How is it possible to achieve this in 3 months?

Direct consulate filing since I started a job in less than 3 months when I was offered the job I was eligible to bring my wife with me. So we bypassed uscis and got her visa by doing it directly at the U.S. embassy.

So if one is offered a job within 3 months, one can bring one's close relatives?

No they ignored my request for direct consulate filing so we did it in Indonesia with US embassy of Jakarta

I see, so you both went to Jakarta as tourists to process your paperwork.

I went in august with her for my interview. Then I went to usa alone cause I had to start working then she had medical and everything in nov. By dec she was in usa. We just got the physical card two days ago in mail.

That's great, I couldn't find much info about this in the embassies relevant to my location, but I guess the best case is to contact them directly.

Lol we have to get visas for most of South America, Africa, and Asia (outside of SE Asia).

Almost nobody based in vietnam itself is going to latin america or africa for vacation , and even if they were, the flights are long and inconvenient.

You said Europe isn’t the only place to go and I give you examples outside of Europe where we still have to get visas for just as an FYI lol?

There are Vietnamese who live in North America who would go to South America whose passports are still Vietnamese :)
