Hey guys. I just got back from vietnam, and checked on my case. Right now they are asking for a joint-sponsor. The date to submit is the 18th of dec. I am hoping this is good news, i've already sent her the joint-sponsor papersworks. Can we submit it before the appointment date? Will it cause any inconvienience or should we wait until the 18th to submit?

[lindal24 1]

As long as it says it on your blue slip, you should be able to submit evidence early at the window. Just make sure that you have everything requested and submitted at the same time to avoid any delays/denial.

Nothing new for us right now. Just contact Marc to request a case update. He said he will be in the office today to look at it. We'll see how things goes after that.

I am still wating for Hang's medical which is on a day by day phone call now. With the holidays it's seems to be slow, but I emailed the Consulate and they said to wait..I also have Hang calls ChoRay every few days. It has been a little over 2 months so far...I lost count of how many time I updated my timeline

What happened when she submitted the Co-sponsor?

hey guys sorry for not updating. Our appointment date for submission is on the 18 of dec. but my wife submitted on the 7th hoping we can get an early review, but that didn't happened. So I called dhs often checking on the status and my wife also went in to ask about our case. Finally on the 18th I received an email from the consulate stating that my wife can come in on the 18th the receive the result. I stayed up the whole night waiting for my wife to call me back with the result. She was the last one out and we finally got our pink slip. She just picked up her visa today and ready to come home to me! I'm so excited and I feel a tons of pounds lighter...thankyou god and everyone in here!!! good luck to all and a merry christmas and happy new years!!! thanks if you need any help from me feel free to leave me a message.

Were still waiting for a response. I went to see my wife november 26 thru dec 12. Went to the consulate 4 times to submit yet more evidence and speak to a co. the first three times I went all they would tell me was our case is waiting to be looked at, on the fourth trip they told me our case was now being reviewed. It could be that all the additional evidence we submitted is causing further delay.

Duyen and I both email them regularly and I also have had my congressman inquire about our case as well. I now spend my lunch hour calling the state dept for a status change.

Otherwise had a great time with my wife, son and extended family ate and lounged around a lot also took a trip to Vung Tau for a weekend, what a fantastic getaway that was. All too soon it was time to say good bye again and fly back to ice cold SF. Good byes are harder now as we hoped to be together by now. All we can do is pray we get some good news from the consulate soon. From what I can see on the AP list here is 60-90 days seems about the the time we should know something, today is the 64th day in AP.

I will update you all when there is a change in our case.

Merry Christmas to all

Frank And Duyen
