we filed my wife's 13 year old son with her on the I129f but he did not interview at the time that my wife did. We are now ready to bring him to USA and schedule his interview but the process has change. It seems that before we paid for the interview fee at Thai Post, now the instruction on the website read:

Contact any of the 700 designated branches of Krungsri Bank to pay the fee. Print the CGI Pay Instruction Sheet and Bay Bank Deposit Slip from your profile.

I can't find any good instruction on how or where to start a profile so we can get the instruction sheet and Deposit slip

Help Please!

Thank You!

Send her to the bank. They know how to do this. Bay?

Does she have to required permission from the father? Court order? One or the other must be presented to embassy.

THE BANK SAID TO GET THE FORMS ONLINE FROM EMBASSY. embassy website says that if your paperwork from the old way is still good and pending that there is no need for the DS-160 but they don't tell you how to proceed. Emailing the embassy does not help, they only send you links and not instruction and the online instructions for packet 3 give a less than useful phone number that you are to call for assistance with starting your profile( the number is good but it just keeps you in an automated loop so you never talk to anyone).

We are now doing the DS-160, then the profile and hoping nothing conflicts with what is already in the works from the old way.

yes, the father signed papers and will be at the interview

you just got to love government efficiency!
