the question havent answered, someone please help me

im in the process of bringing my fiance over here. I've filed the I-129 form 5 months ago, so her interview might come soon. She just gave birth to our baby, and i need to fill out the CRBA form and get DNA test result. Then send her all those paper work, so she could bring them to the US embassy in Vietnam. I went on their website and they said they only accept appointment for the CRBA. My question is, can she bring all those paper work to her K1 interview if it comes before the CRBA appointment?t? Or she has to go to her CRBA appointment seperately even if it comes after her k1 interview?



Have you even tried to contact the Consulate, as was previously suggested? They are the ones with the answer. I'd like to know what they say.


Hi.
Your fiance should go to US embassy and take appointment with them, they have all forms , or she can call and ask them appointment day. that so easy. If she go interview before that, i think they will give her blue slip for waiting your baby 's us passport and birth certific done. Make appointment with them soon when your fiance got pregnant about 7-8 months same as me beofore. Make appoinment take about 2-3 months.dont worry, your case will pass and get pink slip soon. good luck.

Asia: East and PacificQuestions reguaring my child's birth certificate
I thought you can put your name on baby's Vietnam BC. That is no problem because your fiance can give for baby a name although you and fiance still not get married yet. And your baby can get Justin name on it too.
If you show exactly proofs for embassy that show you have been stay with fiance before, during and after your fiance was pregnant, may be they will not need DNA test. Your fiance should keep all pictures, untrasound papers about her pregnant, bill when she was at hospital... !
Good luck to you !

Just fill out a form at Phong Xuat Nhap Canh and paid 200,000 vnd (or 400,000 i forgot), after 3-5weeks your son will get passport, that so easy.

VN10FemaleVietnam2009-07-23 02:29:00
Asia: East and Pacificcan my son enter the US?
@Anhmap : yes, vietnam passport can fill out name of son/daughter under 6 years old in passport of mother or father at Phong Xuat Nhap Canh in Vietnam. I have been done Vietnam passport for my son although he got US passport.


@Calilove : Im sure if yr son dont have Vietnam passport so he can not leave Vietnam, it is hard . Trust me. You say your wife go to Phong Xuat Nhap Canh where she got her passport and ask how to do new passort for your son. That is easier than fill out your son's name on your financee's passport.
VN10FemaleVietnam2009-07-22 21:49:00

Your son must have Vietnam passort for leave vietnam. if your fiance passport already have your son's name and photo, so your son dont need.

What do you guys mean when you say "approved"? Have you already gone through an interview and just waiting results? Did you get blue slips upon completion of the interview?? Please clarify...how do you know your case was "touched"

My husband and I are in Administrative Processing and awaiting the ket qua but we don't know how else to get the results except for to contact them direcctly.


Sorry when heard about that.
My case approved it is NOA2 from uscis. i still have not interview yet. I got account in uscis website , after i logged in , it would show me last updated of my case, if it changed that mean "Touched".
I saw many topic told about their interview and someone have waiting same as you, you should find and read it, i think you will have any way. Good luck to you.

Part II is not in the list of docs and is not required. I did not even fill it out since it was not a requested item. We had no issues at the consulate. They are looking for EXACTLY what is on the list in the order they specify.

Will there be any problems if the items are attached with ACCO fasteners in the specific order from Pkt 4 when they are submitted at the window? Will they require that they be seperated and submitted individually?
Has anyone submitted the documents attached together?


Scott, it should not be an issue if you attached them as long as it is in order and fit the slot at the window. Break it into smaller packages if you feel it it too thick, but keep them in order when submit.


Before 1 week of interview date if she will not get p4 , she can come window information and ask, they will give her p4. good luck .

I asked the Consulate what their policy on using co-sponsors is. This is their response:


QUOTE
Technically, there are no provisions under the law for a "joint sponsor" for the I-134, but there is no prohibition either, which is why our policy is to accept joint sponsors under certain circumstances. Since the joint sponsor who submits an I-134 has no legal obligation to fulfill the terms of the affidavit, the officer CAN take into consideration the credibility of that affidavit of support. So, a petitioner for the K-1/K-3 case can find a joint-sponsor if his/her income is insufficient, and our consular officer will make a determination on his/her particular case.




This subject hit me bloody hard. I had only made 9 grand the year prior to my wife's interview, I had my parent's co-sponsor. The reason I made so little was that I had moved to Viet Nam with her, I didn't work most the year. I have a lot of friends in Saigon; One, American friend, who taught English was dating one of the CO's. I told him of my problem when a service in HCM told me that I had no chance with a co-sponsor. He set up a double date with the CO, him and my wife and I. We had dinner somewhere. Anyways, she told me, very directly, that she had stacks, stacks of denied applications on her desk which had co-sponsors. She told me, only under very, very odd considerations would they accept one and that my fiancee and I were not one of those cases. Also, my cousin's old law partner Steve Brault just happened to be the Chief CO in HCM at the time. I emailed him asking him about my situation, he told me the same thing. I found a way around it, and my wife passed just fine. Let me know if you need advise. Message me. Good Luck!


Thanks very much about your share. Im now very very feel better, i trust CO can not send back my case again just with reason my husband not enough income. Good luck to both you.

I got out of AP at NVC on the 23rd... HCMC got the electronic version of the file on 10/24... The DHL system shows a package left on the 23rd and was signed for on the 26th.. as of today Nov 1, I was told by the consulate that they do not have the physical folder and are refusing to accept the completed DS230 and DS 2001...

"Thank you for your inquiry. Please be informed that we received the electronic file for the beneficiary on October 24. It usually takes one to two weeks for us to receive the physical file. However, it takes approximately 8 weeks for us to process the case and update the information in our system due to the large volume of visa petitions we receive monthly. We will send an Instruction Package (packet 3) to the beneficiary at the earliest opportunity.



At this stage of the process, we are unable to take any actions for this case (such as update DS-230 part 1). We only take actions for the beneficiary’s case after we officially receive the physical file."

OK given what we all know here based on how long it takes fellow filers to get from one step to the other.. I understand where the 8 weeks comes from.. 8 weeks from the time they get the pt 3 response until interview date.. and the 1-2 weeks is how long it can take to get pkt 3...

Amazing.. as soon as I knew they had the file I sent the forms and now I am at the point that I know they have the file, they deny it and refuse to accept the forms.. I know how long it takes for the pkt 3 to get delivered.. Jim knows first hand... I can only wonder what I should do to get the forms submitted.. wait weeks for the pkt 3 or resend later this week?

What is required to get the physical done? We will be scheduling a physical for the time I am there.. hopefully on Monday 11/30... or Tuesday 12/1... what if she does not have pkt 3 by then? Do we have to take pkt 3 with us to the medical?


I think Thuy will get Packet 3 soon, so dont worry. It take from 2-4 weeks since your case sent to Consulate at Vietnam from NVC. About 3-4 weeks again after you sent packet 3 sent back to Consulate, you will get Packet 4 about interview day. Good luck !
