Some people my fiancee know in Vietnam. To be honest, I think they misunderstood or do not understand why other cases were delayed so they think it's that. Old Vietnamese folks (parents, grandparents). If the US consulate is going to delay, then it should send me a notice or it should be in the consulate news. I do not believe it, but I just want to confirm if anyone heard about this.

Many VN live on rumors or the spreading of rumors. Don't believe anything.
