hahaha...i was reading it just now and wanted to post too...fully agree with your comment...:)

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

this is the best part of the report:
A Vietnamese woman, who is taught from an early age to sacrifice for her husband and children, usually has to learn English to communicate with a foreign husband and generally adapt herself to his ways instead of trying to make him change his habits and fit in with her.

As for your comment on knowing viet WL, i can only say that guys cheong GL/JC and viet gal come to GL/JC to work. This is the 1st point of contact for sing-viet relationship. The gals being more receptive to the courtship make it more easy for guys to hook them up.

I doubt it is easy to go vietnam for a few days tour then hook up/get to know gals from normal walk of life and build on the relation. Maybe instead of going GL/JC, we can go to the private schools in Sillypore and start tackling the students :D

As for WL, there are good ones within the lot of bad eggs...

For point (1), its very very normal. This may be due to their complicated lifestyle , thus when they get pregnant, they don't even know who is the father as they had damm a lot of partners. ;) There are damm a lot of single mothers in Vietnam. As for point (2), it really seems alien to me as my wife will never allow me to fuck other gals...

Hi bros, Any advice. I doing my ROM outside whereby the solemnizer is my dad fren so i dont need a interpreter but i know 3 days before actual i need to go ROM centre with my vietnam wife to b for statutory declaration does i really need a interpreter , my wife to b can pronouce but not very sharp.

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

cmon bro if are really in love with your her, i guess you have already prepared a sum of $ to get married and etc. and not just get married with a vn gal blindly and never to your own financial homework. so paying a interpreter doesnt cost much at most $200-300 market rate, just treat it as a hong bao $ for him/her interpreter lor, the also helping you both. this type of thing cannot save wan.

because rom so call 'guai lan' if your wife can pronouce doesnt means fully understand fluntenly what it is stated on the declaration paper lor, because the declaration quite long, even i speak english also speak till sehz.

just my 2cents, get a interpreter to save those unesscessary scenarios, gd luck n congrat to u den. :)

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

bro thats depends, but from my point of view like my case; my wife is pregnant soon to due, but my income not strong, for LTVP 1st time dis-approved. just reapply LTVP again. ica will extend her short term stay for 1mth-3mth, renewable, thus u will be going to ica ofen every mth / few mths. as for PR status also at most take yrs to get it approved for my scenario. visiting ica is becoming a regular routine for me now. my advice for LTVP, 1st time dis-approved, go proceed to a mp; they will boost ur chances. never give up and just keep trying. i got frenz who is earning average 1.5k also can 1st time LTVP approved. so basically it is really based on the husband financial side, although earning 1.5k but ica want to see whether he is contributing to cpf constantly, and no lapping or job hop. they judge whether you are stable or not lor. my case different although i got 1.5k but not constantly working coz i got my own freelance biz, so my cpf lapping.

btw those rejected LTVP letter that send to you, are computer generated. so its computer rejecting you. first time they didnt access the case manually by hand. computerize rough buffer is 2.5k per mth gross

anyway there is ways to siam all this problem, but that would cost. you choose to go the "white" way then wait. you choose to go "black" way then take risk and get it sooner. :) but i would not disclose any further. cheers.

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

if you think that its computer rejecting you, then maybe you do not what is happening in the corporate world nowadays. All cases submitted to ICA are verified manually by ICA officers. If kanna rejected, then they will print out a `standard' letter to send to you. If they need to add on more info, then they will type in more points in the `standard' letter. Since you know the `black' way, why can't u using it to get LTSVP or PR for your wife ? :rolleyes:

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

U know someone in ICA, so can undertable?:confused:

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

If he knows anyone in ICA that can go undertable, then he doesn't need to make monthly trips to ICA roi. ;)

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

got under table one?? Pls share lei :p
I everytime go ICA also sibei sian...

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

I propose dun even think about it...not worth it...worst repatriation if caught...:)

Re: Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner
 

not undertable. it is because i dont want to risk myself lying to ica, i go white.

there is alot of sponsor companies out there helping if you can find, but in return u got to pay a fee to them. not cheap though. what i know is issuing appointment letter stating 2.5k, but the company also taking the risk, ica will check on the company background etc. because you are not even present working in the company, just a shield only. every month you still pay your own cpf n to the company. costly but xiong/. 2.5k cpf u contribute $500 + employer cpf u pay them too . total est $800 every mth. i see people succeeding, they cash rich to throw. i dont lor.

Vietnam latest news - Thanh Nien Daily

extracting some points from the report:
Teenage breadwinner

So it fell to a girl still in the fifth grade to take care of her sisters, cook meals for everyone, clean house and earn a little money on the side.

Her friends often find her busy with odd jobs after school, making some extra money for the family.

“If I go to school in the morning, I deliver beans or uproot grass in the fields in the afternoon,” Dung says about her busy day.

If no one calls her to do anything, she goes out to pluck pennywort or collect firewood, for which she makes VND15,000 (84 US cents) for a full afternoon’s work.
Sunshine or rain, Dung takes her younger sisters to school on her bicycle and

There’s no doubt that she is a good breadwinner.


1) bringing VND15,000 for a afternoon work is a good breadwinner?
2) I feel someday she may be pressured to work in a vice envronment. What you think?
