Vietnamese Consulate SF

[obrakeo 15]

Howdy all,

 

Anyone here that's had any experience with the Vietnamese consulate in San Francisco.  I'm trying to find some information on fees for certifying signatures on documents meant for use in Vietnam.  I've called the consulate and they NEVER answer the phone, it's ridiculous.  Their website just states that there are "fees" for consular services, but with no information as to amounts.

 

Any experience anyone?

Did you try contacting them by email? Maybe they answer those more often than the phone.

Please include "handling fee" to every item you need them to complete, otherwise they will call you to ask for additional fee submission thus delays your paper.

I ran into the same issue when getting my documents together to get married in Vietnam, MAKE SURE you have every document requested... I emailed and called all 3 Embassy's and was given $350.00 - $750.00. I ended up sending in my documents to the Washington D.C. Embassy because they quoted me the $350.00 by phone and email. 3 weeks after I overnight shipped the documents for them to certify I called to ask why I had not received them back since the check had been cashed... They told me since I was divorced and since I was a "white american citizen" I would need to pay $50.00 additional. I told the Embassy person that I had an Email from them quoting the price of "$350.00", also included in said email was my age, marital status, race, sex... after about 1 hour on the phone she reluctantly agreed to process our documents at no additional charge after I sent them the email they had sent me..... I had my papers 2 days later and $50.00 richer!
