grats man

soulstriker,

Thank you so much for the good luck wishes. Just got off the phone with my fiancee Duong and she just told that the US Consulate interview date was changed by the US Consulate to Friday January 13th. :dancing: I guess they think that January 24th is too close to Tet holiday and this is why they changed it. US Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City will be closed for Tet holiday from Thursday January 26th through Wednesday February 1st. Will start to look for airfares to Vietnam now. I will be at Duong's visa interview.

Good luck to you!

KASH2011,

Duong's visa interview was just moved up to Friday January 13th, 2017 by US Consulate. I guess they are moving interview dates so close to Tet holiday to get visas processed and complete before Tet holiday.

Hello Everyone!

So I am still waiting for an interview date :( Do you guys know how long that takes? I submitted by DS-160 form 2 nights ago and on the ceac website it says READY, the date was updated 11/30/16. Is it likely I will get a interview date for this month or maybe january ?

Larrie:

Once your case says ready it normally takes one week or long for the US Consulate to confirm that they have received your approved visa petition. You can always the US Consulate and asked for verification of receipt of your approved visa interview.

Best of luck to you and your fiancee during this process.

You also need to pay the visa application fee before you can schedule an interview. This can be done in the ustraveldocs website.
