This is strange. Maybe the CO didnt have a good day that day? I see other post that someone didnt attend the beneficiary interview but they still had the visa. 

Sorry cant help out since im at the beginning of this journey ..

You could go to Vietnam, marry her, and file for a CR-1 visa. The process will take about a year.

Another case of denial when the U.S. citizen (USC) was not at the interview in HCMC. I went to my fiancee's interview and witnessed a lot of denials. It is a very tough consulate. There is absolutely no doubt that in Vietnam, the USC should be at the interview. My advice: Don't schedule an interview if you can't be there. If you can't afford to go, that may be a red flag. The financial aspect of the process is huge - they're looking for stability and enough income to support the non-working fiancee. And being by her side says a lot - it's a great optic that shows support and commitment.

I agree if you have a weak case then you probably should attend the interview to substantiate serious intent. 

 

My wife when she attended her interview alone also saw many denials though she had a good laugh while she waited a very long time because a lot of the applicants were ill prepared and provided the CO loads of doubt. (Mainly K1 denials opposed to IR1/CR1)

My wife attended her k1 interview without me but we front loaded our file. She told the CO asked her a lot of questions even though we had full supporting documents after about 30 questions or so the CO approved our file and her visa was issued within a week. Maybe the CO had doubts about the OPs K1 file or not enough supporting docs?? Sorry that she didn't get her approval.
