Dragoon,

Was your chat's log in English? if it was in Vietnamese, did you have them translated. Mine is about thousand pages....

I believe in the letter they just want everything within one year of the interview, so I printed all my phone logs and other proof from November 2013 back to 2012. For chats I just did some samples from beginning of each month, because otherwise it would be like a book lol.

No, my wife does not know English. All our chat logs are in Vietnamese and I did not bother to translate them. It would be too much work. It's used to verify how you communication and how often with each other. Like I said, I only printed out samples from beginning of each month.

I think the chat logs is a bit excessive.

I didn't attach any chat logs or even phone call logs and it was ok.

 

[Dragoon]

No, each VO is different, so it is better to be safe then sorry. Bringing it along does not hurt anything, whereas if they were looking to see how they communicate and how often and you do not have evidence it would kill your interview. Don't bring too much as it can be excessive.

lol you will be fine. 6 months with your wife shows a lot of dedication, time and love.

I think you will get through with no red flags. Nothing that I can see anyway.


On a side note the IOM medical clinic in Hanoi now sends results electronically and takes about 7 days. My wife just did re-meds yesterday.

Thanks Drag

From my own experience:

-Wait until they ask for any documents (In my second interview letter they did ask to check the following documents: Police version 2) Medical will only be asked if you pass the interview

- In my case, they did tell that interview "is passed" on the spot and that next step is re-medical

- In my case, Once interview done, be prepared to wait 8 weeks (2 months including re-medical + passport request ) before she gets the VISA in her passport




Hope this info will help you prepare mentally

Hi my wife got her interview yesturday And she said the visa officers were really nice smiling ext. The interview took about 1h 15min and when it was done they told her to wait 4 weeks for letter? what does that mean also how long? we are so stress right now, It's not fair we been waiting almost 3 years,Thx in advance..

 

[Dragoon]

Well, looks like you did not fail the interview on the spot, so that is good news in itself. 4 weeks probably for a decision made, so you will receive a letter within that time for the next step. Hopefully, it is re-meds + passport request.

Thanks for the quick reply I guess it's time for waiting game . I don't think it's fair we had more than enough document ext and my wife said when she was leaving the other 3 people doing interview officers said they would let those people no in 4 weeks also waiting and doing interview it self was stressful it self, All me and my wife have now is our faith... Thxs again

Did they keep your police certificate?

We also have our interview yesterday and all went really well in room D. My wife went in first for 30 m, I went in after for about 15 m and my wife back in for another 10 m. They took the police certificates and toll my wife to wait for their email for the next 4 week in case they need other info and because our med is old we have to do it again...so I guess we are doing ok!

Most of their questions are about their concerns/red flag mentioned in the GCMS note, we have studied very well the note and have everything covered smoothly. One more thing, dress up business like will help...

Yes they did take my wife's police certificate, we just relized they did take it because my wife said she photo copied a extra one, however they did tell my wife they took it
If you did not ask me then we would have no known, also my friends wife said when she went to cali they took her police certificate to and did not tell her either... Hope this brings us some insight... Keep you posted

Hi all,

I have filed an appeal with the IAD Registry Office of Montreal in January 2014. If the idots from CIC believe that they could destroy my marriage by refusing to issue the permanent residence visa to my wife, they're only deluding themselves.

They believe wrongly that a long wait of 2 or 3 years to appear before the judge will discourage my wife and I and make us break. Ha! Ha! Ha! They're so wrong! They should be aware that all the trials and obstacles that they impose on us unfairly will only strengthen the love that we feel for each other. The only person who would be the most unfortunate will be our future child to be born in Vietnam. He will live the early years of his life away from his father, but the day will come when all our family will be reunited here in Canada. No! We will never let the shabby decision of an incompetent official ruin our happiness!

Last Friday, I received a package from the IAD containing some pieces of evidences. Curiously, they did not include the strongest evidences in my favor! It's obvious they do withhold information. Therefore, I myself will send the evidence to IAD.

When will be my hearing before the judge? According to your experience, how long could be the wait after receiving the package? 6 months? 12 months? 18 months? 2 years?

Thank you very much.

 

[Dragoon]

Sorry, but what happened Taycaoco? Did they refuse your wife after the interview?

Has anyone received passport request after the interview yet?
