It was very uneventful interview in Bangkok. Arrived at 6:30 am. Got inside at 6:45 am. Guard does not allow to bring cell phones or laptops inside. Submitted paperwork to window #5. Sit and wait till 10 am. A lot of people inside applying for a variety of visas. Only one clerk appeared to be working on K1/3 visas. There were 2 couples with kids and one single woman. At least one couple got the visa, the rest I could not tell. Interviewer spoke broken Thai. My fiancé had a hard time understanding his questions. Her English is way better then his Thai. I have no idea why didn’t he just ask her in English. Questions: How did you meet your fiancé? Where did you meet your fiancé? How many times your fiancé visited Thailand? Where does he lives? He asked me some meaningless questions and it was over. Oh yes, he fingerprinted my fiancé as well. “Return to pick up visa day after tomorrow at 3 p.m.”

Over all, besides a 3 hour wait and interviewers bad Thai, it everything went very smooth. I am so glad it is over.

Thanks to everyone who made this board possible and who helped me along the way.

Good luck everyone!!!
