I think Scott said you can do a walk-in at Cho Ray if you get there early in the morning, and maybe come across with a little coffee money. Any chance you could go to HCMC a few days before the interview and give it a shot?

Thanks Jim for the respose. Hanh went to Cho Ray 6 times and tried what Scott suggested. They asked her for 100 dollars US, then called her and said that it could not be done because the doctors have meetings for 2 weeks in Sept. I talked to Scott and he thinks this is bull. I am going to arrive the Saturday before her Wednesday interview, but I don't know if that will be enough time to try again with her. We have worked so hard on this whole thing, it seems unfair that they throw this obstacle at us at this stage of the ordeal!

Hi to all..

Congrats on your PINK !!! I am sorry to maybe ask a silly question, or to hijack this thread but... Is there some new blood in the consulate in HCM city ?? Wow !! If this is true, it would surely be nice if things could change for the better there. Even if it was just a little. I am only just starting this "quest" for a visa for my future wife. But like many others here, I will do anything to be with the one I love. Anything !! Just the thought of the odds being a bit better makes me come down a notch or two on the stressometer.

Howdy,

Not a silly question at all. There is some new blood. The day Tien interviewed, on August 6th, a new guy started heading up the visa section. The best part about it is that he is Viet-Khieu. I am pretty sure I saw that mentioned in another thread somewhere on here right around when Tien told me about him. Here is a link to the article she sent me.

You should consider finding a Dich Vu for the medical. You pay them about the same and chances are more likely that you'll be able to get in before the interview then without one. Ask around, I'm sure someone knows someone...if you can't happen to find one, I can ask my husband (he might know...).

Thank Linda, I could not find a translation for"Dich Vu", please explain. My fiancee hired an attorney and got an appointment before our date. Now I just hope she can get the results in time!

It means a service.. a person that helps you for $... There are many Dich Vu available when it comes to everything immigration related...

She will get the results the next afternoon as long as her health is strong... pray for no sputum test...
