HCMC Interview roll call

[BinhJerome 14]

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

Yes the resubmittion could cause more delays, but at least they know you were there again, and it should help. Good luck and I wish you the best!

Lets start the new year off with a fresh start.. but lets keep the pink train rollin'

Bernie & Doan (Interview was 12/15/2009) Got Pink but still here in HCMC waiting for visa to be issued. (Fingerprints needed resubmitted & waiting on approval from US)

Good Luck to All in January!!!!!!!!!

[ScottThuy 140]

Thanks Bernie.. have you gone back to the consulate to follow up again?

Dang, Bernie!

Phuong and I were just talking about you guys tonight. We hope they get this sorted out for you soon.

[Bernie C 24]

Thanks Bernie.. have you gone back to the consulate to follow up again?

Just returned from 2nd follow up visit today! I was told this afternoon the visa has been printed and we can pick it up on Monday the 11th!!! I asked if we could get it any sooner but nooooo was the answer. Hey - better a little late than never. I am throroughly convinced this place is a bit screwed up though, especially since today they insisted I go to the "other" section of the consulate where people deal with lost passports and things. Only after some mild arguing and finally putting my foot down and just walking out and over to the immigration section did I finally get the much anticipated words I was longing for! Also to boot - when I was there last week I gave the guy my email and asked they use it to notify us. Today the girl told me the letter had been mailed to Doans home in Nha Trang Yesterday (go figure). So I gave her my email address again and she send she would send it to me via email (still waiting - figured it would be here whe I git back to the room).

This girl (american girl, blonde, probably late 20's, very nice and polite), well she stopped me in the middle of my speach and said let me tell you something, and then if you still have questions you can ask. Then she told me the visa had been printed and its great news. She looked at me and said "It's not very often I get to say these words to people - congratulations"!!!!! She seemed to be as excited as I was!!!! Well I asked her if she could see the appreciation of this good news in the smile on my face and thanked her for her help. Now Doan and I are celebrating again by eating a large bag of M&M's (long inside story hehe).

Sorry for the novel - just I am very excited and happy again ow for the 2nd time in three weeks. I hope it is real this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy New Year Everyone and Best Wishes to ALL

[ScottThuy 140]

Exactly the good news we were hoping for!

[Bob-KhaHan 1]

gratz!

[Kevin and 10]

Congratulations Bernie.

I just got off the phone with an operator at the NVC. She said that interviews for reaffirmed cases are not scheduled by the NVC, but by the Consulate. Hopefully our interview will be in a month or two.

Worth a shot to call DoS and ask them if they see a date in the system....

I'll try again to see if another operator says something different. I get the feeling that operators have no idea what the process is. They just read what's scripted or on their computer screen.

Try DoS instead of NVC
