She didn't want any trouble and just said that I've went back already and if there was any problem. The cong an said it was a "safety issue" and asked her to go to the police station on Monday drink coffee. She went down with her father with intention to give coffee money, but her father went batshit crazy and created a scene. When they left, the cong an told her "this case not settled".
we will be holding our wedding banquet at her home in 2 weeks time. small town so stuff life this goes around. now i'm damn scared the cong an will give me trouble because our marriage not yet properly registered.
i will be flying over on Sunday and my plan of action will be to go down directly to "pay my respects". Will an offering of a carton of cigarettes on top of the coffee money be able to appease them? or am I worrying for nothing?

I had highlighted many times that "any household need to register with local Police station if any foreigner are going to stay in the gf or fiancee house for a short period..."...this matter doesn't happen just because you are in small town or big city like hcm...many times is gf neignbour who are the whistle blower...or another cong an just happened to stay nearby...all these usually lixi can settle...
since the problem already happened...just let your gf and her family members go to the Police station to apologise and inform them of the upcoming marriage...ask the Cong An in-charge how much money needed to settle this problem...if not much money then just give and settle the issue...no point get involved with cong an who is just doing their job...
after marriage nothing will happen....all will be fine...you can stay in wife house as long as you want...
bro shysaint already advised you on the LTVP application...just follow his advice...
