Interview volume & pending backlog
Tracked Ho Chi Minh City interviews per month, and how many are still pending today.
No Ho Chi Minh City median yet
Only 1 tracked Ho Chi Minh City case has both an interview and an approval date — too few to publish a median for this post.
Across all 609 resolved cases we track, at every post, the median is 3 days from interview to approval. Treat that as background, not as a prediction for Ho Chi Minh City — per-post medians vary widely, which is the whole reason these pages exist.
Ho Chi Minh City and the immigrant visa pause
No callbacks of any kind have been reported at this post since the cable.
Not a pause post. Cancelled appointments without dates: a family first-preference interview rescheduled from 27 August has no follow-up as of 20 October, and a spouse-and-child case emailed on 30 August that its 28 September date was off still has no date. 24 October: a family EB-3 interview cancelled for 28 August has had no update; the 27 August first-preference case saw a CEAC touch on 19 October, no date.
