Hi folks -

First, congrats to Mark-N-AAm on your successful interview! That's great news - best wishes!

Afterforever - looks like things are going well - hang in there and good luck on getting an interview date as soon as possible.

Regarding birth certificate translations/issues - my fiancee and I had a number of questions - her grandparents were actually listed as her parents on her birth certificate. We are working with a local (Bangkok) immigration attorney who got everything in order for us for our original I-129F packet submission - whatever he did worked, as we had no problems with the submitted package.

In fact, I just received word today that our packet 3 has arrived. My fiancee will be signing the necessary paperwork tomorrow, and working with our lawyer's office to get the Police and Medical paperwork taken care of in the next couple of weeks. We're hoping for an interview date in the first half of January. Very exciting!

Heyx2rr, glad to see everything is moving along. Maybe we will have our interview on the same day. Good luck!!

Received an email from the embassy in Thailand. Our interview date is January 14th at 7:00 AM. I will be leaving to Thailand on January 6th. I cannot believe this part of the journey is almost over. I cannot wait to see my baby again. It will be six months since we last were together but it seems like a life time.

Does anybody know of a good place to stay near the embassy, so we can get there quickly on the interview day?

Good luck to everybody!!! :thumbs:

The Meridien is about one block, if that, from the embassy. I haven't stayed in it, but I have stayed in one down south and they are amazing!

Afterforever - that's great news! Glad to hear your interview date is confirmed. 7am?!? Wow, the Embassy starts the day early. Good luck!

We should have our interview request in at the beginning of this week, and we're looking forward to getting the date confirmed as well.

Spent a good portion of the day today preparing and starting on repainting the inside of my house - want to make sure everything is looking great! Ha!

Keep us posted!

Heyx2rr, we originally were given an interview date of December 21st but I was not able to get to Thailand that quickly, so I requested January 14th. I was shocked that they granted my request. They received my packet 3 on December 4th and gave us our original interview date on December 6th. You may have an interview before I do, if they receive your packet 3 soon. Good luck!

we are trying to bring my wife's daughter here on a k2 and we are trying to do this from the usa. we are wondering if anyone's had the embassy accept the packet 3 checklist without the photos and passport page.

just wondering.

thanks,

Great news and congrats to all as we all near that finish line (or is it the starting line?). I just hung up with NVC and found that they sent our file to Bangkok TODAY -- 12/12 -- and have assigned us a case number. Fortunately I'm in Bangkok as I type this, so I'll be meeting with our attorney Monday and finalizing everything. As many of you have said, I can't believe we're almost there! :thumbs:

Afterforever, thanks for the insight into the timing of the scheduling of your interview. We ended up getting our interview request filed last Tuesday - so I'm hoping that we hear back this coming week and get an interview date assigned before xmas week defers a response to the beginning of January. Our attorney believes that the interview date will likely be at the end of January, but I'm still hoping for earlier.

Tuesday was a busy day for my fiancee. She signed all the necessary paperwork at our attorney's office, went to the Police station to get the police report initiated, went to the hospital and took care of the medical exam and vaccine shots, then brought the paperwork from the hospital back to our attorney's office before they closed. Needless to say, she was exhausted by the time she got home that evening - but she was happy to have successfully taken care of so much so quickly.

Hope everyone is doing well and that things continue to progress smoothly for those of us who are nearing the end of this long process.... almost there!

Great news, ThaiStyleUSA! Your fiancee should be receiving the package from the Embassy soon. I hope things continue to go well for you and that we all have Visas approved by the end of January. After all of this waiting, it's exciting seeing these last few steps lining up....
