K-1 Visa Approved without Front-Loading

[ToNhi 13]

Just curious to see if anyone else had been approved for a K-1/CR-1 or any other types of marriage-based visas from the Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam Embassy (a high fraud consulate) without front-loading and also submitting the bare minimum. My immigration consultant that I used had worked for the Ho Chi Minh City embassy as a Visa Supervisor 20 years ago but she basically sent the most minimum barebone packet for our K-1 application. We did not include a relationship timeline, a family tree, chat logs, socia media screenshots, statements from family members, or any photos of our Dinh Hon/engagement party and were approved anyways.

The only thing that she sent into USCIS for our petition was:

I-129F petition itself,

Our 2x2 photos,
Non-long form birth certificates,

~20 photos of us together at non-landmark locations and photos with family and friends from before our engagement party (non-dated and no names or names of location included in the back)

Copies of passport stamps + boarding passes

No hotel/travel receipts and chat records were included

The interviewer literally asked us a few questions each (petitioner and beneficiary) and we were approved. They maybe looked through about ~20 of our Dinh Hon/engagement photos when I forced them through the window slot nearing the end of the interview before she gave us the results. 

Just curious to see if anyone else has had this easy of an experience. All of the stories that I read about Vietnam being super difficult was untrue.

@ToNhi Not Ho Chi Minh. And not sure what you are asking? Be glad for your smooth approval.

 

Congratulations on your K1. But you still have long processes ahead of you: US entry, AOS, etc., of which any number of things can happen if you lose focus or not prepared for the details. As the football coaches say, focus on your next play.
