if you are so worried about time and boring people, it is ironic that you would take the time to respond. Best of luck

- Wasn’t saying otherwise. But even then, it was . They put me in a jail cell. Wasn’t saying that my situation is current practice/policy, but just reminiscing on something that happened years ago, that was marginally related to this topic.

I answered USA even though it said dept of state and was issued in Phnom Penh

Back in 2008, I switched via land border (Laos/Thailand). It was a big issue with immigration. They took me away from the tourist bus and had me sit in a cell for 30 minutes. The big boss finally allowed me to switch, wrote something in my passport and I was on my way. Was kind of scared.

What is your nationality? It takes longer for some versus others

Not sure about this embassy, but generally meeting the financial requirement is always required.

Ok, if you think that, then you might end up making the same unknown mistake in Jakarta. Best of luck.

@Niya *****

if it wasn’t a clerical issue and they wanted to deny you, it would have been a rejection, not a cancelation. You had to have made a mistake or the app’s photo reader entered something incorrectly. Did you leave the middle name box empty? If not, others have said it should be and specifically Chinese applicants have been canceled for entering their second first name in the middle name box.

Just FYI, to apply via HCMC, you would need to travel to the southern half of the country. You can’t apply via HCMC if you are in Hanoi.
