His passport is correct.  His 160 confirmation is missing his middle name.  Much ado about nothing? I figure they issued him the receipt for payment and didn't flag it?  

Good afternoon,

My Brother-In-Law in Vietnam is in the process of applying for his B2.  He filled out the DS-160 and submitted it online.  He then went and setup an appointment mid October for his interview in Ho Chi Minh City.  My question is, his DS-160 confirmation page is missing his middle name so it doesn't match his passport.  Will this be an issue at the consulate, and if so, what is the way ahead to rectify this?

Thanks

STILL NOT APPROVED

We are June 28. We are in a batch of ten that haven't yet been touched.  

This is INSANE!!!!!

Your time will come.  I filed in Sep 2022 and it took 355 days for our NOA2.  I suspect 1 year will be the norm here in short order.

Yes. We submitted a copy of her passport.

We are well above the 125% threshold.

I may be mistaken here, but we received an RFE, same letter, because I (the sponsor) did not submit proof of citizenship.  When you say her passport, do you mean the sponsor?

You can simply respond that you never accessed the records before they were removed, end of story.

 

It is very common in even basic FOIA requests that any info about third parties is redacted. In your case it could be something as simple as the name of the doctor administering the vaccine, or the name of the officer examining the record. The people processing FOIA requests have no way of knowing if a particular record originally came from you or someone else, so they just try their best to only provide info related to the requestor, and in this case they might have missed redacting some info.

We replied to the email and stated that very thing this morning.  Can't win them all I guess.  

Thanks 

Thank you.  I appreciate it.

She should have filed a request herself. They won't give info to you about her.

Yes I know that.  Let me rephrase.  She filed from her account with my assistance.  Her english isn't the best.

Did anybody ever sponsor you for US visa or green card?

 

Essentially, what email is saying, USCIS processed your request and released info. But response contained personal info about somebody else. It cannot be given to you without permission from that person. So data got deleted, and you were told to destroy anything you might have downloaded.

 

They'll redact response and publish a new one, removing data about other people in response.

 I am the petitioner.  I filed the request on behalf of my spouse. There is no previous visa/greencard sponsorship outside of her K1 and AOS, both approved.  

Prior petitioners?  Can you elaborate?  I was not able to view any files posted to the account either before or now.  

I recently did a FOIA request regarding my (now) spouses vaccination record, as she was not given anything back at her POE in Newark.  I filed on her behalf in Mid November and we got a response the day after Christmas.  Yesterday I got an email saying there had been an update to the claim/case number.  I logged into the first.uscis account and everything had been purged.  Following this, today I received an additional email.  I am attaching a screenshot.  This strikes me as a bit odd.  Also, how do I respond?  Do I reply to the email?  I am not certain what they are even referring to as far as the ENTIRE set of records.  Has anyone seen anything like this?

Thanks in advance

Seth

Yes, we were very fortunate.

I am curious as well.  My wife is wanting to fly home to Vietnam for Tet in January.  Her VN passport and GC with marriage license will suffice, as I understand it? State ID/Social Security card as backup or no?

Congrats!  Now on to AOS and the (slightly less than 129) headaches it entails!  FYI, I received an RFE for our I-864 because I did not provide proof of my US citizenship with it.  Seems silly as our 129 was approved, etc, but nonetheless I received it.

File I Form I-129F and list 12 year old daughter as your fiance's Family. they will come together as K-1 and K-2 visa.  FYI, you can still have wedding reception like a typical wedding in Vietnam, If you like, as long as you are not leaglly married in Vietnam, you will qualify to file FormI-129F.

The engagement ceremony, "Le Dinh Hon" does not cause any issues as far as the consulate in Ho Chi Minh City is concerned, speaking specifically about Vietnam.  I would go so far as to say that NOT having it would draw more questions than having it.  It is a well known custom there, so no, you do not appear to be "too married" as it is not a wedding.  I used many photos of ours as proof of relationship, as did a friend of mine and both our (now) spouses passed the interview with no issues and are here in the US.

I am planning to request my wife to be to come to the states with a K-1. What would I use for her daughter? 

Hey man!  Seth.  I just went through the whole K1 process.  Got her conditional greencard a month ago.  Shoot me a message.

Naturally I changed it for privacy reasons.

I see.  No, I did not receive a similar email.  

No?  That says greetings earthling at the top? 

Filed May 16

RFE May 28 for proof of my citizenship

RFE Response received June 3

Approved today, August 7

No interview

May 16th AOS filer.  Received an RFE May 28th due to me not providing proof of citizenship with the I-864.  I had assumed that was already established since we were granted the K1 Visa in January.  Uploaded evidence to USCIS account and we went to Biometrics June 16th.  

Good luck to all

Seth

A little late to the game, but Congrats!

You must remember most SS personnel have no clue how it works with immigration. They follow on screen prompts and enter things. Some like the person you experience is just a horrible person, there is no teaching them. 

 

I see you already have it straighten out which is good. I was going to suggest going to a new office.

She was lucky to already have a ssn, there would have been almost no way to get it in her married name until GC or EAD. They need to match it up in the system and this hangs them up and instead of actually sending it in to verify they just deny it. 

 

Getting that very first social really needs to be done before marriage if married for the love of all, do not ever mentioned it. So many employees think that getting married nulls the visa and will refuse to continue with the application. This is why we always tell K1 visa entrants to get that ssc before anything else.

Well said and very sage advice.
