Will I need to attend a personal interview after my visa application status shows pending approval in Hanoi?

Hello there fellow DTVees,

I applied in Hanoi on the 15/10 at night (paid after midnight so application date is 15/10 and payment date is 16/10).

17/10 - I was requested additional documents

18/10 09:00 - submitted all requested additional documents

20/10 - status went to “pending approval”

I didn’t stay long in Hanoi, the city is overwhelming, I am traveling in the area.

And while applying to Hanoi embassy, it specifically declares the places that are in the north of Vietnam that are associated with Hanoi embassy.

I am staying in this area that is assigned to Hanoi Thai Embassy.

My concern lies if I will be summoned to a personal interview.

From what I saw from other candidates here in the group, the interview was always in the morning of the next day upon receiving the invitation, sometimes just receiving it afternoon, leaving much less than 24 hours.

I am looking for advice from people that have experienced it, to hear from them:

* Did anyone got a “request interview” after they got “pending approval”?

* Has anyone that got the request interview for less than 24 hours, reached to the embassy and successfully rescheduled to a day later?

Can someone that has experienced it share?
