My wife just passed the interview this morning in Vietnam. CO didn't even check any documents which she brought to the interview. It has been a long journey man.

Chances they wont help since we are in secuirty checks and this is part of the embassy part of the petition.  But never know. When we were rescheduled they told me I would have to contact embassy to confrim the date since they rescheduled us 2 days after nvc scheduled us.  According to Ceac we been in AP at least 3 days before our interview date.

Was on hold for 30 minutes, and the lady said it's still in AP,  and had asked if my husband had returned his passport which I was able to confirm. She said something that the embassy is doing the AP and they might not be running at full because of the shutdown. (I had asked about the shut down) The embassy should have enough money.... there is a backlog for nearly 10 months to get a tourist visa.... plus they are super understaffed.
