US Immigration from Vietnam

Hello everyone,

My fiance and I are at the interview stage with the US embassy in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. We are confident in proving our love, however there is one potential flag that worries us. My fiance previously tried applying for student visas before we did the K1 visa and she failed twice. I know the US embassy will ask about it. She's a doctor in Vietnam but wanted to study to learn more in the medical field and broaden herself to apply to her clinic. We're worried that because of her previous visa attempts, they will think that she's trying to come to the US through the K1 visa. We're truly are in love and want to be together and have been waiting a long time, through COVID, trying to be together. Please advise on what we can do. Thank you very much.

Warmest Wishes,

Andrew Truong and Ngan Duong

Hi, everyone. The I-797 that I received after sending I-751 is going to expired on 03/22/2021.

My case is still in revision, I just check it today. Nothing news.

I was trying to find any information about extending I-797. In the past, before Covid, they said I supposed to make an appointment with the USCIS for this.

But now, the USCIS website does not allow any appointment due to Covid.

I need my drive license renew too.

I don't know what do now

So, starting from square one (i.e., wife just became naturalized), is there a faster and/or cheaper option for bringing her parents to live in the U.S. between these two?

A) Applying for green cards while they are in their home country (I know there is still a suspension on visas being issued, but can the process still move along up to the issuance point?)

B) Trying to have them come on B-2 tourist visas, then applying for AOS while they are here (are B-2 visas even being issued right now?)

I know everything is screwy right now; just wondered if one way would generally be preferable to another in terms of time, cost, requirements, etc. Thanks!

Finally decided to bite the bullet and head home to the US. I'v been in Vietnam for more than two years and haven't left VN at all since January 2020. Tickets bought for the three of us for March 25. I'm ready. I'm burnt out on Vietnam. It wasn't bad the first year here when I could go home for two weeks every two months for a first world culture break. It's been trying to never leave. Yeah, it's nice there is no COVID - I think we are around 2,100 total cases for the entire country and only 35 deaths - and the weather is great. She's worried, just like all paranoid SE Asians, about COVID. But great weather and cheap beer just isn't enough.

We were going to try to hold out until June when the school year is done. Her daughter is in grade 9. But our interview came in sooner than planned so now we have to leave no later than April 19. Sucks because our two year anniversary is April 28 so no 10 year greencards for them by less than a month. We COULD probably get new visas but $270 and $240 for two new medicals and $225 each for new visas is basically a wash for the $800 to adjust status after two years. Hey, I'm not complaining. I've been lucky to be with my wife the entire time of going through the visa journey and I know that most people aren't as fortunate to be able to do that. I can't imagine being separated and with the COVID lockdown here not being able to travel to see your spouses at all. I do wish all of you well on your adventure. It will come in time. We started July of 2019.

I'm looking forward to good food, sane drivers, clean air, quiet nights, a population density of less than a million people per square mile, being able to talk to any random person on the street or in a store and having my cars and trucks and motorcycles and boats back.

Sorry if I'm off topic.......

Question........

I sent in my K1 visa application for my fiancee 1/4/21 and I tracked it to see that it was delivered to the US Department of Homeland Security USCIS .......this was the Texas location of PO Box 660151 Dallas, Texas 75266.........and I see that it was delivered 1/8/21 but I have not heard a peep from them or received any sort of notice that they even have it.

How can I find out if they even have it????

I hate to waste months to learn that it's not actually there to begin with..........

I seen several people stating that they were told it was received by USCIS...........either text or email. I provided the correct form to be notified, I have a copy of it here now so I know its correct.

What can I do??????
