Hey everyone,

I want to share something to everybody that Anh John ask me to share.

It was a phone call that he received and he believe that it's from the Consulate. This same person (lady) called Ly Trinh and questioning about his ex-wife and his conditions. They also INVESTIGATE at the village that their Wives live in. Base on informations from John and Ly, they actually went to their "cong an phuong" to ask about it. I was happy to hear that their petitions are being work on and I'm not so far from them either. Ly Trinh told me to get ready and tell my wife not to worry too much. I'm not worry but glad that they would call me.

IS CALLING SOMEONE AND SAYING YOU'RE SOMEONE ELSE ASKING ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR WIFE ILLEGAL? I don't really care at this point but if it's something illegal, I want to be clear about it.

Thanks for your help guys. Legal or Not, I don't care. CALL ME ANYTIME, 24hr/day, 7days/week, 30+days/month, 12months/year.

hahhah U GET WHAT I MEAN.

[ScottThuy 140]

An immigration Atty has said that they can and will do whatever they want to get through the investigation and get the truth... Ly is the fourth case I have seen to have them call like that...

My first reaction if they said they were a friends of my ex's sister.. would be to ask if she was still in rehab.. but I am with you on this one Huong... let them call and tell them what they want and get it moving.... expect the call and if everyone knows what may be happening in the coming weeks, then it wont be as big of a surprise and can be addressed without confusion or misinformation.

The key is to be ready and dont let it get you frazzled like it did Ly... the process is aggrivating enough without the call from the mystery woman...

[lindal24 1]

I don't know if I mentioned it or not, but my husband told me the "cong an phuong" contacted the "area gossip" (haha) to ask if she knew of our marriage/my presence...she said "No" because she wasn't aware, but after we got her call asking about it, we went to her house immediately!! I sat on my husband's motorbike as he ran in--I didn't run in and meet her, but I did see her laughing(?) inside as my husband pointed to me...

[Dai. 7]

Haha "area gossip"-- bà tám right? That's kinda stupid they would consult the area gossip like that....

[ScottThuy 140]

who better to ask?....

[Huong and Phung 0]

Well Scott,

how come Ly is the 4th person you've heard about this and NOBODY willing to come forward to post the questions? Wonder if they said to keep it private or something? Questions being ask by the C.O and everyone share it but the questions on the mystery phone call, they want to keep it private? heheh comon comon, i want to know. heheheh JK. it's better to be prepare than being overconfident.

[ScottThuy 140]

The few questions I remember from the posts and phone call reports:

Where does she/ex live?

When did you divorce?

Why?

When did you marry the beneficiary? (trick question since it was a fiance / K-1)

They have called the Ex's, Relatives and Petitioners.. and now they are checking with the local gossip..

I guess the trick is to make sure everyone knows everything in case they get the call.

They also asked the routine questions about the current relationship... when start , how etc...

The thing that is odd is that they clearly presented themself as someone other than the CO and asked questions that only a CO would ask...

With the way that VN culture treats a wedding or engagement, The fact that they called on the gossip or called relatives is not a bad thing... If the neighbors in a VN village don't know about an engagement, then it likely is a sham.... since everyone knows who is engaged in my fiance's village and to whom....

Nobody said anything about being private since it was under the premice that it was someone else calling.. I posted about this topic before... no secret.. nothing that new...

I have posted not once, but many times in the past about the investigation and its details and no one seemed to even care to comment.

Wow. I guess people wont freakout until it happens to them right. heheheh Thanks for all of the questions. I guess it doesn't apply to me cuz I don't have an ex-wife or nothing like that so I guess something else going to be ask.

From what I remember last year when I was there was that pretty much everyone is THE gossip. I could point to anyone at any time and learn way more than I wanted

John, I will reply to every post where you make some statement about me. Leave my name out unless you are going to ask me a question. Jerome

[ScottThuy 140]

From what I remember last year when I was there was that pretty much everyone is THE gossip. I could point to anyone at any time and learn way more than I wanted

My point exactly... all they need to do is call one person and they can find out everything.... those huge pictures in family homes are not there for nothing... anyone that enters the family home gets the run down on who is who...

And lets not forget the mail service... The last few letters that I sent went to her fathers office, even though they were addressed to the house, because the courrier knows him and figured it would save a trip... so he dropped the cards and letters off at the office with a woman that works there... after she got done reading what she wanted and talking to others in the office about me, then she gave the letters to my FIL and he relayed them home... oh yeah.. he of course read everything also. and showed the mail to the rest of the family before Thuy got it...They actually called her at work to tell her what I said in the mail... I need to stop writing in Vietnamese so they can't understand everything... or maybe this is a great way to lay the groundwork in case I get investigated again at the consulate stage... At least now the gossip knows its a real relationship and that my car just got dyno'd and is almost ready to be painted and that my grammar when writing or speaking Vietnamese is not perfect.....
