Quite A Few Questions

[dwheels76 5,473]

This certianly wasnt true in my own case. Nor that of several others I helped with in the recent past. These exact questions came up in the interview of a person where her husband was also living in Afgan. Answered corrctly she was granted her visa. Her husband did as mine did and wrote to them explaning the situation.

Sorry didn't mean to mislead. You are right when you said ealier every case is deiffernt. I apologize for misinformation. Thanks Ning. I love to learn.

You may be a little confused about the tax info. A transcript can be mailed to you, faxed to you or handed to you by the IRS. This is free and could be done very easily by fax in your situation. You dont need W 2s. All they need is the transcripts.

They are concerned about your present employment. Any future questions would be connected to the AOS meeting down the road. If you needed to do so you could use a co sponsor at that time.

My husband was able to attend my interview because he lived in Thailand at that time. This brought up the very question you asked. He sent them a short letter explaining what he was doing about employment after we got to the USA. He wasnt even asked about this at the interview but we must remember each case is truly unique. While its obviouse that you will be seeking you might construct a letter explaining what you will do and what you expect to find in your field of work. I would set this aside for now but have it if the need arose.

It seems to me that your plan for the initial time they have in the USA is solid and shows she has the support of your family along with your own. Many people dont enjoy this begining.

They don't allow this any longer. The USC will not even be allowed into the embassy.

Thailand to Florida, i'm at a similar spot in this process, as you are, although NVC received my case on July 9, and I'm still waiting for the case number. Anyway, I'm a contractor in Qatar, wife in Thailand and we've run into a snag. I was preparing the docs for the second batch of paperwork needed by NVC, but the Police Check office in Bangkok refused to do the police check until she showed them a letter from the US Embassy with the "Visa Number" on it and a statement stating that my wife will be moving to the USA for residence. (their words, not mine). This may be a catch 22 situation cause before the case goes to the American embassy, you have to be completed at NVC, and the way I understand it, the police check is one of the documents required before the embassy interview is scheduled.

Anybody have experience with the Thailand Police Check? Is there a way around it, or is it not a requirement for beneficiaries who are living in Thailand until the package gets to the embassy?

Show them NOA2 or the notice from NVC. Either one will work fine.

Thanks Karee, i was thinking of trying that, but wasn't sure at what stage I would be receiving a "notice" from NVC. When would I receive this notice from NVC ? After I've made the invoice payments? And I assume this notice has the case number on it.

The info on this post isnt about police reports. Try using the search block to find info on your subject. In just the recent past there have been a few on this very question you have.

Karee is correct but I would add that in several recent cases the police wanted to see a copy of the USCs front page of the passport along with the NOA .

That is true. It kinda comes down to being prepared. Send her everything. Chances are they wont ask for it. In case they do, have it all ready. At the end of the day, they are Thai cops. You're at their mercy.

Toss a cigarette on the platform at the Siam square BTS station. See what happens.

Take this from someone that spent a long night in a Thai jail.

You're right, i'll make sure she has that extra paperwork, just in case.

And Karee,stay out of that monkey house!

I got a night off from the wife. BTW the U.S. embassy is useless there.

The guy I hired to assist my wife with the visa process on her end was already aware the police require some sort of paperwork prior to completing the background check. He told me to email him the NOA2 when I get it (it's still in the mail system at the moment) and already has all the other paperwork they could possibly want.

I'm feeling a bit better about the process after reading all the information on here and exchanging a few emails with the visa guy in Thailand. I sent him a bunch of paperwork today and he's getting everything together to lesson the time needed between now and the interview. With any luck, my wife and son will be in the States with in a few months. With work, college, this visa process, and going through everything required to purchase a home, I'm a bit over extended at the moment and could really use a bit of an easy streak.

Thanks for everyone's assistance!!!

Yeah don't over think it. The whole thing takes alot of time. Beware of the "visa guy" They're all crooks. Especially those guys across the street on Wittayu.

I know what you're saying, but I actually like the guy assisting us. He's been incredibly helpful and patient and was referred to me by a friend who worked with the guy to get his wife a visa to Australia. I'll keep him honest. ;-)

The USC will not even be allowed into the embassy.

Karee....I was under the impression that as a USC you can not be denied the right to enter a US embassy?? I accompanied my husband for an interview for a previous non-immigrant visa (I wasn´t allowed to attend the interview, but I could be with him in the waiting room)and the guard told me if I was chilean, he would not have let me pass, but as a USC I had the right to go in regardless of the motive (obviously not a crazy terrorist motive lol).
