did a search and a user by the name of "Matt Stevens" did a k1 in vietnam about the exact same Time I will be doing it. his case finished in 5 months. If I get my case done in 9 months, then it's possible to go through. I hope they dont give me a hard time.

Keep in mind that matt to my knowledge filed pre IMBRA. Things have been moving at a slower pace generally since the implementation of the IMBRA. Much also depends on the service center you have to file through, amongst other things.

Also Matt filed from Vermont where his wait from NOA1 to NOA2 was like 10 days. Since you are living in California, you're wait will automatically be months longer than his.

Yodrak said it all.

One thing I know if you plan to have a wedding in Vietnam by a church official (priest, pastor, rev.) you MUST have a Marriage Certificate. Vietnam Government will not allow, will withdraw the Priest's license, and shut-down your wedding ceremony/reception (local POLICE) IF you did have a wedding ceremony/reception performs by a PRIEST or PASTOR. The priest and pastor himself will be put in prison for ILLEGALLY perform an UNREGISTERED wedding ceremony. The local police and city police will invite everyone back to the local station for some VC style of questioning method. That's the reason why the Priest/Pastor you mentioned would not do the Wedding for you.

I personally experienced this issue when Kim's pastor kindly refuse to perform even the "religious" wedding ceremony for us back in 2004 at her Church for this very reason: No marriage certificate, no wedding.

I'm echoing many members here: go back in Feb first and talk it over with your honey and the family (hers and yours). Maybe they can change their schedule which something they have control over, but not you and the USCIS' process. You do not have control over the USCIS' time table. I hope this helps, since I've gotten a bit confused to where you stand on the issue by now...

Good luck and keep the questions coming....

love

chuck and kim
