SAWASDEE 3 (2009 Thai thread restarted)

[Nahathai_Ike 0]

I have not visited this site before. Look like there are a lot of information regarding Thailand. It is good that I do not have to create another thread or topic.

Quick question about the medical at Bamroongrad hospital ---> my wife went to do the medical last month for her first shot and received a brown envelope. Everything looks fine.

I chatted with her an hour ago to review all of the documents. She said that the hospital did not give her the vaccination book, (to be signed or recorded by the doctors who performed such action.) My wife said that all of the vaccination records were in the OPD folder at the hospital.

My wife said that she did not ask for one because she did not know that it was necessary and the hospital did not give her anything back that day, except the brown envelope. Does she need to have the vaccination book as well in order to show at the US embassy regarding what type of shots had been put inside? (I am not even sure whether the vaccination records (book) is available in English.)

She plans to go back to the hospital this coming Tuesday, April 7, 2009 for the second shot, which will be approximately 30 days apart from the first one.

Please advise. Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I have some information for you guys, let start with

1.) I read on the embassy page here at VJ that the police clearance takes about a week. Still accurate?

**When I went there everyone was told to come back and get it next 2 weeks (10-14 days office hours) You can use NOA1,NOA2,letter from the consulate (copy) or whatever that can confirm to the police about your purpose to get the visa (for study,work,married)

In case of K1 and K3 the police will ask your fiancee about your copy of passport with your signature to prove it.

2.) Do you have to schedule your medical exam ahead of time, or can you just walk in? Do you have to wait days for results, or after you leave is it done? Do they give you something to give to the officer at the interview?

** For Bumrungrad You can walk in,but I would like to suggest you to make and appointment it s more convenience. We will serve patient who Do make an appointment first. And if your fiancee is a new there, she should call to open her account to get the patient number(we call "Hospital number" "/HN") don't worry it doesn’t take too long just need 1.her name and family name correct with her passport 2. her date of birth 3.her phone number .Only tell staff that she would like to do med exam for US. visa normally the doctor schedule is Mon - Fri 07:00 - 16:00 hrs. and Sat - Sun 07:00 - 12:00 hrs.(but for this month on the 5,11 - 15 he cancel clinic because of holiday)Please call to confirm his schedule before coming. After making the appointment staff will confirm you about things required 1.Medical exam form from the embassy if you didn't get P3 yet just download and print from the website OR you can get it here we will charge you only 200 ฿ 2. Passport the original and one copy 3.her ID. card just the original one 4. One Photo size 1" or 1 1/2" 5.the record of her vaccine (if have)

** Pricing

- Med exam 2450 ฿

-Vaccine required TD, Measles, Mumps, Rubella = 2 shots 4 kinds = 1408 ฿

Total is 3858 ฿

but in case of your fiancee needs more vaccines.... (that why we need her vaccine record)

Chicken pox vaccine - Varilrix SC 0.5 mL

- Okavax SC 0.5 mL ..... same price 1630 ฿

Hepatitis B = HBvaxPRO (Adult) 10 mcg/1 mL IM = 723 ฿

HPV. = Cervarix 2530 (age 9-26 YO.) and if your fiancée have enough time (6 months) I suggest to buy the vaccine by package it cost 6800 ฿ more cheaper than get the second and third shot at the US.

any vaccine price if you want to know please let me know .

But if you want to save money you can go to the Saowabha Institute Rama4 to get vaccines there price much more cheaper then bring the record to show the doctor.

About the result you can get it in the same day if everything normal better to go before noon.

3.) On the embassy's website, it seems to suggest that unless you are the interviewee, you cannot even wait in the waiting area with your fiancee, but I seem to remember others saying they did in fact wait with their fiancee, but I can't remember exactly. Can someone comment on this?

** Here is a trick ……….. tell the guard that you want to contact the citizen section then when he let you get in just pretend to walk to that section because there are guards inside catch there eyes on you but don’t worry citizen section is near the interviewing room there is a connecting door you can walk through to the interview room but you can not sit beside her.

4.) I have read that sometimes you need "packet 3" to show to the police to get your certificate, in addition to the NOA2, and a copy of my passport, and possibly a letter of intent from me. I cannot personally sign these yet. Is that ok? Also, why do you need to show them packet 3? Isn't packet 3 just a bunch of forms that you can download off the website anyway?

** You can use NOA1,NOA2,letter from the consulate (copy) or whatever that can confirm to the police about your purpose to get the visa (for study,work,married)

In case of K1 and K3 the police will ask your passport with your signature to prove it.

One thing, the police will ask your fiancée to exchange her card before get in do not give him her ID card because she need to use it inside she can give her driver's licence or employee ID card ect….

5.) When paying the $131 $ fee at post office make sure fiancee keeps receipt in safe place you will need at interview.

