Bringing my Fiance from Thailand

[Yodrak 7]

Jamie76,

Most if not all of the consular officers who conduct interviews in Bangkok speak passable Thai. My sense is that most visa applicants have their interviews in Thai.

"Jamie,

Follow the guidelines here in VJ. It tells you everything that you need and what to send in. I also used another site which gave me a list of items that I need for the Petition of Fiance. More information is always better. As for your fiance she will need to do a intent to marry and the G325 (make sure that this is the 4 pager and do not copy the first page because the bottoms are different). Her phone records and pictures are proof of a relationship and are good.

As for the job as long as you can show contiunious employment then you will be just fine."

Do you know if she has the option of taking her interview in Thai? She can speak English but she thinks she would be more comfortable speaking Thai. She talked to someone who went through the interview and they told her she had the option to use either or.

TimsDaisy thanks for the info. on the region specific forums. I'm sure that will come in useful in the near future.

In my humble opinion, if she can speak in English, she better speak in English in Interview process. That will prove her to be able to live in U.S. without communication problem. But if she is not comportable in speaking in English, she can ask it before Interview start such as paperwork reviewer from consulate.

For evidence of phone call, if you have a lot of calling card, and it can impress anybody, you can take the picture of stacked used calling card for evidence, and bring it to Interview. I had a couple of hundreds calling cards, and once I was thinking to decorate one room with those. :-)

Jamie,

When my fiancee went for an interview last October there were both Thai and US staffs presented at the interview. You should not worry much for the interview. Be sure to follow the guideline in VJ.

She just told me that she talked to one lady on a Thai forum that had problems with this. When she asked to do the interview in Thai, the interpreters Thai was not very good so there were many misunderstandings. They also questioned why she would want to do the interview in Thai if her fiance was American and spoke english. I guess this went around and around. She didn't tell me if the visa was granted.

I think it is probably just best she do it in english. Can I sit in at the interview to help prevent any misunderstandings or is that not allowed?

Yes, you can be at the interview. They can ask you question too. Understanding English helps. The interview can be in either Thai or English but if she can show that she speaks some English it will go a long way. I know that I am trying to get my fiance to speak some English but she is worried about making a fool out of herself and answering something wrong because she did not understand what what asked of her.
