So what exactly happened?

I'm Thai transgender with breast operation.

The consular woman said " The doctor can't correct my medical paperwork though I have told him that I did ####### jobs 2 years ago...

After I sent out paperwork to the Embassy,still in AP and you know I can feel she mess up because I only focus on my breast exactly !!!

Many people in the US,they did surgery.I never know what' I did,it's affect my interview and I've been waiting visa for 1 month !!!

I doubt your problem is about breast reconstruction. The embassy wouldn't care if people have these operations. The A P could be about many thing including your background. I am sure you understand your situation is far different that the average case they see.

A P is very difficult to endure because there is no way to figure out exactly what they are looking into. I have seen A P cases in Thailand take 2 weeks to 6 months. Hopefully yours will not take too much longer.

People in the USA don't need visas so please don't get yourself confused about what is relevant to your case.

Visas for same-sex partners are new for all Embassies and I can understand why they could take longer to ensure all is covered.

Everything was perfect,your case just fine but you need to go back to your doctor,make him certified that you have breast surgery,she said

Do they care ? I think so

My doctor has to called to the Embassy to asked how to certified correct way ....

But however this is no reason to talked about this because interview is gone.

I wish I will get visa soon.

PS.The doctor certified that I did breast surgery in 2012 but the Embassy unhappy because doctor can't correct paperwork that they exactly want !!

We are talking about this because you brought it up. You are also now adding info which changes the context somewhat.

You think they care if you had breast augmentation? Why would that matter? What would you do about it at this point anyway?

All they care about is having the correct documents in your file. The surgery is part of the medical docs. If your doctor didn't include that in the medical its probably because the doc didn't think it was important at the time. You can see by what both sides did they aren't used to dealing with this issue.

You are in A P because the embassy does see transgender people much and needed time to make sure they are proceeding correctly. Keep in mind there are transgender people right here in the USA.

I hope you get the visa soon as well but we must try to understand the unusual aspect of the case.

I think you are only speculating as to why your AP is taking so long. How do you know your embassy was unhappy because of the paperwork from the doctor? As Ning already emphasized there are several reasons why people are put into AP and being processed longer than the usual. Being a transgender is not a big issue and same-sex couples have already been reported approved in a lot of consulates, but like everybody else, they have to do what they think are necessary like doing background checks of both petitioner and beneficiary. Trying to understand the reasons for this will lead you nowhere, but distress. For now, what you can only do is wait for updates, and maybe call the embassy (once or twice a week). They will definitely contact you as well if they need any new document from you.

Good luck and don't worry too much!

Thank you so much as you said and as I've been notice many cases that stuck under 221g section,take about 7 days till 6 months in Thailand.I'm clearly understand my situation that unusual because just new for all embassy.In the other hand,it's good that they try to correct my document because it means I would have no problem to spend my life in Seattle.I guess hahaha

I hope and I wish to get visa as soon as possible.

PS. "All they care about is having the correct documents in your file." Very perfect conversation and make me getting stronger !!!

Well said sweetcakes.

I think Blossomman now has a better understanding and view into the future.

I don't really know but doubt it will take a long time to get thru this A P period. While it is unusual in some regards it just might be that this aspect shortens the time because once understood there shouldn't be anymore questions to answer.

Seattle is going to great including some fantastic restaurants around the wharf area.

My previous post should have said, doesn't see transgender people much. Sorry for the confusion.

I think the USEM in Bangkok spins a wheel with numbers 0-9. If your case number ends in the number it lands on, they put you in AP. Maybe they throw darts at a board. Hard to say.
