I think there are actually 4 or 5 more that are not on the list, its just that those members have not been here since before the holidays... that coupled with HCMC shoving interviews back for the holidays... another case hit the consulate the same time ours did.. they got interviewed mid Dec.

When I was at the consulate on Tuesday I saw quite a number of USC there and only a few were in line with me (checking status). Most I have talked to are not members (but after I see them again they always say - wow, I wish I would have know about that site beforehand. I always tell them its never to late to join and share your experience!!!

Oh by the way, we got our letter today confirming our approval. It went to Nha Trang and was delivered to us by my father-in-law this morning. We asked that they put it on the Hanh Toursit bus and we could get it at the terminal (right around the corner) but Bo Vo insisted on bringing it here himself because he was worried it would get lost!!!!

Tickets are hard to rebook, everything in NWA is sold out - were heading to US 1/16/2010!!!

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

Frank,

You should be hearing from them soon.. the holiday really put everything on hold... hoping for the best!!!!!

I thought the same, but it looks like he got reafirmed... that may be why.. I understand the holidays slowing things down but that is a long way off...

Thanks Scott, We appreciate that. The 20th of January makes it 90 days in AP , were hoping to have some (good) news by then. I realize the holdays put us back a bit and TET could delay us more. Were being as patient as we possibly can.
