Anyone approved for DCF in Bangkok?

I'm currently living in Bangkok with my wife, i'm on a Non-immigrant Thai visa. I want to DCF in 5 months here in Bangkok (at that point i'll have been in Thailand on the Non-Immigrant visa for 6 months). I was wondering how easy it is to get accepted to file your i-130 at the Bangkok USCIS field office if you have been on a Non-Imm visa for 6 months. I called the field office and asked and she said that after 6 months that i would be eligible to file at their office, however, she advised that i Bring as much proof of residency as possible.  If i have (in addition to having my non-imm visa for 6 months) a Thai bank account and a Thai work permit, would that be enough proof of residence to file at their office? I really don't want to wait 5 months to file DCF only to be rejected from being eligible.  I've read several places that it could be relatively difficult to be approved for DCF in Bangkok. Does anyone have any insight? Thanks in advance.

If you have the Thai visa, you should be fine. Again wait until after six months to file. Gather any other evidence you have showing your stay was actually living there, not just being a tourist including apartment rental agreement, your visa, any ID for Thai visa, any driver's license ect... 

 

Also Here is some great information for you to read that I found.

Thank you for the response.  One thing that I’m slightly worried about pertains to our current address in Thailand.  The apartment building my wife and I live at has refused multiple requests to add my name onto the rental agreement (lease) so therefore I’m unable to get a residence card, or a drivers license. Because of the refusal of the landlord to add my name to my wife’s lease, In order to get my Non Imm O visa I was forced to use my wife’s parents address in Saraburi as our place of residence (although we don’t actually reside there). I’m afraid that leaves me with only a Thai bank account and a work permit as proof of residence here in Thailand. Do you think that would suffice? Or, would the USCIS office insist on seeing some sort of rental agreement or lease with my name on it? If so, would it be possible to just have my wife’s parents prepare some sort of lease that ties me to an actual address (even though we don’t actually live there or pay rent)?

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thank you.
