Currently.... they have issued Ice the incorrect GC and we have tried 4 times to fix it. First time they had us send it to the incorrect address. Second time they said we used an expired form, which was the form they gave us. Third time was "oh sorry we lost the last page, can you send it again?." Fourth time is the gov is shut down. Will this ever be corrected in time for Ice to get the permanent GC? Stay tuned to find out. T_T

I did want to thank those that replied to my question concerning Thai holidays. The responses gave me some good ideas. Well, except for daboyz response.

How do I notify the embassy that Ice's address is changing?

It seems like he is only moving to Bangkok to accomodate the visa process. I would not consider this a permanent move. If that is the case, I would not change the address at this stage in the visa process. If you alreadyreceived and sent the packet 3 back, I wouldn't worry about it. You would be notified via email with the interview invitation letter. If they issue his visa, he will be able to pick it up in person a few days after it has been approved. He shouldn't be getting any additional mail correspondence. But if you insist in on changing your address with the embassy. Contact them via email the same way I showed you before.

So they won't send him any packet 4 by snail mail? He doesn't want his family to see it.

They said 8-10 weeks for interview date from the time that we sent packet 3. We sent it Oct 1. That means Dec, right?

BTW Ice moved to an apartment called Suchavadi House, and it's in the middle of nowhere and I feel really bad. No heated water, squat toilet, nowhere to dry clothes, nowhere to go during the day cause it's in the jungle....and he has to walk really far to get to the train station. :(

Most likely. Also remember Also remember the embassy is closed on thai holidays and american holidays so they will be closed thanksgiving.

How far away is Ice's apartment from the airport? When Pui lived in thailand she lived off of latkrabang road. She lived close to the airport about a 10 minute drive to the airport. What she did was walked to a place where they had van that took people to the bus station and from there took a bus to the airport and from there you can get on the airport link into bangkok if needed.

I dunno how far he is, but there is only one restaurant, and it's near the highway and in the jungle apparently. He has been using taxi to go to the market and buy food. He said it kind of feels like prison :unsure:

Anyhow, I really hope that despite all of their breaks, we'll be together for Christmas. This is all very discouraging, especially since we got stuff done so quickly after NOA2. <_< We have paid the visa fee, done the medical, gave them packet three- all within like three days. Mostly I just hate seeing him depressed. And now he's more isolated. I hope he finds things to do out there. :clock:

Well, my in laws are starting to get the flooding in the mooban around Bang Sue in Bangers. They have moved all the vehicles up towards Rama V bridge. My wife is freaked out. They are sandbagging as I type.

Our house out in Prachinburi has had some flooding, my house is right off a village klong and my 1979 Vespa P200e is parked in our wharehouse right next to it...my MIL jokingly told me that it had been washed away.. The house is built up around 5 feet above ground level, so no fears on that.

Hoping that all who have loved ones withstand this and come through safe and sound.

oops..

All that have loved ones in the effected areas withstand this and come through safe and sound.

May Buddha bless.
