Asia: East and PacificTelephone Bills
Hi Everyone,

I posted this same post in the K-1 BB, but thought I would post here too. :)

When we send in our telephone bills to show proof of a relationship, is it ok to black out phone calls that are not to our fiancee'? I make a lot of telephone calls and I really don't want more people than necessary to know who I call, even goverment workers.

Has anyone done this when they send in their phone bills? Is it ok to do?

Thanks everyone,

Randy :unsure:

Asia: East and PacificHow long time for Vaccinations in BKK?

BUMP!!!

Okay, there are a lot of people coming from Thailand here so someone has to know the answer. Packet 3 comes with a form for vaccinations that has a to of shots on it. Does anybody know if this is all done on the same medical visit or if we should start with the vaccinations sooner? A guy from Chonburi here a while ago said he took his girl a couple months prior and had to come back for follow-up shots. Anybody know if this is true?

Please help


Now you have me wandering. :unsure: I will contact my attorney in BKK and ask him. PM me if you are still interested. I will get back to you.

Asia: East and PacificPhone Cards
Hello Everyone,

I have been calling my fiancee' in Thailand for about 7 months now. Is started off by using my long-distance carrier and then switched to and used various internet phone cards. I have to say that I have finally found one that is fantastic! I have had no disconnects and the calls are crystal clear. My rates to Thailand are 4.4 cents a minute with no other charges. I don't know what other rates for other countries are, but this is one of the best I have found and I have looked at a lot. There are some out there that I have used, that were a little cheaper, but I had many disconnects and un-clear calls.

Here is the website: http://www.idphonecard.com/ I have absolutely no affilitation with this company. I just found it on a long internet search. It is such a professional and great calling card company with good rates, that I thought I would let everyone know about it.

Regards,

Asia: East and PacificAbout My Income- Need your advices !!!

In 2004 I made about 25000 , in 2005, I made about 26000$ . In 2006 (last year) I made only 5500$ due to 4 trips to vietnam. I left the company as absence (didnt get paid while I was away, and I can come back after a period of time like 6 or 9 months something like that) . so my situation now is full time employed by IBM Corp, I also have a letter from my manager stated that I've been working for the company since 2004 and my rate is 18$/hour . so when my fiancee goes to the intview, can she bring my income tax of 2004, 2005 and the 2007 pay stubs plus my bank statement ? Do I need a co-sponsor for this case ?

Thank you in advance .


Just my opinion----I think you will be ok. There was only one year, (2006), that you were below guidelines. Now you have your letter from IBM stating that you are a full time employee. Even though you were below guidelines in 2006, NOW you are showing you are fully capable of supporting your future spouse. In the whole scheme of things they want to make sure that you can support your spouse in the future. I don't know, maybe a letter for the interview explaining income in 2006?

Of-course a co-sponser would take care of everything. But maybe that want be necessary.

I probably got you more confused. :unsure:

All of this is just my opinion, of-course.

Good luck my friend.

Asia: East and PacificBangkok Interviews
Hi Guys and Gals,

Anyone know how often the BKK Embassy updates the interview schedule on their website? The last time it was updated was June 26th. We have finished "everything" and just waiting for interview date. We are getting soooo close now. :) Can anyone tell me how long after you get notified how long of a wait it is for your interview date? I have heard around 3 to 4 weeks.

Just a tidbit of information. When I was in Bangkok this week, I met with my attorney and he said that during the summer there are not as many applicants for the embassy to interview. So he said the interview process moves quicker. Good news! Also he said they have a new person starting this week doing the interviews. He was slightly concerned because he was used to the last person who did the interviews and he doesn't know a lot about this new person. He had a real good working relationship with the last interviewer, but now he will have to establish one with the new person. But all and all he said nothing will really change.

Take care everyone. Love to hear from some Thailand couples who are in about the same place we are with the the process.

Thanks,

Asia: East and PacificHow best to prepare for the interview?

Although it is still some time away, I would like to start preparing my fiancee for the interview in BKK. Has anyone done any mock interviews? I'm just trying to come up with some ideas to help her with this. I want to be there with her, but I'm not yet sure if I will be able to take time off from work.



I will let you know in about a month. My fiancee has her interview on August 6th in BKK. :dance: There are post-interview reports on this website under the tab, "Embassy/USCIS interviews". There is a lot of good info in there. I really don't think there is much preparing to do. They will just ask her questions to make sure your and her relationship is bonifide. Don't worry about it too much. Just keep a lot of evidence of your relationship, (emails, telephone logs, chat sessions, VISITS, photos,etc,), as they will need these at the interview. Good luck man.

