I think you have just fallen foul of whatever is going on with Hanoi at the moment. Good luck next time and sure it will be fine elsewhere.

The previous cases were not with Embassies. This was internal in Thailand. Just last years 1000s of Ed visa cancelled in Chiang Mai. One reason for big rush for DTV in Laos.

I think the agents that check your documents for completeness and know what to look for are probably OK. The ones that claim to have an "In" etc with embassies, I would be wary. We have seen what happens in the past when certain agents or establishments fall out of favour - mass cancellation of visas. This happened with "Vol" and Ed visas.

On paper you had a strong application and would have been approved in most places. Maybe Hanoi are clamping down on applications through agencies?
