VietnamHCMC - Evidence you should have
Been very busy with work lately. Finally catching up on things here :)
This is a very good thread. I almost threw away a couple of receipts I had from my first ever meeting with Thu in Singapore. I am putting every single receipt/document that I have from all of my trips. How about theme park admission tickets that are in Vietnamese? Should should be translated or are they good enough as it is to put with the I-129F as proof of meeting?

Yeah, I agree. Keep everything. Of course, in our case, we didn't need anything, because they never looked at anything, but you never know, right?

Of your 3000 pages of chats, did they actually look at any? Did they look at your Marc Ellis style timeline? Just curious.


I believe 98 percentages CO requested a timeline. Hey, you were a lucky one in those 2 percentages blush.gif . In my case, it took CO 6 hours to went over my timeline. I was sure that CO loved the third one. I wrote in the way that I could die for my wife, if he is separated us. And yes, they understood my pains, and here we are in the US 'Melrose Plant'. How is 'Dai Ca Dau Troc' doing? kicking.gif . Peace out hehee.

Here are two versions of the timeline.

1 is a US version you should take and get notarized.

The other is the VN version that has questions in english and vietnamese that the embassy is likely to ask.

Thank you. These documents are very useful to me.

timeline is only for K-1 right guys? not required for a CR-1


I believe timeline should be for ALL. My questions about the timeline? Is this the timeline that my wife will bring for her interview. Is she will turn into the interviewer or wait until the interviewer asked her about our timeline?

1 is a US version you should take and get notarized.

I have to notarized this in US, or VN before mail to my wife?

Thank you for your help.



In my case, I submitted timeline when I first sent off the petition to USCIS. I later, submitted another timeline when I was over there while she had an interview.

1. Yes, must notarized. Do it in US and send it to her. (remember, ask her to make a copy before turn in)

2. She can turn them in at pre-screening, if VN's staff accept it. Otherwise, hold 'til' at the interview.

Hope it helps.

this may be a redundant question...

but if im submitting a timelime with the i-129f form, i would assume that no case number has been given, right? So i would leave that out?

Fed ex is the only way I would use but IMO not worth the stress given the circumstances.. They usually dont accept it anyway and if it is requested in a ble then you have a month to get it there...


Too late. Wish I had read this before I stressed myself out. Nobody wants to hear this story. That being said, I used DHL. Now, please somebody reassure me that only the last page needs the stamp of the notary.

The timeline is only required when they issue a blue slip asking for it. And then it is requested that it be notarized.


Then I will probably go to the consulate to get it notarized.

Go West, Northwest, city name: Seattle.

Last year or the year before, a huge ring of marriage fraud was bursted by the FBI and USCIS. Look for guys with last name: NGUYEN, TRAN, LE, PHAM, HUYNH, LY etc. Over 101 couples who married for the sake of getting around $40-$50K to bring a man/woman to America. I hope you find them and choke them to death man...

It's a joke and disgrace what some people would do to get here. I know you mad, but how do they know your marriage is real when 99% of them are fakes, therefore the whole Admin Rev is taking place to filter out the bad seeds.

Can you be more specific, is there a huge age difference between you and her? Were you and her coming from the same town? Same last name? Can you say your case is straight forward, no complications? Neer married, no children, same job, stable incomes, no criminal records etc... No to all? If you say yes to any of these, it is expected to be delayed. But either way, if there is any hope in this, I've never seen any case was denied flat out. All VJ members who was on this board, telling horrible stories about HCMC, their treatments etc.... in the end, all got through and came to the US.

So... hang in then man... i know it sux and easy for me to say, but we've all been through HCMC... WE KNOW HOW YOU FEEL....


Ok, here is more information about our case. By the way I also heard about a bunch of people busted in Los Angeles recently (big surprise, based on how many Vietnamse are there,) I think the numbers were just over a hundred people. I also went so far as to report a doctor here in HCMC who was extorting money from visa applicants and yes, if I EVER know of visa fraud I will PROUDLY report it (that is if I don't kill them myself first.)

Let me first say that it would not be worth 40 or 50k to me to fake two years of non-stop REAL relationship.. We have a boatload of evidence that supports our genuinity. When I mailed the I-129F I included everything they were going to ask for, about 2" of emails, several pictures, ticket stubs from 4 trips to see her for about a month each time.. letter from my mother, taxes, divorce decrees for international use, her police report, single status... ETC! It was about 4" thick and costed me about $20 just to send it to them. I was hoping they would instantly see we were not joking around and push us through.. boy was I ever wrong.

