Packet 3 bangkok, waiting on police backround check

[udonthanikevin 0]

It has been over 6 weeks waiting for the police report to arrive, called to check up a week ago. The response was oh just finishing it today, will send tomorrow. BS!

Any way, while we wait I have 1 more question, should I send evidence of continued relationship ( most recent flights , hotel receipts and skype logs, and emails) with packet 3 or should I have my fiancée bring those to the interview with packet 4?

Thank you in advance , your guys and gals have been great!

Bring the relationship evidence to the interview. I hope she has a bunch of photos. They want to see photos there. They don't seem to care about the other stuff. I lived with my wife for years in Bangkok and proved that, but only gave them a few photos. They gave us a 221g and we had to submit more photos.

Thanks you for your reply!

I have about 25 to 30 photos from over the past 2.5 years in 5 trips to Thailand. Do you think that is enough? In the early days I didn't take hardly any photos, I never would have thought that I would be getting married to anyone, let alone a foreign national. But as time went on I started to take more documentation photos , even to the point of creating the scene with my fiancée, myself and friends and family, for the sole purpose of k-1 visa.

I'll disagree with Karee here. I would send some new photos now and bring some photos to the interview. According to some, the decision is pretty much made before you ever show up for the interview. I would want those photos in front of the CO during the review phase.

As far as how many is enough, I think quality is more important then quantity. I believe photos of you with her family doing everyday things carry more weight then photos of the two of you at the typical temple and tourist trap.

I also believe you could send 1,000 photos but if the rest of your evidence is weak you still won;t get approved. Photos are just part of the package. Don't get so focused on pics that you neglect the rest of the P3 docs.

Curious about your police report delay, Did you pay the "real" fee of 100 bht?

Yes I paid the real fee , but wish I just paid the " give me my report right now fee" . Any way yai just called and said the police report has arrived in the village home.

In the case of a CR-1/IR-1 visa (our case), there's no opportunity to send anything. There is no packet 3, so we didn't need to send anything prior to the interview. They just send you a letter (email now) that says "here's your interview date. Get your medical done and bring your relationship evidence to the interview."
