hello everyone. would like to know your experiences in HCMC about non B and non O. I‘m sure this topic has been discussed multiple times, but waiting here become more and more anxious  as we are not home and we do not know when we can go back home. So like to have some good faith or average timeline from your past experiences .

My husband submitted application for  non B on 28th Oct, asked and gave additional documents on 29th Oct, became pending approval since 31st Oct, still waiting.

I can only apply my non O when he has his visa approved. 

On embassy website, it says 5 working days . from what i read, it's barely ever 5 working days, what is your processing time? how did you pass by these anxious waiting time😂
