The US Embassy, Bangkok, emailed me to say they had received Packet 3 and mailed Packet 4. Should be in tomorrow's post. They also said in the email that the interview had been scheduled for May 16. Does anyone know if we can schedule something earlier?? Looking at the Embassy website, the latest interviews are mid April. I am hoping that there will be information in Packet 4 pertaining to purchasing a pin and scheduling an earlier date.

Any thoughts????

Thanks!

oulteseller,

There's no "purchasing a pin" from the IV unit, that's a NIV unit procedure.

The time between submitting DS-230-I and signed statement of readiness for interview, and the scheduled interview date, has been +-3 months for years, although sometimes closer to 2 months in the past year or so. Sounds like the consistency continues.

The US Embassy, Bangkok, emailed me to say they had received Packet 3 and mailed Packet 4. Should be in tomorrow's post. They also said in the email that the interview had been scheduled for May 16. Does anyone know if we can schedule something earlier?? Looking at the Embassy website, the latest interviews are mid April. I am hoping that there will be information in Packet 4 pertaining to purchasing a pin and scheduling an earlier date.

Any thoughts????

Thanks!

How did you get them to email you and inform that they recieved packet 3 and then sent packet 4? I am really struggling with this right now. We sent packet three mid-late feb. No word from the embassy and I can't get anyone to tell me what is going on. Can you help please. Thanks.

goontar,

How long did it take for her to receive her visa application packet?

The consulate may consider the packet mailed when it is put in the outbox to go to the mailroom. So there may be a day or two before the packet gets to the Thai postal system.

I think that is probably the case. I will give it a few more days and see if she recieves it.

Can't remember how long it took to recieve packet 3 because I was'nt paying attention at the time.

I would really like to bump up the interview date a couple of weeks but doubt if they will give it to us.
