HCMC Post-Interview: White slip after Blue slip?

[ScottThuy 140]

Call the DoS and ask what the case status is.. 202-663-1225

getting the pics back without a denial is a potential good sign...

[ScottThuy 140]

did you call? what did they say?

[Huong and Phung 0]

hahaha is this thread Dead Scott? Hope he's still going forward with it. hahahah

yes, i called that number and was told "the case is under processing".

And as of today, my wife in VN still haven't received any notice from the HCMC (since getting all the pics back on August 24).

What should I do? If I write to Congressman for help, what would be the content to convince him/her to help (otherwise they would just ignore the letter)?

Please advise. Thanks.

All a congressman can do is make an inquiry... the consulate is required to respond to the congressional inquiry.. but they dont have to do anything other than provide a status update. Read through the Ap pinned topic in VN regional as there are plenty of examples of what to expect.

hi all,

I wrote to Congressman but so far no response...I contacted HCMC via e-mail about the status of the case and if I could setup an appointment with the CO, etc.. The replied e-mail said the case is still under review, and there is a time 4pm-5pm every Tues & Wed that a staff member could answer questions from US petitioners only (status of case, submit documents, etc..but no meeting or interview).

Is it a good idea to submit additional and new pictures or proofs to my case? Please advise. Thanks.

You will just have to wait it out when dealing with the Consulate in Saigon.

Another advise is to fly back to visit your SO and go in the Consulate at the time you mentioned above to make an inquiry in person and bring any additional stuffs you may want to show..that may get you the immediately answer you are seeking. It worked in lots of cases before, but like everything..it's not a 100%.

in some cases additional info submitted has caused additional delays... much like getting put to the end of the line all over again...

Agreed to that..That why I suggested the walk-in as another option. Each case is diff and only the petition knows what the best course to proceed with the lowest risks

Hello everyone,

About 2 months ago, two Consular representatives (one American and one Vietnamese) went to my wife's residence to check for evidence (looking at pictures, receipt money was sent, daily Yahoo video calls, etc...) while calling me directly from my wife's cell phone (she has my number on her phone along with our many pictures) to verify my existence. They asked me similar questions they asked my wife to double check. At the end of that visit, my wife asked them how long she has to wait and was told by the Vietnamese representative that "it won't be long as the last time" (the last time my wife had interview was last July when she received the white slip as this topic was about). My wife then told me they were talking to each other about our evidence matched, etc...

It has been more than 2 months and we still haven't received any response regarding the case beside the general response (when we sent e-mail) such as "the case is still under additional processing....etc..). We've also had a Senator writing letter requesting the case update and also receiving the "general" response.

What should we do? Please advise. Thank you very much for your help.
