May 21st, they said it would be 4 to 6 weeks. We are not in the rush, planning to fly in Sept, much cheaper, but it will depend on the situation in vn with China...we might have to fly earlier....

Ban Chinh is the stamp that says its a certified photocopy. Phong Tu Phap is the official stamp of the place that's doing the notarization/certification, I believe.

Yes, try get everything certified/notarized, the passport does not have to be translated because it should already have English words included, double check her passport to be sure.

Hello,

I would like to know is it recommend to type up the forms on PDF or handwritten? When I tired to fill up Forms IMM5490E and IMM5540E there is not enough space.. If someone can give me any tips that would be great!

Kind Regards,

Vi and Canh

You should type them, the text is more clearer and when you use the PDF forms, they automatically let you know if you're missing fields when you try to validate. If you don't have enough space, use a separate sheet of paper with your name, the name of the form, the question # and the question itself.
