Visa approved, no "dam Hoi", no "Engagement" ..blah..blah.blah..

[xgrnberet1 19]

My Fiancee Visa was approved, waited almost over 4 hours , 5 minutes interview, 3 minutes of that relating to my divorced (5 years ago), didn't ask for pictures, didn't ask about "Dam Hoi", "Engagement party", or " wedding party" , blah..blah..blah...not everybody is traditional as I said earlier , may be some, and the Consulate DO NOT, and I said again, DO NOT required you to have "Dam Hoi", or "Engagement Party" as many BS rumors from all the dramas Kings and Queens indicated, I only visited my fiancee ONCE!! they didn't look at any pics or chat logs etc... as long as you turned in all corrected documents and met all the requirements they asked for, and everything will be approved ahead of time , as we all knew this. So there,DO NOT buying into "Dam Hoi", this " Engagement Party" that in addition to dressing up traditional outfits to impressed the consular (this just make it more suspicious, because its been know in VN, they do fake ceremonies for a price, to make it more believable to the consulate) and wasting all your hard earned money and vacation time ,and enjoy it when she is here in the States. These are the questions was asked: NO BS no dramas.

-How we met

-How many time I visited and how long we spent time together

-Where and when I proposed to marry her

-What is my job title

-What I do for living

-What is the name of the company name I'm currently work for

-Do you know he served in the US Arm Forces, and do you know how long he served

-Why did I divorce my ex (they was very interested in my past marriage, fiancee keep answering the exact same answer "they didn't get along")

-What was the reasons that lead to divorced (still very interested in my past marriage)

-Why couldn't I work it out with my ex and resolved the problems (they finally gave in and stop asking more questions relating to my past marriage)

- The man who was interviewing her finally told her, your Visa is approved

Congrats! I agree each situation is totally different. We had no Dam Hoi, engagement party, etc. We saw each other on 4 occasions over a year (not all in VN) but no pictures, chat logs or emails were requested. Now we are hoping the AOS process moves just as smoothly.

Thank-you for all the congrats, good luck and good journey to all .

Fiancee offered 5 pics of us together ( and that was all we had) , the man told her, no need they already have the pics of us from the packet I sent in when I first petitioned for her.

Cant prove it, but perhaps being ex-military helped. This country is still in soldier worshipping mode.

Congratulations!

I don't think that anyone said that you must have an engagement party for the k1 to be approved, just that it may help . I am glad that you had an easy interview, however, I have read of others who have done all the proper paperwork but had a hard time.

Dan, I patiently followed/studies and researched everything from this awesome VisaJourney website guides ( to the 'n'th degree, over and over and over, until everything made sense), then I squeezed the trigger and filed for the petition accordingly. I believed in facts,simplicity and common sense. I made sure when Adjudicators/CO look into my petition, they saw everything that are filed correctly and required by law. I leave nothing for for them to question and doubt , meaning everything ( forms and documents) is filled out correctly ,no over/under documents or extras provided (just what it required), and as simple and professionally done as it can be, to a point. No BS, no non-sense, Thank-you and good luck to all.

Hey congrats on the approval, just curious as to how long did you have to wait, from the time u received your receipt number from USCIS to the time it took to get the packet to HCMC consulate for them to send the packet to your fiancee? basically, whats the first initial wait time upon USCIS issuing a receipt number?

Thank you for your input.

cyntek, the wait was actually 10 working days, however, the HCM consulate received the electronic file within 5 days, and the hard physical file 5 days after that, so the grand total days of waiting was 10 days, hope that answered your question.

that sounds super quick.

i was asking in regards to when you file the actual k1 I 129, to USCIS, to finally when you got the approval from USCIS. i think for one person, it took about 4 months. i was just wondering how long it took for you. im in the initial review stages, the early stages of the process..

thanks again!
