What is the average time to get interview from case completed (Nov. 24th) to interview in HCMC? I'm leaving for vietnam on Dec. 5th and will stay there for 9 weeks. Ticket is only $700, Price will go up after Dec. 5th which I can't afford. LOL. Anybody going to Vinh Long, Can Tho? maybe we can meet up for coffee or drinking? LOL

Hey Jason,

The average time is approximately 2-3 months. In my case it took almost 11 wks. If you leave on 12/5/09 for 9 wks, that put you around 02/06/2010 when you will leave VN. That can be quite close to your interview date...

However, every case can vary a bit. And with some big holidays coming up, the Consulate do celebrate both Vnese and American holidays. Do give it some slag time just in case...good luck!!!

Maybe I'll extend my stay for another month. I'll use the money I save on the airplane ticket. :) I so happy my case got completed. It took NVC 5 weeks to completed my RFE.

Your case completed on Nov-24. 1st thing you should do is to call NVC to setup a date for your interview. You should call first week of the month on December to schedule your interview date. Good time to call this week. Call them everyday till you have a date for your interview. I call them more than 3 times a day. Good luck. Your interview schedule should be 2 month from the date you NVC completed. So, meaning your interview should be around Jan-24, BUT, since all these holiday is coming up, including TET in VN. Should take longer than 2 months.

good luck.

Thank you. I'll totally agree with you. My case was completed after two days I called NVC regarding my RFE. took 5 weeks to complete. I guess you have to call them to get things done. LOL

You are cutting it close. Ticket will be low from 12th to 21 of January too. My timeline show you how fast I got my interview date. My estimation is that you will get packet 3 about another week but packet 4 in about a month due to the holiday. then and interview around Lunar New Year. Good luck to you and congrat.

I have to call USCIS to get my case completed because it was more than 5 months. But at NVC, my case was completed in 3 days.
