So I am American and I'm getting my British husband a green card. We are living in Vietnam and we've been here for over a year and have to get a police check from here. We got one a while back, but it turns out we got the wrong one (checked box 1 instead of 2) so now we have to get a new one. We went into the ministry of Justice in HCMC this time and ordered a new one and they told us it takes 3 weeks just like last time. I'm a little concerned though because I've read online recently about people going in and they tell you it's not ready and that you have to wait an additional 3 weeks. Has this ever happened to anyone in HCMC? How common is it for them to need additional time? Thanks!

It took 3 days for my wife after she slipped them VND 500,000 coffee money. Came in Tues and had it ready for pick up Fri afternoon. The lady who took the money even called my wife to let her know that it was ready to pick up!

coffee money helps a lot!

As far as I know, it takes about 20 days in Vietnam to get a police certificate. That happened to my step-mother and step-brother.

something is wrong, it took 5 days for my wife.

If you give them coffee money, you'll get yours faster. My step-mother gave no coffee money as it was not necessary in her opinion. I also agreed with that. So they waited for 20 days and got the police documents.

i consider coffee money as expedite option. if you want something quicker, then you have to pay extra, just like fedex, ups, usps, etc...
