K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSAWASDEE 2
Mariya and I are headed to Cambodia sometime in early November. Anyone know of any cheap plane tickets. Just thought I would ask.
So far Eva is the cheapest we can find. $980 round trip from Seattle. Nobody seems to be able to beat that price.
I like Eva only one stop and less the an hour layover in Tiepei.

Thanks for any help you can give us

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresSAWASDEE 2

Hi my name is Brandon. The question I am asking is probably on this thread somewhere, but it is a lot to go through. My fiancee is cambodian, and all cambodian cases has to be processed at the Bangkok embassy. I'm trying to find out the address to mail the Packet 3 checklist to the Bangkok embassy. Can anyone please help me, I would appreciate it, thanks. Oh one more question, does everything on the checklist has to be done before she send the checklist?

Well thank you in advance for whoever answers these questions.


Brandon
Sorry I have been on for a while.
No you do not have to have everything before you send in the checklist, just be sure to have it for the interview.
Here is the address to send checklist.

Mariya gort her ID without AOS approval. As soon as she was in the system they gave it to her.

Dan

Yes...she had done her medical, paid postal, and police certificate on May 17. Ok...I'll download the forms. My fiancee is the same, she only has conversational ability only. How soon can she send in packet 3?

Bill,
Now complete all the packet 3 forms and wait for the Embassy's original packet 3 to come by mail. Have your fiancee complete the original checklist. If I remember correctly, the completed checklist along with the DS230 part I (unsigned), 2 passport photos and a copy of passport, will be mailed back to the Embassy. The original packet 3 will instruct your fiancee of exactly what to mail along with the checklist.
Oh, you better write "ATTN: IV UNIT" on the outside of the envelope.

After the Embassy receives the completed checklist, an interview date will be scheduled. You can check your interview date on the BKK Embassy website using your original case number.




Bill

If the embassy has your case you can send the completed checklist along with the DS230 part I (unsigned), 2 passport photos and a copy of passport, in before receiving the packet 3. As soon as I knew they had our case we sent in the above documents and we saved a month. My wife is Cambodian so the packet 3 was sent to me. That took 3 weeks alone.

the visa number is her A number. It is on her I-94 and on her NOA 2.
As far as AOS as Anya said use whatever name your wife will be using after your marriage. If she took your name than I would use that.

Anya
Congrats on your interview date I am sure all will go well.

When we added Mariyas' name to my account I don't remember showing them any ID at all. we didn't even have her SSN yet. We took her passport but it was in her maiden name. Why should they give a damn as long as you agree to put that person on your account. After all it is "your" account.
I bank at US bank.

Sarakong

it is the same for cambodians.

you have the address right

only thing that has to be notorized is the I-134

cosponsor fills out a I-134 same as you. Turn them in at the interview.

They will send you a list of what they want and the order that they want it.

(Depending on if you are in a hurry or not, go to ikobo.com. The first time you send money it takes a while due to the fact they have to send her an ATM card. Once she receives that, then it is instant and there rates are the best.)

Dan
That works ok for Thailand but there are few ATM's in Cambodia and they do not do money orders or travelers checks. Most Cambodians do not trust banks or their govt so they deal mostly in cash. They do not do credit cards. They do take USD so you do not have to convert your money. If I sent a small amount I hide it in some junk mail and sent it to my wife's uncle's travel agency. We never know if it is going to get there or not, just hold our breath and wait for news of the delivery. so far only one has not made it and it was my fault for not hiding it good enough.

Here is the travel agent we used in BNK/BKK. We bought the ticket two days before our flight with no problem. Travel agents almost always have tickets even when they the airline says the fright is sold out. One way BKK to Seattle was $650 on EVA.

be sure you go at least 14 days before your I-94 runs out or you will not get a SSN.

We filed for AOS on Nov. 29, 2005. Had our Biometrics on Jan 20th and just yesterday received snail mail informing us that our application has been transferred to Laguna Niguel Ca.as of Feb. 2.
Ours seems to be moving very quickly. We are hoping to be approved without having to drive the 8 hours to San Fran. for an interview.

Sorry that yours is taking so long.

Hi, I have a little question.

Our Packet 3 was recieved by the embassy in Bangkok on Jan 25.

Since I'm sponsoring a cambodian, I'm supposed to recieve packet 4. It's been over a week already, and from all the different timelines on VJ, it seems like recieving a interview date shouldn't take this long. I'm pretty sure that all the paperwork is correct.
Do you guys think that maybe there might have been something wrong or should I just wait it out some more?
I'm actually a little worried I sent it off to the wrong adress, on VJ the adress says it is:

120/22 Wireless Road
Bangkok
Thailand

Yet, the adress from packet 3 was sent from "95 Wireless Rd." which is where I returned the packet to, did I just send it off to the wrong place? :unsure:


chynco
I think it took around two week or a little longer to get packet 4 from BNK. It is mailed snail mail and that takes at least two weeks, so I wouldn't start worrying just yet. You will have plenty of time to get everything together and get it back to Cambodia. Are you going to the interview? If you want a list of what to get together let me know I will be glad to help in any way.

When mariya first came she would only talk to me she was afraid not one would understand her english. So when we were with other people she would clam up. She had to talk to me because I was always talking to her and I would make her answer me. Let me tell you I can not shut her up now. She has so many questions, but I love it, she is really wanting to learn. Just try a sit and talk as much as possible. You will probably have to pry her feelings out of her. Asian women are hard to figure out, they will keep everything inside if you let them.
Wishing you and Ton nothing but the best
Good Luck
Sam and Mariya
