It would probably be useful to explain what made you ineligible.

Should not be a problem. My wife's paperwork all had her province as her place of birth rather than her village and there was zero issues. I would expect the same for Vietnam.

A fair price is what the market will bear. As you said, it is the doctor's private practice.

One of the arguments I am planning on using for my wife's 601a waiver is related to my father's health. My father is in his 80's and has Parkinson's. I/we spend a good amount of the weekend at my parent's house helping to take care of him. I would not be able to do this if I were to move to Thailand while we wait out her 10 year bar. My parents have asked his neurologist for a letter stating his diagnosis, but she says she cannot provide it due to HIPA regulations. (I don't believe this is accurate, but that's a different story...) Is it acceptable to just mention my father's condition without providing evidence to support it, or should I just leave it out of the letter entirely? Alternatively, my parents could ask for his medical records and include the entire file (though I would rather not do that route)
