Lamadoo, I left VN in 78 as a teenager without any papers. 12 years ago I went back to my home district in SG and asked my cousin to get my birth certificate for me. Within a week, he got me 10 copies. So ask your parent to go back to ... Read More

I felt sorry for his Vietnamese wife. Hopefully she knew whom she married into and hopefully the Trump’s USCIS will not allow her to immigrate to the US to spare her from confront racisism. Read More

I am retired and considering a move to Vietnam. I am a child of the 60’s. How vigorous are the police? Thanks
