Na was pressured when going through immigration leaving Vietnam... Seems the K1 Visa is a easy grab for what they call "Coffee Money" Security Check also asked for Coffee Money. Bags checked again before reaching our departing gate in Saigon.
Once away from Vietnam all was flawless.
POE was Chicago.
Glad to be home with my Sweetheart! |

All good and simple. Once we were through immigration in the US, Na ask me when the interview was going to happen.. I told her that it had already taken place...Ha! Just a few simple questions and it was over. She didn't even realize it. |

Consulate Review: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

| Embassy Review : |
Na arrived at the Consulate at 7:30 for a 9:30 appointment. They finally called her number at 11:30. They asked her about 18 questions in 15 minutes. Na said the lady that interviewed her was nice, there was also a Vietnamese Gentleman that translated when needed.
Na said the whole experience was good. She was stressed out of course..lol. She said they were very interested in my previous marriages. They kept calling me her husband instead of Fiancee', Na constantly corrected them.
Good luck to all! Thank you for your much needed and appreciated Support.
Peace and Blessings!
XO Na & Nam |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
