Question about the $100.00 for the Post Office.

In Bangkok for our interview on Wednesday and just returned from the Post Office.

The Post Office asked for 3600BHT.

Our paperwork seems to indicate that we should pay $100.00USD.

We paid the 3600BHT.

What gives?

If we are supposed to pay in Baht like we did for the medical than it should be spelled out in Packet 3.

If the local Post Office is supposed to accept my new crisp 100.00 dollar bill than shame on them.......

Consider yourself lucky! Last September my mother in law in Thailand paid for her Application fee for a B2 visitor's visa and also it stated to pay the $100.00 at any post office listed. So in the Sakhon Nakhon post office, they charged 4000 Baht! :yes: I don't think the Thai Post Office would accept USD currency!

Good Luck with the interview!

We also paid 3600 thb for Rin's children this week. When Rin had her interview in April it was 3800. The US Embassy fixes an exchange rate and uses it for several months. Whenever the currency moves, they readjust (although never to the actual level since it is more like 34 thb per usd now).

The children had their K4 interview today. Got to the Embassy at 7 am for their appointment, turned in their paperwork then waited for three and a half hours. The interviewer (a younger American lady) only asked one question (she asked Rin if the children were her natural-born children - although the birth certificates clearly indicated it). They were approved and we can pickup their visas on Thursday. So all is set for them to return to the US with us on the 12th!

Its just a document which states/proves that your Thai fiancee has never been married. From what I have heard, man Thai people who have never been married, have to provide this document at the time of interview now.

We went to the local Amphur in my wife's hometown (Chiang Mai) She requested it and they provided it right on the spot. It was quite easy for her to get. I don't think there was any charge...but I can't really remember that part...

Peace!

I filed on May 24 (136 days) and am still waiting for my NOA2. The current wait time is around 140 days give or take. Many are at 150 days. We are hoping all May filers get approved this month. Unless USCIS gets moving, I would expect that you will not get an NOA2 until sometime next month. Good luck!
