Ho Chi Minh City: F3 visas issued

Immigrant visa: Married son or daughter of U.S. citizen, and their spouse and children

Interview scheduling at Ho Chi Minh City

NVC is scheduling most F3 interviews for cases that became documentarily complete in:

Family preference: F1, F2A, F2B, F3 and F4

January 2025

same as on Sep 23

Compare with the month NVC emailed you that your case was documentarily complete.

What this month means

It is not a wait time: it is the month NVC is scheduling most interviews for now, and it can move backwards. “Current” means NVC is already scheduling cases from the update’s month; it can also mean the post schedules none, so check the embassy’s own website (usembassy.gov). Documentarily complete: NVC has accepted all your documents.

Family preference and employment cases also need a current priority date in the Visa Bulletin.
