You should pretty much already have done packet 3 already for your beneficiary & sent it to them (takes around a week for mail to go from the US to Laos) & all they needa do is pretty much go do their medical & then take the checklist of packet 3 to the laos consulate and get a interview date. I told my fiance to go a week after I got an email from the consulate that my fiance can go pick up packet 3, & pretty much got her a long wait for her interview (she was scheduled 2 months later)...so if you got all your paperwork straight, you should tell your beneficiary to go asap 2 get a interview date asap...I coulda been done maybe a month or so earlier if she had went a week early & got a earlier interview date. good luck every1 who finds <3 n da ole country | 2012-12-31 |

Well known for playing their denial scheme. Will have to see what else they have in their bag of tricks, further frustration will have me asking NVC or DOS do an investigation. 10/29/2012 Fiancee brough in paystubs from 6 months and Offer letter from work. After an hour they gave her the approval. Told her to come back Thursday to pick up her Visa. However my son will need to have a Laos Passport to leave the country, so we will have to get his passport. Consulate said for us to bring in his passport asap when we get it so they can stamp the visa. One hurdle down many more to come. 11/20/2012 POE was at Minneapolis/St. Paul. It was kind of a hassle because my son was issued a B2 tourists visa on his Laos Passport because they don't accept nor acknowledge dual citizenship. They questioned that reasoning which was the US Embassy in Laos that issued it get my son approved for travel. All was resolved after my Fiance showed them his CBRA and US Passport. Took 2 hours till they cleared customs. Other than that everything else was good. | 2016-11-07 | |||
