Just a quick update -- I got a call from Rachel (the Senior Vietnam Program coordinator at FTIA) today. There is a problem with one of our documents. When the Vietnam Consulate in San Francisco authorizes documents, they fan all the sheets of one document out and stamp it so that part of the stamp shows on each page. Apparently, there is not enough of the stamp showing on one of the pages of one of our documents, so the notary in Vietnam won't accept it. The office in Hanoi had to send it back to the States. (Rachel said they actually couldn't figure out what was wrong with the document at first, so Keith's wife, who is Vietnamese, called Vietnam to find out!) FTIA has sent the document to the consulate in San Francisco to have them stamp the page again. She hopes that this will satisfy the notary in Vietnam, but she's not sure. So, if it doesn't, we will have to redo the document. Right now we just sit back and wait to see what happens. The rest of our dossier will be submitted to the IAD without this one document, and then they will submit the correct one later.
All I could do was laugh. It's a good thing this is going to take 18 months because it'll take us that long to get our dossier right! :)

Yikes! Sorry to hear about that. I hope the restamped version will pass.
I can't believe all the problems you had We haven't submitted our dossier yet. Our agency has us wait until we are closer to a referral, so hopefully, we won't have these same issues to look forward to.
