Package 3 preparations and going Bangkok for police and medical.

[aahmed 0]

The NVC mailed out my paperwork to the US embassy in Thailand on 10/12/11. My fiance wants to go to Bangkok and start the process for the police and medical test/checkups. Do you know if the recent onslaught of flooding has slowed or affected the processes for getting the police records or medical exams etc. Any personal experiences would be very helpful.

Does the American Embassy close for 2 weeks in December? I checked the website and it says it is closed only for 3 days in December( 5th, 12th and 26th). I find it surprising that government offices are not closed for longer. I am wondering what the chances of her interview date being in December are? She should have all the paperwork ready to be mailed back to the embassy within a week of receiving Package 3. Which I suspect should be mailed out to her hopefully 30 days after the embassy receives it -- 11/12/11(not sure of this).

Any one who is in Bangkok now - I would love to hear from you!!

Thanks!

Sorry I do not know what the flood is effecting for getting the police report or for the hospitals. You or your fiance might want to call the hospitals and the place for where you get the police report and ask if they are open. You can find their numbers here http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Thailand&cty=Bangkok. If your fiance lives in Chiang Mai maybe have them go to the doctor there? The embassy is only closed those three days in December. I do not know when your interview will be but I am guessing with the flooding that has happened in Bangkok that is not going to help anybody with a fast interview date. Good luck and hopefully all this water will run into the ocean soon.
