Interview Next Month

[Dan Nguyen 3]

My wife is having her IV interview next month in HCMC. We're legally married with a child. But, I hear that makes no difference at this consulate. Anybody has any advice? What to do, what not to do. What to submit, what not to submit, etc...

Thanks.

I suggest doing some reading in the Vietnam regional forum to learn what is expected at the interview. Just going in and showing baby pictures and a marriage license will not be sufficient.

Here's what we have for the interview.

o Photos (2007 - 2011)

o Travel Itineraries (Visit Vietnam 7 times.)

o Money Transfers (2007 - 2009)

o Correspondence

o Wedding Invitation

o Registration of Stay (2007 - 2011)

o Marriage Certificate

o Daughter’s Birth Certificate

o Daughter’s CRBA

o Daughter’s U.S. Passport

I've been living with my wife and daughter since Dec. 2009. The only evidence we have of this are the Registrations of Stay that I am require to file with local police and the Visa Extensions stamps on my Passport every three months. Also, everyone in the neighborhood sees me here everyday for the past year and a half.

I am a U.S. citizen staying in Vietnam temporarily and she is a Vietnamese citizen so we do not have anything joint such as checking, saving, life insurance, ownership of home, land, etc...

Is this enough? What else can I give them?

Are you all ready with the affidavit of support?

Some more evidence that you are living together as a married couple in VN would be very good evidence. Perhaps a couple of affidavits as well from people that know you two.

I already submitted I-864 and supporting documents to the NVC. Does it need to be submitted again?

I think I have a fairly strong case. We should be approve if it's any other consulate besides HCMC. These guys don't seem to go by any kind of rules. Even cases with plenty of evidence are refused for some unknown reason.
