Consulate Review: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Review Topic: General Review Event Description Review Date : March 1, 2021 Embassy Review : We arrived early and walked to the gate at 7:20 am, at 7:30 they opened the gate and we walked in and gave them our appointment papers. Then we waited to be called up to give our passports and papers. At about 8:50 am Linh and our son were called to interview. They asked me and our son to have a seat while they talked to Linh. They asked her a few questions and she answered all of them correctly in English, a couple of times the translator asked, and then she always answered in English. The IO was very kind and polite and friendly, she was always smiling. Linh saw the blue slip and we were a little worried but the last question was I didn't make enough income to sponsor them and if we had a joint sponsor, but then Linh asked if they looked at our assets or not. The IO looked and said okay you passed, we will print your visas and send them to you in a few days to your address. We were done by 9 am. Overall was a great experience and we were both very happy as all we saw were mostly blue slips handed out. I was the only US citizen present for the interview. Rating : Very Good

*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
