US Immigration from Vietnam

My wife just had her interview. She aced the civics part. She did not pass the English part. On the N-652, it states that she "will have another opportunity fo test your ability to

x speak

x understand English.

There is no "x" next to the "read" and "write".

So I'm guessing she's going to have a second chance at the portions marked "x" only? She doesn't have to deal with the read and write?

Finally, she told me it was a long question of "have you ever...." that threw her off. That and the follow up question of "why not?". She told me she answered every short and straight forward questions correctly.

Hello all,

I submitted an inquiry on AskNVC website to change my son's case back to F2A since he is not aged out thanks to CSPA. They responded last Monday 10/07: "To Whom it Concerns:

The correspondence submitted is currently under review. An appropriate action will be taken once this review is completed.

Has anyone been through this wait and do you know how long they will be done with their review? Thanks y'all

Inquiry was submitted after all fees were paid and IV application was completed

Hi Everyone,

Back in 2018 I had my name legally changed because the name on my ID did not match my SSC or birth certificate because of an apparent clerical error from when i was born.

To make it less confusing i will say my "real" name is Gary and the incorrect name was Geary. I know how stupid that sounds but it is actually really close to what the actual mistake was.

I found out in 2017 and went through the process of getting it changed and a new SSC.

I have went by "Gary" my whole life, it's on my ID, school records, lease documents. And most importantly my criminal record.

I was arrested in 2015 and the record says "Gary" and not "Geary" what my legal name actually was at that time. Since my name change document is from 2018 saying i changed my name to Gary and the arrest is from 3 years earlier, will that be a problem?

I (petitioner) am preparing my i-129f and have a question regarding criminal history. The only arrest i have is for possession of a controlled substance (marijuana) but I was released with no charges being filed. I do have a copy of the arrest record and a separate document showing my conviction history (which has nothing on it).

Those are the only documents I could get regarding the case. There are no court records, anything showing I was released without charges being filed, or why i was released with no charges filed. I asked the arresting precinct and city clerk and there was nothing else.

Should I include the reason of being released without charges in Part 3 Section 4b? Or just give the circumstances of the arrest and that is was released without charges?

Would the 2 documents be sufficient?

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.
