Dich Vu

[long&kieu 1]

Hey you guys…something I’ve been curious about…Have many of you guys hired a Dich Vu for your wife or fiancé and is it worth it?? And when hiring a Dich Vu, would you hire one in the city you wife or fiancé lives in or in Ho Chi Minh City?? Thanks, Long.

VJ guides and posts with uscis information is enough to do this. You do not need to hire someone.

waste of money. And I'd think a good dich vu would be hcm-based as that's where the consulate is and they need "co`" to run back n forth there

Dich Vu or "travel agent" that we used was worth it for us. The organization and paperwork organization was top notch. Good interview prep in Vietnamese for my SO too.

I was thinking this moreso to help my wife over there with what she has to gather...she doesn't go to Ho Chi Minh often and I thought it would be a good idea to have someone help with the process on her end...

Where did you go?? How much was it?? Thanks, Long.

There was no Dich Vu on my end as I did all the paperwork myself. We did though hired Dich Vu to arrange all the paperwork and double check everything, also helped her with interview questions in Saigon. It was only $150 dollars and it was really worth it because the lawyer went over all the interview questions with my fiancee (3 times on different days). He helped my fiancee to find the best possible answers to questions. To yes it is beneficial to have Dich Vu prepping my fiancee.

don't know how hard the cr-1 process is...but for k-1 you don't need a dich vu. i did most of the paperworks myself in the USA. all my fiance had to do was go get the police certificate and official birth certs with the seal (and she lives 2 hrs away from any major city). the immigration places in the usa wanted to charge me 1k, the vietnam after i received packet 3 wanted to charge $300. if you're even semi-competent and can use google you're set, if you're already here on VJ then you don't need it.

don't know what all this "best possible answers to questions" is, i thought being truthful is the best? from my experience 2 kinds of people go the dich vu route...1 they don't have time to diy or clueless, 2 it's to have the best shot at getting through.

hate the seedy dich vu right across the street from the CO...they have these co`waiting as you park harassing and trying to stir up fear telling people they NEED to go there before the interview to let them double check your papers etc...i basically told them to F off

Of course all "best possible answers to questions" were truthful. However, it is good to prepare ahead as sometimes people get nervous and the truth might appear to be lies. It was also a boost of confidence to the fiancee. $150 dollars was definitely worth it -this coming from the fiancee'. And yes you are right, it is the best shot at getting through. We did get pink at the first interview, with 2-3 questions asked and the CO even forgot to ask my fiancee to do the oath.

The key is here is preparation and I might have overdone it but we didn't have to through the rollercoaster emotions and pain of getting blue.

Sometimes people with too much confidence find it out the hard way.

Perfect question for me to answer since I really want to refer you to Marc Ellis Office.

First of all, my wife did have a great interview preparation with Mr.Nam there at his office. Over 300+ questions provided to us for preparation. I would recommend you to go there and ask for a quote.

My first experience with I.O.M was hell. I hate to mention about I.O.M because the lady there did a horrible job at preparing my wife the first round of interview. But, we manage to get a good medical exam there for my wife. Much better than the hell hole Cho Ray.

So that's my experience with "Dich Vu". NO to I.O.M and YES to Marc Ellis. Good luck my VJfriend.

Regardless of whether or not you use dich vu, you are still the main person and the one who cares the most about your case. You must still be vigilant and double and triple check everything before submitting.

Plus 1 for not hiring dich vu. You have to pull, sort and collect all the documents (proof of your relationship), photos, and complete the necessary USCIS/NVC forms whether you do it yourself or hire dich vu. All the dich vu does is bundle it up and mail it for you. You really want to pay $300 or so for that expensive postage stamp?

It's not that hard nor time consuming. I did the CR-1 for my wife and glad I saved that money for other purposes, like paying towards the USCIS/NVC fees.
