I tried calling the consulate office but the automated directory doesn't allow you to go beyond the main selection 1-English 2-Vietnamese....

...I just wanted to ask them if my case was being reviewed and not just sitting on an empty desk!!! :(

...neither does the number on the wiki... 84-8-8229433

I have been emailing weekly. I just wanted to check to make sure that my case isn't just sitting on someone's desk though... I had my husband call yesterday (Monday), if he wasn't able to talk to anyone he's gonna go out there Tuesday.

The consulate in HCM changed the phone system about 6 months ago. You can no longer call them and talk to a person. You can e-mail your questions and they will respond. Plan on waiting about 4-5 business days for a response from a staff person.

Alternatively, the USC can visit them and speak to a CO at the consulate at an "open call" session two afternoons a week. See website for details.

I would continue your campaign of e-mailing them regularly so that they can see your level of interest. In addition, I would strongly encourage you to get your senators and congressperson involved.

Just curious what you got for a response from your washington reps. If it has been awhile with no action or status, I would certainly call them again. BTW, the senators and congressional representatives have direct e-mail access to the Chief. Both of my senators and my congresswoman wrote letters to the consulate on my behalf before the interview and got next day response letters from the Chief. It is an issue of motivation on their part, not accessibility.

In the end, however, it all comes down to the consulate. They will decide when they are ready to decide. All the hounding in the world will not expedite the resolution but better to take some action than no action. Good luck.
