US Immigration from Vietnam

Hello All,

My wife just had an emergency interview at HCMC on 10/6/21.

Consulate interview did not last that long, asked a few questions then handed my wife a 221(g) Blue form asking for 15 years of history (did not keep passport).

Siblings name, and birthdate

15 years of residence information

15 years of employment history

15 years of traveling history (visited other countries)

Have ever held another passport

child name, and birthdate

All spouses current and previous with birthdate

5 years of phone numbers

Social Media account 5 years

Phone number used past 5 years

name, visa type, and birthdate

Do we simply just provide the answers for these questions?

Should we include a letter describing when our relationship start until present?

My wife and I fear if we did not provide sufficient information, our visa will be denied.

Previously on the i-130 and the ds-260 form, we only included 5 years of history.

My wife traveled to Russia for tourism purposes and overstayed for 10 months from 05/10 - 03/11 (do we need a police certificate)?

I have confirmed with the civil document, only if she ever lived in another country more than 12 months or currently reside in another country more than 6 month then we will need to provide a police certificate from that country.

Anyone can provide insight to this matter is greatly appreciated.

We have read a lot of people stating the CO does not believe our relationship hence the extended background check.

We just received the notice from NVC that they will notify the HoChi Minh Embassy to schedule my wifes interview. The new Oct. 1 requirement mandates 2 COVID shots be proven at the Medical Physical. I thought I had read that there is a religous or medical exemption but now cannot locate it. Can anyone advise?

Thanks in advance.

Has any one gotten a visa interview at the Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam Consulate since July 2021? Can not understand why after the lockdown they are still not granting interviews?

Greetings, everyone!

We had a quick question about the sponsor's income requirement for the K1 visa. I am the sponsor, an American citizen working for an international organization in Vietnam. My beneficiary is Vietnamese and we have already submitted the I-129f. My work can be conducted completely online, and I would like to continue working for this organization for a year or so after moving back to the US.

My salary for this job is well above the poverty minimum for a household of two. If I make it clear that I would be able to continue working in this job remotely from the US, do you think I would be able to meet the requirements for the affidavit of support for K1?

Thank you kindly in advance!

Hi all,

I just found out USCIS changed the filing address for form I-131.

https://www.uscis.gov/i-131-addresses

But i filed concurrently with my I485 and I765.

Anyone has the same problem with this? Would it affect my timeline or they reject the form?

TIA
