That was one of the perks having a lawyer, as soon as packet 3 was turned in, they were in the embassy everyday, and asking when we could get an interview, and checking when there were cancellations, or changes. We had an interview within 2 weeks of turning in packet 3.

Conulate is running very late on time lines for interviews from what I can see now. One lady got her packet 4 on 29th Dec. and her interview is set for 22nd Feb. so not sure why there is such a backlog but just adds to the long wait times.

Thanks for the info, very helpful. It'd be great to hear when you do get the interview scheduled.

Yeah, I read the news about the rally in Ratchaprasong this Sunday, and considered delaying sending until Monday, just in case, but sent anyways in hopes cooler hearts prevail this weekend.

Have you tried looking at the Embassy website for the interview schedule? I wonder if you can figure out how many people are waiting by comparing the BKK case numbers.

Yes i keep looking everyday to see if they have updated ....but still nothing so i did email them as it has been 2 weeks now since we sent in packet 3 with no word on interview yet. Will keep you posted if i hear anything.

Hopefully Egg and I will be right behind you as we'll be sending in packet 3 next week.

Thanks for the heads up on the pending demonstrations this weekend (red shirts Sunday, yellow shirts Tuesday). Egg was going to take the bus down to Bangkok to go shopping on Sunday to then pick up her Police report on Monday morning. When I see her tonight on Skype I'll try and talk her into going later in the week, as the Shopping Mall and Police Clearance Center are right in the middle of the demonstration area.

Also, does anyone know if the "Scheduled Appointment list" on the Bangkok Embassy website is broken? (I noticed that the last revision was December 28, 2010)


I seen the same thing no update on visa appont. simce Dec 28th and yet they say will update every monday??
So today i emailed the embassy to see if i can get a status report. I know Egg and Jeep were hoping for interviews on same day LOL

I have everything prepared for my K1 Visa Packet 3 to send to the Bangkok US Embassy! I'm sending via EMS, so it should get there on Monday.

Anyone at this step recently (last few months) who's gotten their interview scheduled yet? About how long is it taking nowadays? TIA


We sent our Packet 3 in on Jan 6 via EMS and are still waiting for interview. From what I have tried there is no way of calling the embassy
to find out the status, only by email so if we don't hear something soon I will try emailing.

Good luck and hope we get good news about interviews soon.

PS I see the Red and Yellow shirts are stating in again so I am hoping I can get the Fiancee out of Thailand before things turn bad.

Anybody who filed through the California service center have to wait the full 5 months or longer?

My fiancee and I are getting rather antsy. We filed August 6th 2010 and have not received anything as of yet. Not even a touch.

This is rather dis-heartening to say the least.



If it goes beyond the 5 month mark, what should I do that will actually kick this into gear? I assume just calling won't really do it. Maybe calling my congressman? Use the fact that I'm a vet? I don't know, I just want to be with my wife. Not too much to ask in my opinion.

Thoughts?

Is your time line correct?? The reason I am asking is you have and Oct. NOA 1 date which would put you out to Feb or March for NOA 2
I see you sent in your Packet in July but have an Oct. NOA 1 Date.

I was hoping to get the NOA2 before Christmas. The case hasn't even been touched since it was received on 9th August.

I'm kinda down about this. I should be able to bring her to the States already. I miss her.


Mine was the same way..........was touched on Aug. 9th
and then nothing untill I got it in the mail. I am sure
it will be coming soon...Good Luck.

Question for all you Thai culture experts. As most of you might know already Five told me over a week ago that she's not ready for marriage and I wasn't the right man for her etc.....
I canceled her ticket and luckily was able to get most of the money back.
Her dad called me Saturday and said that he hoped that I had not canceled the ticket because he wanted to take Five to the airport so that she could come. Her parents very much want her to go to states and be with me. They think that she's made a decision and needs to not give up. They also worry about losing face/honor in front of their whole family, friends, and co workers. Everyone knows that we're engaged. Had a big party there in May.
So I'm worried that Five might come back feeling pressured by her dad to come to Utah. Any secret to know if she has a real change of mind or if she's following her dad's orders?

At this point even if she says sorry and that she wants to come I'm not really sure I would want her to come....


Not sure if i am a Issan expert..........but i have alot of first hand knowlage from living there for close to 5 years. I would be careful as saving face in Thailand is more important than any marriage that i know of. And parents are the most powerful thing to deal with in that country when it comes to what they think their children should or shouldn't do has nothing to do with love. Good luck and hope things turn out well for you.
