Asia: East and Pacific	NVC sent out	I see you picked up your packet 3 at US Embassy on 30/11/2006. I am wondering what are the documents included in this packet. I was told that the US Embassy will mail this out - you cannot pick it up. I am just wondering how you were able to go there in person and get your packet 3.

After this completed and verified the NVC will forward the packet to US Embassy in Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam. US Embassy will take between 2 and 4 months from date of receipt to assign the beneficiary an interview date. it is recommended to make a follow up after it has been at least 2 months since the US Embassy received the case file packet. They may give the beneficiary the packet at the window if the case file has been assigned an interview date. The US Embassy staff is usually very courteous and helpfull. They will usually tell how much longer to wait to return again - if it happens they have not yet assigned the beneficiary an interview date. Once an interview date is assigned the benifiary receives a packet - this includes the DS 230 Part 1 Appliaction for Alien Registration and DS 230 Part 2 Sworn Statement. There will be instructions for your medical vaccination assessment and medical examination Instructions for your visa photos and locations where to have them taken. There is usually about a 2 or 3 week period to have this completed - then you should have everything ready for your interview. Interview day - Be sure to arrive early!!! If you a Pink slip it means you passed the interview If the beneficiary is granted a visa by the consular officer - usually the visa is ready the next business day after 4 P.M. A kind word of advise - once you know your case is Ho Chi Minh City - make the beneficiary has her police backround completed - this could take 6 to weeks to get from police department.
