@ToNhi well then dont include any sign. just say that this is the engagement. few pictures will be ok if they ask to see your pictures. you have to choose the engagement picture carefully. no ring exchange picture. if you have a party at the restaurant just show them those pictures at the restaurant only. cuz I know vietnamese ceremony more formal at home with the altar and decoration. picture in the traditional dress is ok no wedding dress picture. you only talk about the engagement if they ask. whatever they ask just tell them short and clear answer. no additional detail until being asked. you dont have to worry about your fiance cant speak English. you guys have a common language which is vietnamese is enough. that is all my suggestion for now. good luck.

@ToNhi well if you bring your engagement party picture, make sure you have to include the word "le dinh hon" to make it clear to the consulate that this is the ENGAGEMENT. yes i read on here many people receive blue slips for going K1 but getting married in Vietnam is quite a hassle with lots of documents required. and the CR1 has longer waiting time than K1 this year. that is why we choose K1. I also prepare my documents and hope for the best for my interview since that is all i can do. this website has many useful info. good luck. hope you can share your interview experience with us later on.

@ToNhi, I am also from Vietnam. I think you should not include "Le Vu Quy" sign for the interview. "Le Dinh Hon" is ok as dinh hon means engagement while "Vu Quy" usually for wedding. I also file for K1 and dont do any ceremony cuz i read many info on VJ here that the Consulate can misinterpret the engagement ceremony as a wedding. I also worry about the interview myself as the consulate in HCM is tough on K1. anyway, good luck on your interview.

Hi all. Right now I and my fiance is just at NOA1 stage and the estimate says that maybe in Oct 2024 I will receive decision. I hope for that. I know timeline estimate on this website is for reference only. However I wonder if the timeline correctly predict the date to your case?

Hi all, I want to share our timeline for others. I have seen others timeline on here for my country and it was super quick maybe within 6 months. Excited for my timeline since my fiance just got a text for NOA1. Been checking the update since I got the email from my attorney that they sent the petition. I tracked the USPS since it was sent. Finally got news for NOA1. I will update timeline as it comes. Sent petition: July 25 2024 NOA1: July 30 2024
