Asia: East and PacificThink long and hard about everything you do

I've been here for well over a year now and as many of you know my wife and I had a complicated case and some troubles when she finally arrived here in the USA late last Summer. Let me say something that is important for you couples who have not yet had your interviews...

You can easily get approved if you give the suits what they want. What they want to see is a REAL relationship with real development. Meeting online, followed by one trip to Vietnam and then a proposal is surefire way to get denied. This place is littered with the guts of couples who received the slip of death for this reason. Anh and I met online, we met in Paris, in Germany and then in Saigon. Those meetings pretty much secured her YES at the interview. The interviewer was impressed with this. Many here who get the good slip have met two or three times in person. It is no guarantee, but it helps.



Why would you say this? What does the embassy's website say? Do you know of couples that have had this happened and did the CO say he was denying them the Visa because of lack of multiple visits???

As far a meeting each other in person - all that is currently required is that the two of you have met in person within the last 2 years. I'm troubled with your statement because you state so with certainty.

I would hope that the CO looks at each case individually - there is no silver bullet to get the CO's approval beyond following the requirements and demonstrating an ongoing relationship. Please be careful with your advice here.

my lawyer said that i only going to vietnam was a problem with my oneof them anyway but i agree it does only say met in past 2 years .surley they know not all of us are rich or live with our parents or work in vietnam some of us have one week vacation and im sure alot viet girls cant afford to go to paris you just got lucky matt dont rub it in

GREEN/TRAN,

Note to self: Change last name to PINK!!! Just kidding man!!! try to cheer you up! My initial reaction from reading the 1st post until this very last one here keep improving, and I like it! Don't worry and second guess your case, seems to be solid and at this point, with the help of M.E., you can sleep well tonight. Divorce is the key, she did, the timing isn't the most convincing evidence, but it's not like people know how to divorce each other from day one when they go to gradeschool... Could have told them, there were some complication with her EX and the divorce couldn't finalize at a later time. But the key here is: you meet all requirement and more, however, a ticket to VN at this time of the year could do some good for you and her... It's TET season baby! All this time, we all thought working and providing for our family is our duty... seem like that isn't good enough for the consulate... :blush: :crying: :crying:

Our hearts go out to you Green/Tran, stay focus and get through this...

love,

chuck and kim

thank chuck and kim,im just done getting a statment noterized of what we have in common to satisfy the greenslip and hanh is getting certified from all the houses she lived at in hcmc her ex lives in lam dong about 6 hours away so i hope it gets cleared up fast.

I remember having to sign that form, the one for the marriage broker, didnt it ask if you ever have been convicted of a violent crime? For the safety of the fiancee/wife? I cant remember too well that far back, but maybe that had something to do with it. That really sucks, man! I feel really bad for you. Ide fight it for sure, get a good lawyer. Good luck.

and i did sign the form and submitted a kbi backgroud check certifed my fianccee knew all about it long before we ever knew anything about imbra when the man asked if i ever haad crimminal she told him about it.i think most our problem is her waiting to get divorced before i came

i was never convicted just 200 fine dismissed nad fight i had with my pops wasnt really a fight and charges was dropped but she saw a lawyer today and he said there was 3 problems . problem no. 1 was the charges i had agaist me eve though they was over 14 years ago problem number 2 was she waited so long to get divorced and problem number 3 was i only came one time to see her for one month.but he said we had alot of eveidence more than enough and she will get to come to usa no way they can deny it he will have to get some details from the head chief there so its kinda good news but it might cost me the price of a tickit to go to vietnam

GreenTran,

I am so sorry to hear this. I was hoping to see a pink slip for you. I agree that they may be concerned of only visiting one time. All you can do is bring them evidence to prove your relationship. If you need a good lawyer at a reasonable price PM me.

Good Luck!!!

yeah but it would have been nice if they looked at some evidence.its only required we meet one time in 2 years .this guy seemed to try say i came with some one and left with some one .and asked how much of that time i spent with her and when was the last time she was good to her exhusband.30 minutes of questions.i could have went to vietnam more but i thought having a steady job and taking care of her and my responabilitys would matter more .shes going to see marc e tomorow. maybe they should require people to go to a polygraph examiner if they want to be so sceptic

Asia: East and Pacificwhats the diffrence between a green slip and a blue slip

Here is our experience:

At the end of my wifes interview she was given a blue paper asking for specific information. They wanted info in regards to my divorce. The paper stated to bring the required documents along with the blue paper back to the consulate. She did so and after waiting for their review of it, they returned and gave her a green paper. This paper pretty much stated that no further evidence is needed, and that they will contact us after their review, and to not contact them. I have heard that this could take from aa month or so up to a year. I was also told when they give you the green paper that they may return your case to the US, for review.

Good Luck!!!

my green slip states we lack to show evidence that a reasonable person woulds see us as a bonified relationship .if a reasonable would have looked at the evidence they would have but now it says i need to wite a noterized statment of what do me and hanh have in common and send with other supporting evidence ,i just wondered why green instead of blue crazy i guess,thanks
