We are at the end of our K1 journey my fiancé is about to send in her packet 3 and they will schedule a interview date soon. We are going to have our daughter on March 5th in Thailand, we are afraid they will schedule her interview for mid Feb possibly and was wondering if anyone here has had to request a date change and was it a difficult thing to get done. To go to the interview we will need to fly to Bangkok from Lampang about 1 hour or so and all that walking and traveling is not good if you are that pregnant :-)  

 

Just curious if anyone else has run into this situation before, as always thank you for any help or information you can provide.

Don’t send the packet 3 until she’s had the baby. 

Not sure that will work, on our NOA2 it has a March 12 expiration date, and she is going to have the baby on March 5th. Afraid of cutting it so close if that happens.

Contact the Embassy.  They have the ability to extend the validity period of the petition approval by one year for reason. I think you have a good reason

We got our K1 at the US embassy in BKK, my fiance had very good experience.  I wasn't there but I got the impression from her feedback that they are efficient and  reasonable.  I would let the process play out, let them schedule you.  If the date ends up to be near the date she is due, contact them.  They will accommodate.

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."
