No guessing please :)

If awaiting approval post request for documents and one's flight date is drawing near, is it appropriate/acceptable/advisable to send a polite inquiry or not?

Hi, I notice that Hanoi Embassy is quite slow to reply via email to my question. Is it normal? Should I contact the Embassy in another way?

Thanks

Hello everybody,

I recently applied to the LA consulate in the United States for a STV visa. I filled out everything which with all the desired paperwork on December 31st. I haven't heard anything back yet.

Anybody know how long it will take to receive word back from the consulate. My flight is on the 22nd of January so I'm very nervous. And advice would be appreciated on what you would do.

Thank you to anybody who reads this.