Now for the stuff you asked. We have a 12 year age difference. I look younger...but so does she. I am from Utah and white guy, no affiliations with any Vietnamese people whatsoever, her name is not any of those names you mentioned. I have some minor criminal stuff in my past, including using a counterfeit ski pass I bought for twenty bucks.. that might be what caused it because when I confessed in court they did fingerprint me. I've been married two times. The second time was to a Mexican girl who I did file an I-130 for but a month later broke it off with her after I caught her trying to siphon money from my credit card! This could have been the big red flag but at any rate she never got her visa and never even got close to it. Neither of us has children. I own my own business and have been (proudly I might add) fired from maybe 20 jobs in maybe 5 states over the past ten years (they wanted me to actually show up - go figure!) I have moved around a LOT, maybe 15 or 20 times over the past 15 years. Last year when I filed my taxes the governement tried to tell me that I didn't exist. Probably because I had ordered a replacement social security card. My income is moderately stable but it is not up to par either. Luckily I have a great co-sponsor and evidence showing that my family will never let either of us be what you'd call poor. Even though I don't make a lot, I don't spend a lot either and I keep myself alive without help.

Now some of those are indeed negatives or red flags but on the other side.. How many people do you know who visited 5 times now and finally moved to be with her because we couldn't bear to be apart anymore. I wasn't getting anything done at home anyway because I spent all my time missing her, chatting, and writing to her so finally I decided I would be just as well of to move here. When she went to the interview she took a suitcase full of stuff. She messed up when they asked about my Feb 2004 visit and answered as if they had asked about my 2005 visit then didn't correct herself (mistake.) Then she also saw on my divorce decree I had divorced in "AK" and she thought it was for "Arizona," the state I was born in... Two doozies but still she had hundreds of pictures and mountains of emails too. She has a credit card in her name that is on my account, but they don't know that. I have written to them and told them just to come over to our house and see us together personally but of course they haven't done that either.

Well, I appreciate what you wrote. Sometimes it's good just to come on here and vent a little and share in the frustration. I get pretty bored here in old Saigon and nothing much to do so if anyone has any jobs for me that they need done here let me know. Private investigations of your sweeties? Manufacturing connections? Let me know everyone, I really need something to keep myself occupied while we wait and this wait is taking a lot longer than I had hoped.


You could try writing a K- Visa do it yourself guide book.
Keep plugging away... it will happen sooner or later...
Good luck! :yes:

Not exactly true.. The Consulate does not require the document from the beneficiary to be in English.. Thats what those translators are there for... The only documents required in english are outlined in the VJ Guides... Nowhere has it been posted that a blue slip requiested 10 year residence of B "in English"...


On the bottom of the blue slip it say. It is actually printed in all caps.

NOTE: ALL SWORN, NOTARIZED STATEMENTS MUST BE IN ENGLISH

can my wife (beneficiary) write her 10 yr residency in vietnamese?can someone help me with the format? where can she get it notarize in HCMC? thanks in advance


Your wife can write it in Vietnamese but it needs to be translate into English as they only accept English version. The format is simple. They want the address, phone numbers(cell, work, home), family members full name and birthdate. If each family member have cell phone number include it as well. If you want to be thorough, make sure all family members are in the Ho Khau(Household registry).

Yes, we did a 10-year timeline and a 10-year residency for me. We did not do a 10-year residency for her b/c that's already required in the docs required by HCMC.


Are you saying that you submitted the 10 year residency for her with the I-129F filing? What I was suggesting is to have the 4 documents all together at the interview. This would then be considered complete together. If not, they may most likely give the blue slip requesting these 4 documents.
khoamythovnNot TellingVietnam2011-02-16 21:21:00
VietnamHCMC - Evidence you should have
You may also want to include the 10 year residency of petitioner and beneficiary. If you have all 4 of these they may accept it. Otherwise, it will be exactly the information they will request in the blue slip.

Petitioner: Timeline and 10 year residency
Beneficiary: 10 year residency and Relatives in USA.

Make sure to notarize all of the 4 documents.

