Interview dates

[Sam2889 4]

I got DQ'd on 24th of May for IR-1/CR-1 visa. Does anyone know the current wait times from being DQ'd to obtaining an interview date at the US consulate in Ho Chi Minh City, especially with the increase in covid cases? Thanks.

typical from DQ date - email interview letter date, 5 weeks

email interview letter date - actual interview date , 4-5 weeks

Thank you! Do you know if these estimates still hold true, given the closure of the US consulate until June 11th (maybe more)

It will add on any time that it is closed.  That is what happened last year.  Everything just stopped for a few months.  When it opened again they still had the same priority order as when it closed, thus the same average wait time for others already in the que before your appointment.  For example my wife was DQ June 1 but our interview was November 2.  5-6 weeks beyond the time they were closed.

This is helpful. Thank you! I hope this time the closure is not for several months and things move quickly
