hi all,

We're filing CR-1. My wife received packet 4 with the interview appt. letter from the US Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh, Viet nam.

Now the instructions list documents to bring to the interview. It ask for the DS-230 part 1 and part 2. But we're already filed DS-230 part 1. Do we have to fill it again?

It also asked for I-864 which I already submitted to the NVC. I thought the Consulate should have these documents when the NVC send them our files.

The instructions also mention to do not bring photo albums, just bring loose photo. We have lots of photos in albums. It would be a pain to remove them and keep them in order. So has anyone heard of this loose photos requirement?

BTW, is there a packet 3 from the Consulate? My wife received the packet 4 so far.

Thanks,

Tung

As you will find out, there are differences between the many embassies thru out the world. But in short, what is submitted at NVC is also required as follow up at the Interview of your embassy. I cannot say for sure that is the case, but this is the case in amny other embassies,and as others read this article, they would be better suited in veriffying what is needed in Vietnam. The reason this is ...is that NVC will many times keep the documents you send them, and not forward all of them to the Consulate. So as part of the Inteview Process, they require all original Documents. So you submit all the Originals at the Interview in addition to NVC. Hope that helps.
