TLDR : Answer Summary

The timeline for receiving a response from the Ho Chi Minh embassy regarding additional document requests or interviews can vary. Typically, applicants may expect to hear back within a week, especially if the application has recently been submitted. In this case, the original poster submitted their application on September 18, and others in the community have reported similar experiences, indicating a response might arrive soon.

This is is the 2nd business day so you would likely hear this week if further docs are needed.
