Bangkok visa interview availability

[Zoltan K 86]

just as recent as a month ago the Bangkok embassy was scheduling K visa interviews 2 weeks out.

unfortunately summer vacation and probably staffing issues happened there and they got backed up, so now they are scheduling 2 months out..

 

here is a response I received from the IV scheduling unit:

 

"We do not have visa interview appointment on the requested date. There is no visa interview for the first and second week of August. The schedule is fully booked until SEPT 12, 2019"

I noticed that also. I was sure our interview would happen in 2 to 3 weeks, but ours was scheduled almost 7 weeks out. I emailed them asking if it was a mistake. Nope. 🙄

We had the same issue of having to wait about two months between completing Packet 3 and having the interview scheduled. In the end the timing worked out great for us.  It'll happen for you too.

medical passed today, fiancee has the envelops and the embassy called and offered a month earlier appointment, so now we are scheduled for Aug 19th!

 

they did that because we have 2 kids and I told them we are trying to get them to the USA for the beginning of the school year, so they don't miss too much or arrive too late when the class already formed with friendships established.

 

less than 3 weeks to go

interview passed and visa approved verbally. Passports should be back in a few days

I'm flying to Thailand this coming Friday, so this will be fun

I received the below message in email from the Thai Post Office. Could anyone shed some light on how the tracking works in Thailand?

 

How could I track this package?

Congratulations!  I'm very happy for you.  I'm glad that your interview was able to be moved up!

Have anyone reached out to the embassy to have their interview date changed? Which email should I use to make this request? 

 

Thanks.
