Rejection reason?

Same here. I also start processing on 22nd Dec and rejected in Hanoi. As I heard most applying from Hanoi got rejected for no reason. (I used an agent)

Anonymous participant 711 when you say you used an agent did you actually complete the application yourself or not? And were you in a location served by the consulate you used and remain in that location

Of course, yes. Still in Hanoi.John **********
Anonymous participant 711 I wonder if you used a boilerplate application from the agent. I think I'm starting to see a picture of applications aided by agents being rejected

Same, pending approval then rejected for one of my applicants soft power in Hanoi. Other two both approved
Everything done right and they had money, house & gym paid for. I’ve seen a few Hanoi rejections maybe they’ve cracked down

Anonymous participant 852 Seen a few rejections in Hanoi of people going through agents. Maybe Hanoi is cracking down on agents applications rather than individuals?
