US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Case in Administrative Processing at Bangkok - Opinions?	Thanks for your reply Karee!   I have written to the embassy twice, as well as my fiance has written twice. I wrote and asked them simply to confirm that they have received everything. We first used the address visasbkk@state.gov and then visasiv@state.gov. We received an autoresponse from the first address and nothing from the second. The second address was the one given when you call or look on their website. We put the subject line like you suggested. We wrote first about a week ago and once early this week. But, so far we have no responses. I will try the address you suggested if nothing changes by early next week.   I hope everything is ok. The interview went well and the CO said he only needed the birth certificate. How long did it take for you to receive your visa after they received your additional documents? This coming Monday will be three weeks since the first working day there after everything was received.	Whitesky	Male	Thailand	2013-08-23 21:00:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Case in Administrative Processing at Bangkok - Opinions?	My fiance had her K1 Visa interview on 22 July in Bangkok. We have worked very hard on this and had absolutely everything in order for the interview. The interview went very smoothly. We were formally engaged in Thailand on my fiance's parents farm. I spent 2 1/2 months there last year. So, we had copious photos, documantation of visits together, hotels, plane reservations, literally a book of phone and Skype records where we iterally spend hours connected with each other every day. There was only one sticky question, which raised eyebrows when answered, but which was quickly satisfied. The CO had misread something and expected a different answer. But, my finace's answer bore itself out as correct in the documentation. So, everything was fine.   The CO told my finace that she had passed the interview. But, he said one of her documents was not in order. Apparently, her birth certificate was not an official one or it didn't properly show the birth city. Apparently, she got a duplicate copy from the records department in Bangkok. Her father had lost her original years ago. The CO gave her a 221(g) and told her to get a certified copy of her borth certificate, to be sent via registered mail to the embassy with her passport and a copy of the 221(g) and he would promptly issue her visa.   Her father had to travel from the south of Thailand to Roi-Et twice to get the certified document. This was done on 2 August and mailed. Thai Post shows delivery of the package to the embassy on 3 August. We expected a wait of a week or two while things were processing. But, we are now finishing out our third week and still no visa or correspondence. We have visited the CEAC site and looked at the status several times and it just shows "Administrative Processing." Last night, eastern time here in US, it was showing a "Status Updated Date" of 19 August. But, this morning it shows 23 August. The heading still shows "Adminstrative Processing."   My question to the community, this seems like it should be pretty cut and dried. How long can we expect to wait for this to conclude? Is there any significance to the updated status date? I hope and pray that the "Administrative Processing" header doesn't mean some new problem. I have read in other posts that this is a normal heading any time a 221(g) is issued. What will happen with this status if it is approved? Does it change to approved? Any opinions, experiences, etc. would be greatly appreciated!	Whitesky	Male	Thailand	2013-08-23 16:29:00
