Yah, I am pretty sure that my case is one of the most roughest cases. It got 2 times checklist at NVC and 2 months 22 days expansion of DNA testing process

However, I would like to inform you guys that my case has been approved! So excited to wait for visa-in-hand.

After receiving the DNA result, the US Consulate in Ho Chi Minh will process my case in 1 week and three days. I emailed them to ask whether I can go to submit the passport. And it worked, instead of waiting for the letter!

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your inquiry.

We are pleased to inform you that your visa application has been approved and the notification of this approval has been mailed to you at the following address at xxxx HUNG VUONG, PHUONG 1, QUAN 10, TP.

You should bring this email and any documents bearing the case number HCM XXXX-XXX-XXX.

If you have further inquiries, please DO NOT reply to this email but submit your inquiry to:

Do they want the DNA test for every case? We are waiting for an interview date now. I am the petitioner and my husband and I have a son. Do you think they will request a DNA test for my son and husband?

Also, can the petitioner attends the interview too?