Asia: East and PacificDivorce Decrees
What a wealth of information from everyone! Thanks! I live in Tennessee and my two divorces was in Los Angeles and Oakland, Ca. I was on the telephone all day trying to get certified copies mailed to me by next week. It just is not going to happen. Both counties said it would take 3 to 4 weeks to get certified copies sent to me. Her interview is in two weeks! I have the originals, however they are so old that they look like copies. I never did see the packet three as my attorney took care of all the paperwork for us.

So I will be flying to LAX Sunday night and then drive to Oakland all day Monday. I will pick up the one in Oakland on Tuesday and fly back to Tennessee on Tuesday afternoon.

These "originals" will cost me around $1000.00 after airfares, hotels, and car rental. :wacko: Oh well, NOTHING is worth taking the chance of having something like not having the proper paperwork at the interview. I don't want to be delayed in anyway.

So it is all worth it, to have my fiancee' here on time with no stress for either one of us.

Thanks again everyone. Appreciate all the answers. By the way I know VJ guidelines are just that...guidelines. That is why I asked if there was any goverment website that would tell me exactly what was needed for the interview. But it is all a "moot" point now, as I will go get the docs in person.

Yeah, you know I have "heard" this on VisaJourney...but we are a very small percentage of the people being interviewed at the BKK embassy. Just guessing...I would say they interview around 30 to 50 a day, but I don't really know. It would be nice to get the statistics. My fiancee' is a member of Thailand's version of VisaJourney, (http://www.usvisa4thai.com/) and most of the girls on that website write about their interviews. She has told me that most people going thru the interview process on that website have had good experiences. On that website it seems a lot more people report how their interview went.

I think that people tend to report more of the bad things that happen than the good. It is just human nature. However, there might be a little truth about the interviewer. I am just trying not to worry and stay confident for Sao's interview next Monday. I feel my application is very much in order with no "red flags", but all we can do is our best and hope for a good outcome. :thumbs:

My SO got a one way ticket to Memphis with Northwest Airlines for $1000.00, Via Japan and LAX. She has a 3 hour layover at LAX, so that should be enough time to process through.

The other subject that is being discussed here concerning the new interviewer; there are some good reviews about her on VJ in the Embassy review section. I think if you have everything in order, you will be fine. After all if you have everything you are supposed too, then there is no reason for them to ask for additional evidence. My attorney has been dealing with her on an almost a daily basis and has had no problems with her.

where do i start. went to the interview on july 20th. got blue slipped. they asked my wife typical questions. what's your husband's name, bday, when was the fist time your husband came to vn. when was the 2nd time... anyone from your husband's side attended the wedding? who? and that was it. looked at the pics, phone records, and letters briefly. saw the tax paperwork and then, bam. blue slipped. they said your husband doesn't make enough to support you. for 2006, we submitted a w2 and two 1099. i think they just saw the two 1099's and figured i didn't make enough. so, took a look at the blue slip, just said something like it's not a bona fide relationship. sooo, thinking i just just need to resubmit my 06 tax papers, we sould be good to go. wrong. went back to the consulate and rejected. this was friday afternoon. so we had the weekend to figure things out. i felt since they didn't ask for any specific evidence i would submit the whole package again. come monday, that's what we did. picture, phone bills, letters, money transfers, etc. my wife went inside while i waited. we got there at noonish, five hours later, around closing time my wife out. said they lost our package. dam. can you believe that. they said to go home and they will call us when they find it. dam. what else to do but to go home. this was the 23rd of july. next day my wife calls the consulate to ask what's up, they say they haven't found it yet and not to call back for three or four months. dam. so i called, spoke in english, they said they'll call me when they find it. next day, i call again, they said they will email me when they find it. next day, just before i was about to call them again, they said they found it and we were approved. they will mail us an invitation to pick up the pink slip. so today we got the pick slip. funny thing was the pink slip was signed and dated on the 23rd. and we were supposed to have picked up the visa and the 26th. but i ain't complaining. thanks everyone for your support. i'll fill you in with more details later.



After reading your post, it makes me so angry. These people in the embassy are a**holes! Come back in 3 or 4 months? Are they crazy? They don't seem to give a rat's ars about what their applicants have been going through for the last year! They are dealing with people's lives here! They are so cold it makes me sick.

