We were not emailed when we were approved. I emailed them weekly, and when I nagged my husband to go out to the consulate and he finally did they told him they had completed processing his paperwork and to come back the next day with his passport to exchange slips.

John's wife also went to the window where she was told their case had been approved and to return later with the passport...

John's fiance went to the consulate and the woman at the window said your case was approved last week, return later today with your passport so we can give you your visa....

It looks like a good indication (2 cases--Mine & John's) that if your SO makes inquiries at the window, you'll hear faster than by mail/phone/e-mail...

Anh John, congratulations. Job well done. One down. Many more to go ... I guess Ly Trinh is next?

I have been in AP at NVC for a month now and someone called me from there asking for my ex wife... I knew who it was and what they were trying to do. I gave them her cell # and said call her if you want to talk to her but we are divorced and have been for some time. I expect to be off to the consulate tomorrow... Having been invesigated at NVC the way they just did, I expect no AP @ HCMC... This means interview before the end of the year.. but I dont see any way for her to get a visa before the end of the year and get married this year for tax purposes...

Here is our story on our day that we went in to turn in our evidence:

We got there at 12:30pm on September 8th 2009.

We both walk up and being turn down by the guard and said that only one of us can come in.

My wife walk in with all of the evidence in two bags. One bag was our BEFORE WEDDING and AFTER WEDDING evidence.

My wife turn in all the documents around 1:10pm and told to wait for the result.

My wife sit at the bench until 5:05 pm and they call my wife's name. They then told my wife that they're running out of time so they gave my wife a blue slip and said to go home and wait. Think about it everyone, my wife wait for almost 5 hours and just to receive such news. Not to mention I was sitting outside at the corner on the other side of the street waiting patiently. I didn't go to the bathroom or taking my eyes off the doors. I see 1 door close, then 2 doors close then all three close. I was worry about my wife safety more than getting the pink slip. I talked to one of the american that just got out of the consulate about my wife. I explain to him how my wife looks and he said she's still in there. That ease my worry a little and I keep on waiting. At 5:10Pm, my wife walk out and cross the busy street and told me that we have a second blue slip. Part of me was glad because my wife is okay and part of me was angry about them keeping someone in the consulate for 5 hours. After all, we're glad that it's not white slip and we were so hungry to think about anything else. We jump into the car and find the next restaurant to eat. We ate at "Quan An Ngon" just down the road on Nam Ky Khoi Nghia.

That's our story on our second time at the consulate. We are waiting for them to give us an answer and hope it turns out well.

SORRY FOR MAKING IT TOO LONG.

Wow!!! It has been a long road for you.... my prayers are with you! Hang in there!

Ly should be out next week... She went to the consulate last night and they said not done... we will notify you.. likely Tuesday or so before they are done if the timeframe after Johns call is the same as Ly's....

I got the call from DoS yesterday and I am out of NVC AP today.. so that scheming call is for sure an indicator that something is about to happen... with luck I will fax and email the DS230 and DS 2001 on Tuesday as they will get the file on Monday and I could get an interview as early as Dec 21 or 22... fingers crossed... if all goes well she could be here b4 the end of the year and married b4 Jan 1.... woo hoo on that tax deduction!!!!

If anyone else gets a call from HCMC let us know.. this is a good sign and we can count from that day how long it takes...

So she'll travel as soon as she gets the approval?? I think you're being too hopeful if you think she'll get her visa by the 31st though...lol. Unless you can get Thuy to explain to the consulate officers that she needs her visa that same day because ya'll wanna take advantage of the filing status!! LOL.... (It's possible though...I guess.)

Fingers crossed...i had my wife fly to saigon in a couple of weeks to check out the status, hopefully good news. If the case is not done yet then I'll have her submit more evidence of us after being in AP, hopefully this will let them know that we are legitimate. I will let you guys know what's up.

As soon as she gets the visa in hand she will be on the next flight here... I dont know what they do aside from overnight it to those in the north since they dont expect them to fly back... If she gets interview on 21 or 22 and is lucky enough to get approved, then she should get the visa a week later... thats the 28th or 29th and add 1 day for overnight... its all wishfull thinking anyways.. never know until the interview what is going to happen that day...

The only good thing is that I have already been investigated for fraud based on that phone call from DoS asking for my wife.. not likely I will get AP for that again... I like what another VJer did by having his fiance include pictures of his house ect at the interview to show where he lives and what he does for fun... that along with pictures of where we will get married and honeymoon will address an issue that a recent denial got hit with... just running down that red flag list everyother day to try to be as prepared as possible... she is actually having someone rudely ask her ridiculous questions to prepare her for the real thing...

I wonder if they would do something for her knowing she was from the north.. say she asks them, hey if I stick around a day or two can I pick up my visa before I fly back to Ha Noi? I really want to get married fast so we can get that tax deduction this year.. he he he...
