HCMC Interview roll call

[ViQuoc 0]

Great news ViQuoc!! Did they ask her any questions when she dropped off the docs?

nope they didn't ask her anything (no interview). when she come in to turn in the paper at window B the lady just take her paper and said wait. when she came out she give my wife the pink slip and told her to come back next week (10/29/10) to pick the VISA.

Scott is your wife here yet?. she got her visa already right?..

[Ronnie&Hang 12]

Congratz ViQuoc..

They just informed us that Hang needed to be interview again after turn in the Pol. Cert..since the last interview is over one year. I wonder if it is a full interview like last time or just a short one..anyone?

ViQuoc...Congrats!!!! Another person off the AP list.

Scott, I have no clue as to what their doing there. I dont think there is a year limit from interview to decision as there are others that have been in AP longer than us, but who knows, certainly not me. The inquiry my senator made for me produced a letter from the acting consular section cheif (unsigned) stating our case is pending further review by a consular officer to determine if a bonifide relationship exists between Duyen and I.

I cant friggin cant believe that. And they refer to her as "Ms. and not Mrs. I considered writing them about that but decided to to cause trouble.

Now one would think, with the resources they have availabe plus ALL the information (sworn and notarized) I have given them, all the additional info we both have given them and my 4 trips that they would have come to the conclusuion that our marriage and relationship is indeed legit. All they need to do is LOOK AT THE FACTS, it doesnt take a sleuth to see the truth, it shouldnt take a year or more to finish any investigation. All I can say is they better get it right.

Agreed... I was actually really happy to get the phone calls as that was at least some sign they were doing something..

yes..shes been here 2 weeks now...

Ronnie,

I'll be surprised if they dont ask for another DS230... since its been an entire year+ after the first interview.. does she have to wait for them to schedule it?

*hey frank i know that is stupid how they refer our wife as "MS. not Mrs." but i guess that how they do it.

like you know my senator got an e-mail from Sarah K. Bellman Acting Consular Section Chief three week ago and she did the same thing too, she refer my wife as Ms. not Mrs. but whatever don't worry about it.

*************again i like to said thank you to everyone here for there blessing***********

Ronnie,

She got the letter and I got the reply email telling her to come in to submit the PC and she will get another interview afterward. I do not know if it is another questions session when she comes in or will be a full scheduled interview at a later date. Hang will come in Monday and will find out..This is really frustrating, they're really dragging it out so one thing after the other expired..I feel like we're going in a loop.

Hang came in to turn in the PC. They confirmed that they had received the Medical but didn't ask her any question, just told her to go home and wait. I am prepared a new DS230..anticipating a new interview but don't know when..I guess I have to wait for the interview date before fly back

ps: to make the situation bad..she lost her cell phone in the taxi when she got dropped off at the Consulate.

That's normal in Vietnam, at least it is where I work. We call everybody Mr. and Ms., regardless of marital status.

Yeah I get that, but at the time it seemed like a dig from the consulate, especially when reffering to my wife with my US representative. Im over it and have my patient hat back on.

Hey, guys, this is what I just got from an e-mail inquiry. Should I be optimistic or does it even mean anything?

Dear Sir/Madam,

A consular officer has reviewed the beneficiary's case, however, the

case requires further review. The beneficiary will be notified by our

office regarding next steps in processing her case shortly.

[ScottThuy 140]

IMO further review = investigation like they did us... the phone call interviews and or the visit to the home...

I swear those taxi drivers have a racket on used cell phones.. my BiL lost his Iphone not too long ago in the taxi.. within minutes the phone was turned off and history...

That really sucks that they didnt have the case buttoned up when she was there... likely they will end up sending her a new interview letter based on that last email... shouldnt be too much longer....
