Consulate Review: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : April 5, 2022
Embassy Review : Got to the consulate at 7 am, and had our interview at around 9 am. Questions asked were:

1. Where did you meet?
2. Where was your child born?
3. How many times did your husband visit you in Vietnam?

Three easy questions and our visa was approved. We front-loaded our docs at I-130 and NVC, and being present as a USC with my wife also helped. The interviewer and translator were very nice and pleasant.

Don't let the "752 days" from NOA1 to visa interview fool you. We intentionally waited 9 months to submit documents at NVC because we weren't ready yet with our life circumstances and the arrival of our baby. Then after DQ at NVC, the consulate worked through a 4 month backlog to get to our interview. Remove both of those delays, our process would have taken about a year or a bit less.

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