After reading your stories on the old forum, I wonder if your case was placed on AR because you gave "too much" evidence. Crazy as it sounds, the consulate might consider too much evidence as signs that you had "outside" help in preparing the petition.
[/quote]

So submitting too much evidence is problematic? Now I'm worried. I submitted about 8 photos, about 8 letters from each of us, screen captures of chat sessions, telephone bills, copies of emails. I'd say I had 50 pages of stuff all together.

Now I'm worried.

Does anyone have any further insight about "too much" evidence?

Thanks,

Question about Vietnamese format names ...

My fiance's name in Vietnamese format is family name first, given name last as in: LE THI TU QUYEN. However, on forms like G-325A and I-129F and other areas I use "American" style formatting as QUYEN TU THI LE (reversed the VN format). So for first name, that's easy (QUYEN) and last name (LE) but middle name is confusing ... do I list as "TU THI"? I'm very afraid of delays if the format of the name is wrong.

Thanks.

Someone asked how we know our case is in Administrative Review..

Answer: They never told us that. They never answer any of my questions, they just give a semi-relevent form letter response to anything I ask them. After I got my congressman involved they told him that and the Congressman also told me he speculated it is becuse they have doubts about our relationship as a possibly fraudulent relationship solly for the sake f getting her to the U.S.... Honestly, it's absurd. Nobody in their right mind would spend as much time faking a relationship for that reason as we have spent together online and in person. With all the time and effort I have spet and she has spent on our relationship I could be running a fortune 500 company by now! Note to anyone contemplating a sham maririage for money: there are a hell of a lot easier ways to make money than that and you piss me off because you put people like us who are sincere through all this ####### and make us miserable. Scammers are probably the only people I would like to choke the life out of more than the consulate at this point! Gawd!

I heard back from Congressman Rob Bishop's office who was looking into our case. For anyone who doesn't remember, Nha had her interview in May and after submitting additional information requested we received a notice telling us "we need not submit further information" and that "our case requires additional processing within" their office....Here is what the congressman had to say after inquiring with them two times now:

The embassy responded that the file is still under administrative review. Since this is essentially a fraud investigation (they are questioning the relationship), they will not allow any elected official to inquire or render support in any way (ethical grounds, swaying support in an objective inquiry etc.). So, regretfully, it looks like a letter of support is not viable at this point in the process. They will not give me any time frame for a result of this investigation only to say first-come, first serve. Since Vietnam has a higher than average rate of marriage fraud, I can only assume that there are a lot of cases under administrative review and that is the main reason for the delay. However, they assured me that it would be reviewed as soon as possible and given fair consideration consistent with US law and regulations. That probably does little to sooth your soul, but don't think I didn't try. Let me know if you have any questions.


Does anyone know how long to expect this "Administrative Review" to take? It's already been in Administrative Review for 6 months now!

VietnamHCMC - Evidence you should have
A question about the VN version of the timeline. This has been an area of small concern for lien and me. It asked about the proposal. About 2 months after my first trip to see lien, we agreed to get married. There was really not a specific date, there was not an engagement party (this seems to be important in HCM). There really is not even an Email or chat that supports a proposal, we did it over the phone. Even before my first trip we had already discussed marriage. (the reason why i went) After i returned it was more like, "okay now that we meet you still want to get married??? YES I do, YES, I do also." So that was that and I started working on Marriage Application. Will this HURT us on the timeline or the interview. We talked about just picking an "OFFICIAL DAY" that we decided over the phone. Is that better???? I have always said, "JUST tell the TRUTH in the interview", because it is REAL there should not be a problem.

VietnamHCMC - Evidence you should have
Yes, we did a 10-year timeline and a 10-year residency for me. We did not do a 10-year residency for her b/c that's already required in the docs required by HCMC.

VietnamHCMC - Evidence you should have
Hello. We too have a lot of evidence (7,000 pages of chats/emails over 3 1/2 years). 12 trips (1 to Europe), lot's of photos, engagement party (held long after we filed for the K-1). I agree with overkill, even if no one looks at the evidence. Our timeline is "by trip" and is about 5 pages. Like many others, our first 8 trips are not as well documented b/c we knew nothing of K-1 requirements or HCMC requirements (we cobbled together visa entry/exit stamps, flight itineraries, and some visa bills). Our relationship is quite well-documented. My fiance' speaks fluent English, has NO relatives in the US, is 37 years old with a son, and owns a house and is upper middle class (lives in Hanoi). I hope those factors helps......
