Thanks for the reply Always Flyin. In the scenario above, the $6 (or $20, whichever agency you use) pre-approval letter should serve as "evidence" to show the JFK CX employees that they have obtained the necessary documents to enter Vietnam (this would be the same case as departing from TPE in the first segment). Since the $25 stamping fee fee won't be collected till Vietnam, i was wondering if the 2nd $6 pre-approval letter is enough to show Visa documents have been obtained and not get blocked by JFK CX desk.

We have around ~12 roundtrip tickets within my family, so I figure it'd save ~$200+ if done properly.
