whole time and kept my shoes. Lucky my cousin and Thuan’s sister in law waited with me because I don’t think they would have left me alone. It was a long wait. Although I had faith in her, I was still nervous because we’re talking about HCMC after all. During my wait outside, I noticed many people coming out of the embassy; some had a straight look on their face, so it was hard to tell if they got pink or blue. Others had a sad or angry expression which let me know they didn’t pass their interview. Maybe 1 or 2 with smiles telling me they got pink. Thuan finally comes out at 11:04am with a straight look on her face; I assumed the worst but was still hoping she somehow passed. After she crosses the street, she tells me xong roi. I said what do you mean xong roi? Still with a straight face, she says I’m all finish honey. Finish what? I got pink. Wow! She had me going there for a moment; I was so happy, I picked her up and kissed her. By that time, everyone else knew she got pink. Later, I will give her experience from inside the embassy when I can get her to sit down long enough to tell me all the details, as well as the interview questions thrown at her from an angry CO.

Thank you. I truly am. I was worried because we only knew each other for a couple of months before our engagement. Worried that I only came to Vietnam once before proposing. Worried that I didn't submit a statement of relationship with the I-129f. Worried that I was laid off from my job of 9 years at the end of June; they told me and about a hundred other people that we need to find another job a few weeks ahead of time, so that gave me time to find employment. I did and started July 1st. Worried that I had to convince my new employer to let me take 3 weeks vacation after only working there for about a month to come for her interview and birthday. Worried that I would only have 2 visits to Vietnam total. Now able to enjoy myself in Vietnam since she passed her interview. Thanks to all VJ members for your advice; you guys have been pretty awesome. My heart goes out to all those that have received blue or white, I hope you stay in there and fight for the right to be with the one you love. As for the ones not there yet, I wish you all the best of luck.
