How long after the Consulate receives the Packet 3 should we expect to hear about our interview date?

Another member asked this question a short while back and received no responses. So, I guess I'll have a go.

How long after the Consulate receives the Packet 3 should we expect to hear about our interview date?

I got interview date a day after they received my packet.

I don't know if this is accurate but a while back, I was looking over various timelines and it appeared to take about 4-5 weeks for an interview appointment once packet 3 was recieved. I wouldn't know if the timelines I viewed were typical or atypical.

I got interview date a day after they received my packet.

How long after that was your appointment - maybe about 4 weeks?

Whats concerning me at the moment is we have not gotten delivery confirmation from Thai post. my girlfriend "thinks" she asked for delivery confirmation, but I don;t think she did. If we don;t get an appointment letter by next week, I'll start bugging the Consulate.

I got interview date a day after they received my packet.

How were you notified? Email?

Thai post doens't notify you the delivery confirmation by email like FedEx. If she still has the receipt with her, you can check the delivery online from Thaipost website. I remember it is the 13 number starts with EK.... something. It should be on the third line..on top right of the receipt. Your packet should get there in one day for EMS.

To be honest, I had been bugging the consulate since I got NVC number. I emailed them with my BNK number and asked if they have my case in Bangkok. I emailed them again later and asked if I could schedule interview date while my Thai police clearance was pending. They said'yes', so I sent my packet 3 in with all other necessary documents except police clearance which i will bring it with me on interview date. Once I check Thaipost website and it showed that my packet was delivered, I emailed them again and asked if they have received it and that I was looking forward to receive interview date. So, I got interview date one day after they received my packet.

All I am trying to say is that you don't have to wait for to contact them. They answer your question by email very quickly. Remember that you should put your BNK number every time you email them and be polite, that's all. Good luck to you both

Gotcha, Done and done. Sent an email.

You are probably right about Thai Post. I've been asking her if we will get an email and she said yes. But, as we haven't gotten one, I'm guessing we need to check the website. I'll ask her for the number during our morning call.

So, you got the appointment notice after one day, but how far out was the appointment?

[Chanakarn 1]

3 weeks

[slowlyman 118]

She threw away the receipt. She didn't think it was important. Guess I won't be tracking the packet.

[slowlyman 118]

Received an email from the consulate indicating they have receives the Packet 3. Further telling us to wait for an email with our interview date. Just going into the weekend, so I guess we won't hear anything until Monday earliest.

I guess I must have sounded a little stressed about the Thai post receipt being thrown away. My girlfriend went rooting around in the dumpster until she found it. Now that's dedication.

That's good that they responded to you, and confirmed they have packet 3.

[slowlyman 118]

The Consulate has been good about responding to email. I was wondering today how sequestration is effecting them.

It probably doesn't affect them at all. It wont make a political statement by holding up visa interviews. Delaying flights is another matter.

Got our date today. 26 June. 30 days after packet 3