From Vietnam to sunny California to FARGO, North Dakota. Thats the journey my wife has taken. I had a good job opportunity with my employer to transfer to our Fargo division. My wife and I drove across this great land seeing all the wonderful things. Once we arrived in Fargo two things suprised me the most, #1. My wifes love for the winter and extreme cold and #2 the rather large Vietnamese community here in Fargo. She has the choice of two good sized Asian markets to shop for our favorite veggies and fish, don't forget the noodles.
So, here are some facts about North Dakota, I call it the Frontier. The population of the entire state is approx. 700,000. there are only 3 cities with a population of over 20,000. I have yet to see a traffic jam. This is a good place for my wife to learn to drive snow or ice.

No, it didn't. I did write in my letter of intent that we had an engagement party in June when I came. I guess that is where it came from. The question that got me was: "Did he kneel when he ask you to marry you?" #######!!! I really don't know why he asked where our engagement party was; I just think he was too new.

Asia: East and PacificInterview Highlights
She arrived at 7:45am and got called to the window at 10:00am. The interviewer was not the the Japanese woman that people have been talkinging about here on VJ. It was a new guy. He was Japanese also.

These were the questions:

1) How did you meet?
2) Where does your fiancee' work?
3) Where was the engagement party? Was it at a hotel?
4) Did your fiancee' kneel when he ask you to marry you? (I put this in my letter of intent)
5) How many times has your fiancee' been married?
6) How many times have you been married?
7) What kind of work does your fiancee' do?
8) Does your fiancee' have any children?
9) What was the name of the place where you had the engagement party?
10) When did your fiancee' visit? How many times?

There was one more question but I just can't remember. I felt that this was more questions asked than usaully are asked. The other girl interviewing at the same time was asked what her fiancee's email address was. They didn't ask that question to Sao. She also told me as the interviews progressed he asked more and more questions to each girl. By the end of the day he could be asking 20 or 30 questions! Sao was the 3rd to be interviewed. The first lady got asked 4 questions. Believe me there was nothing out of the ordinary at all with our application. I don't know why he asks so many questions, but she knew all the answers.

I hope this helps for people being interviewed in BKK. I will put more in the embassy review section when I have time.

Good luck Jamie. good.gif Just take everything you have. Sao's, (and every other lady being interviewed the same day), only lasted 5 minutes. They did not ask Sao for any emails or chats sessions. The interviewer just asked around 8 questions. Remember, you turn in all of the paperwork as soon as you arrive at the embassy. So by the time of the interview, the interviewer already has reviewed your case and most likely has already made a decision. Read my post on the embassy section. Don't worry, everything will be fine!

My girl finally has the K-1 Visa! Four months of battles since the interview and we won. She flies to the US from BKK on the 23rd and I just thought I would see if anyone out there could take a few moments and help us out.

I need some one to tell Nan, in Thai, what to expect during her travels. Everything from check-in and carry-on baggage to Customs and POE instructions. I've explained as much as I know in English, but she's asked me to repeat this several times which leads be to believe she is a little anxious and not completely comfortable with what I've told her.

So, if anyone is familiar with the whole air travel and POE procedures and is fluent in Thai (or Laos), we would both greatly appreciate you taking a few moments and explaining everything to her.

Sometimes I get the all circuits are busy try later message. When Chutima calls me the sound quality is much better so I know that higher quality networks exist. I have vonage and the calls to thailand with vonage are even worse than the calling card and more expensive.

I know that all of them need to prove of ties to their country and I think we will be able to do that thru bank accounts in their names, owning a home there, etc.

I have heard of 10 year Tourist Visas. Do these exist? If so I would like to shoot for this type of Visa so if they visit again I won't have to go thru the process.

Any places on the web or here at VJ where I can get the answers or any advice from the seasoned Veterens here? smile.gif

Thanks a million?

Hello Everyone,

Since I am finished with USCIS/CSC, now it feels like starting over, (in a good way :) ).

I have read the threads telling us that we will get a NVC case # assigned and read a few other threads also, but I am still a little confused. So what do I do next? Do I sit on my butt and wait for a case # from NVC to be mailed to me or is there some other way to get the case #? I have read a few threads that have said by the time you get your NVC case # the petition is already at the embassy, or at least on its way. So do I call the NVC and how long should I wait to call? What is the telephone number? How long does it usaully take to get from CSC to the NVC? I know these questions have been asked a million times, but I ask you guys to indulge me. :)

Thanks for all you help ahead of time.

Wait about 10 days and then call NVC at 603.334.0700. Use menu selections -1-5 to speak to a human. They can give you your case number and a status. You want to know if the name check is complete and if they've sent the case on to the Consulate. Keep calling until you know the case is on its way abroad.



Thanks a lot. What is the name check?
