HCMC Interview roll call

[JakeinVietnam 0]

We just got a letter from the consulate today.. they returned all of the documents we submitted and said they need to do additional processing... not approved, not denied.. just still investigating... this may be thier response to my question about DoS policy requiring them to review the documents submitted within 30 days...

I suspect we will get a decision within the next 90 days.... hopefully not too long... it really sucks if Thuy will have to make an extra trip to HCMC and pay again for the medical to be done since they took so long... hundreds of $'s wasted if they wait until after the first week of July....

same thing happened to Johncali http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/214505-reciever-evidence-form-co/

That is odd, I have always thought when they give all your things back and no visa it meant denial, but it seemed to work out with John, so hopefully this scenario will hold true for you Scott, good luck, and an early congrats!

A response to an email to the consulate....

This case has been under processing in our office since when we received it from the national Visa Center. In regard to whether the processing of this case has been improperly or unreasonably delayed, please know that we are required to carefully review visa cases. This requires that officers take time to fully consider all aspects and facts of a case. The waiting period that you cite is not unusual to our decision-making process in such cases. Once we have completed the processing of this case, we will contact the beneficiary.

The email got them to look at the evidence and return it to Thuy, but thats the extent of it... They will do what they want when they want and take as long as they want.... we're remaining hopeful that the visa will be issued in the next month or two after they have made those notorious phone calls to friends relatives or neighbors....

[ScottThuy 140]

Good luck Bao! She should be at the consulate soon if not already... Pink!!!!

Hieu.. which day this week is Thuy's interview..? Best of luck for you two as well

Hi Guys.

My fiance interview is on 7/8/2010.

I've submitted vacation request for 8/1/2010 - 8/14/2010.

We've planned for 8/8/2010 Wedding date over in VN for mine fiance family & friends.

From most of your experience, would this be enough time for her to recieve her VISA?.. assuming that she had no issue w/ the interview.

I'm very nervous when it come to HCM, VN....

I haven't book a flight yet.. but seeking for supports from VJ peers w/ experience.

Thanks

Q.T.

[ScottThuy 140]

if everything goes without any delay the timeline is reasonable.. but you do realize that you cant really get married in VN or the visa will become invalid... you must marry in the US within 90 days of her entry...

[Ronnie&Hang 12]

Hang went back for another medical at Cho Ray this week. They told to come back the next day to pick up results and told her she needed to do the sputum tests again. Oh man, that is another 2-3 months more waiting...

They hold our files until the medical expired then asked for another one, now another sputum tests even the results came up clean just few months ago...

I was hoping she will get the visa in the next couple weeks, but now we are looking at a few more months..and another police certificate.

[ScottThuy 140]

Oh man.. and you were so close... best of luck that there are no more delays brother
