K 1 visa with ohter issues In VN

[iluvnoodles 0]

Hello VJ members.

Well I have a few questions to ask members of this board. Let me start with my story.

I met my fiance in Hue Vn. 2008. We had our Dinh Hon "engagement cerermony" April of this year.

I sent my K1 petition the following month and the us embassy in Vietnam replied to her begining of Sept.

They requested 2 forms sent to them to set up a interview date, form Ds 230 can't remember the other form number.

Wedecided its best to send it out mid November because she is due Dec. 6 were having a baby girl yay.

Well My question is how long does the u.s embassy in Hcm take to complete the Report Birth overseas document?

I plan on being in Hcm during my fiance interview. Im pretty much clue less on how the process works.

Maybe someone here can shed some light on this situation. Another thing is I told my fiance to leave the baby at home with her grandmom in Hue.

She dosen't want to,So how many days do you all think I need to be in Hcm to complete all the paper work so she and my wife can have a visa to enter the us? I'm leaving the end of November and plan on returning after Lunar New years Jan 25 2011! Well do you think I should extend my stay there until they both have visas? That way I won't have to make a second trip home to bring them here.

Sorry if its kinda hard to read its getting late . Thanks for the help VJ.

She won't get a visa until after the CRBA has been issued. First, read the CRBA instructions for the consulate in HCMC:

http://hochiminh.usconsulate.gov/report_of_birth_abroad.html

All three of you should attend the CRBA appointment if at all possible - you, your fiancee, and your baby. Make sure you have all of the documents listed on that website page.

I've seen a CRBA completed in HCMC in as little as three weeks and as long as three months. You don't have to wait in VN for the process to be completed. You just need to try to be there for the initial appointment.

The child will not be getting a visa. It will be getting a US passport. I suggest you also get a VN passport for the child. If you don't then you'll need to get an exit visa from the VN government or the child won't be able to leave VN.

We started in March 09 and had our CRBA done in a couple weeks. I was there for it and got grilled by the VN staff. I had a lot of travel and long periods overseas with the army to explain. The American guy was ok. Follow the instructions on the Consulate website. Be prepared to have a DNA requirement thrown down on you. It was a little pricey for us and the convenience factor was not really there, but be patient and it will work.

Linh had an interview same month as well but did not get her visa right away, we had to submit some other stuff (DNA) but was finally granted in june.

Not doubting your post Jim, our sons US passport does not have a exit stamp in it for some reason and he does not have a VN passport. Maybe an anomally?