** New update for package 3 form the receipt is one of the check list so you need to put the original one in the package send back to the embassy please don’t forget to make a copy to show him on the interview day .

6.) The completed medical papers are only good for 6 months. It is ok to do the medical portion before receiving packet 3. i used the same medical papers that DABOYZ just posted.

(Yeah this is what the embassy told me as well but seems like another girl on www.usvisa4thai.com kind fight with me about this, she said it is valid for 1 year which I don't think so. Because I think I better rely on what the embassy told me. )

**The medical report valid in 6 months mean the date you did the medical exam until your interview date.

The medical report valid in 12 months mean the date you did the medical exam until you contact the AOS stage in the US.

The vaccination record should be in the brown envelope. We got a separate envelope with a copy of the DS2035 in it, just so we had a record of which shots she had, this was at BNH and they automatically gave that to us. We have no needed to give it to anyone else.

When my wife goes to have the second shot done, where it will be recorded since the book is already in the sealed brown envelope? Should she ask for another one to demonstrate that the second shot has been made? Or will the hospital give her another type of paperwork certified that she has the second shot completed?

Please advise. Thank you.

They only care that the first shot is done.

Does anyone know if I have to have phone bills and hotel receipts translated to English as well. It seems like a strange thing to translate, but you never know. Did anyone else do or not do this?

Just ust textmarker on your and her phone numbers and bring them on her interview with your photos,chat log,receipt of money tranfer,emails,ect.

[magic girl 0]

We had the birth certificate translated and the single certificate translated, but that was it. The birth certificate you have to have translated for AOS, so you might as well do over there.

What's a "single certificate"?

The document that says she is free to marry, I forget the name of it, and am to lazy to look it up. It didn't necessarily need to be translated, but the attorney did it anyways. I think it is better to have them translated so the consular can read them rather then relying on the Thai staff. If they are un-helpful like the day we were there, then having the consular being able to read the documents helps.

Is this a required document for all, or just for those who have been married before?

Required for girls who have never been married. In the case of someone who has been married, they have a divorce decree to show they are no longer married.

I did translate Birth certificate,Name change certificate,Verification of unmarried status (single certificate)although it say:Required if you have not registered a previous marriage.I have never been married but sometime THE MAN ask for it I don't want to waste my time to go back again next day or next week so I try to complete everything before the interview day.Somecase he ask to see her parents death certificate,her transcript (don't need to translate ) ,You never known what will be asked for ! The document that he ask more,you can bring just only on Monday afternoon 13:00-15:00 hrs.

I also did my house registration translate .

The verification of unmarried status is required since you have never been married, not optional what so ever. I forgot we did translate her house registration also. I completely forgot about that document. There are two days you can bring back your information when requested to do so, Monday & Wednesday 13:00 - 15:00 hrs. I would suggest arriving as early as possible the line gets long. We got there on our return trip at 12:00pm, and there must have been 40 or 50 people behind us by 12:15, and we did not get out until 14:45, just some info if you have to go back and resubmit items.

At Bumrungrad Hospital after you complete medical exam you will get 2 brown envelopes(small one is the result of the exam and the vaccine list that you got,the big one is film x-ray)they will be sealed and staff will tell you DO NOT open them they are for the embassy! And they will give you a white envelopes,it is a copy of the result and vaccine list same as the small brown one.In the white envelope you have to keep it for the AOS and after the interview they will return you the film x-ray ,when you fly DO NOT load it in a plane just take it with you.

You don't need the vaccination history for AOS. They were included in your medical, and since the vaccinations were done as part of your medical, it is not necessary to submit them with your AOS packet.

Since she'll be getting a CR-1 visa, she won't need to have anything other than what is in the envelope. With a CR-1 she does have to have all of the required vaccinations in order to get the visa, unlike K visas. Everyone should keep a copy of their vaccination records, so if they don't give you one, ask for it.

We are filing the required vaccination supplement with AOS. Those doing AOS do need their vaccination history. CR-1s don't need it for immigration purposes, but it's good to keep a copy, because you never know when you might need it.

It clearly states in filling out the AOS forms that if part of your medical on a K Visa, the vaccinations were performed, you do not need to submit the supplemental with your AOS packet. Since the Bangkok embassy requires all K visas to have their vaccinations done, when applying for AOS, you do not need to submit the supplemental, it is already part of your medical packet. I agree everyone should keep a copy of their vaccination history, I have my book from when I was a baby, and it has been updated every time I get one.

Hi Aaron,

Read #8 on the instructions: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-485instr.pdf

It is not worth it to get an RFE. Hope you are doing well. I haven't been around as we've been planning another wedding. My DIL is tired of snow and missing her hubby, but otherwise doing quite well. In twenty-nine days she'll get to see him again, if all goes well. She is a gem. I will miss her greatly when they move.
