Robert,

Never did need to attach a photo to DS-156, still don't. Give them the photos, give them the form, they'll do any attaching.

The instruction provided for the police certificate in Thailand accurately reflects the police certificate situation in Thailand. (It wasn't all that long ago, 4 years maybe 5 at the most, that a police certificate was not required for Thailand because there was no such thing in Thailand.)

Yodrak

They gave her the shots according to the shot record since she had no prior shot record and they made a copy of the form for shots and gave the copy to her.

Dennis,

...

For all you veterans out there, I have maybe a silly question. Since we will turn in two passport photos along with the checklist and DS-230 Part I, do we still need to attach a photo to the DS-156 form?!

Also, I have a question concerning the Police Certificate. Most Consulates call for a Police Certificate from everywhere lived for more than 6 months since the age of 16. The Thai instructions just say go to the address there in Bangkok. Is that a "one size fits all" certificate for Thai citizens? Or will they ask where she has lived in Thailand, or does she need to request one for each place in Thailand that she's lived for an extended period?

Robert

HaHa

You are right Yodrac.. a real accurate reflection

Does anybody know what documents they need for the SS card??? I assume the passport with visa and I-94, thai Drivers liscense, and birth certificate is enough. Did anybody mail it in or just go to the local office?? Thanks to all!

skyman

be sure you go at least 14 days before your I-94 runs out or you will not get a SSN.

skyman,

Why assume when you can read the SS-5 instructions?

Mike,

I was aslo somewhat confused about what I thought Brent said.

If you compare the 'Packet 3" documents available for download from the BKK Embassy website, you will notice the K1 section does not have the DS-2053 available , but under the K3 section, well, there it is!!! Many of us have been searching all over the internet trying to locate this form, and her it is right under our noses!!!

Apparently, the DS-2053 was one of his missing forms.

What Brent explained was, in fact, correct.

Hello Visajourney friends,

Wi recieved a phone call from the Bangkok embassy today requesting to move her interview from March 17th to the 13th saying that they will not be giving interviews that day.

Also told her that they want to see her with all her papers and passport this Friday, The 3rd of March to review papers and to be ready to surrender her passport to them at that time until Visa is approved. This means she has two meetings. One for packet 4 and one for interview.

By the way, Wi downloaded all her medical forms from K3 list of forms from embassy site. The doctor had no problem using them.

This may be the new policy? Two meetings? I haven't heard of this being done yet. And am worried about surrendering her passport to them.

Any guesses about these requests from them?

Thank you,

Brent

Brent You said that she used the forms from the K3 list on the embassy web site BUT that is not what you said earlier

"Hello all,

Wi went to get her medical today. She was turned away for only having the three forms we downloaded from the Bangkok Embassy Site. She was told to return when she has all six forms that are provided for her in packet 3.

We still have not recieved packet 3 from the Embassy. The three forms she has is DS3024, DS3025 and DS3026 along with BKK-MEI (Instructions)

What 3 forms is she missing?"

whats up with this? YOU ARE THE ONE THAT PUT US ALL INTO A PANCK OVER THE FORMS FROM THE WEB SITE! I USED THE JAPAN FORMS BECAUSE YOU SAID THAT SHE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE HER MEDICAL...PLEASE EXPLAIN?

MIKE

And one more thing....

Although, I may have mentioned this before, the missing pages for both the DS3024 and DS3025 forms is only "The paper work reduction and privacy act notice". For some reason, the BKK Embassy does not include this page for download.

The 2nd page of the DS3026 from is an actual continuation of the form and the 'acts".

Of course I will be sure to include all 2nd pages, just in case.

"To apply for an original card, you will need to provide at least two documents to prove age, identity, ... and current lawful , work-authorized immigration status."

For AGE you can use the passport

For IDENTITY you can use the passport (but that would be considered the first document) so your next choice is a US Immigration Document - the K-1 Visa in the passport

For the authorized work status they can use the I-94 (the K-1 visa also helps to validate this)

a BIRTH CERTIFICATE cannot be used as evidence of identity, especially if they can't even read the language!

So, what did we take? Her passport with her K-1 Visa and her I-94. That was it.

and one more thing, if you want the SS card in her married name, take a certified copy of the marriage abstract or whatever it is called in your state.

How did you come up with the last CSC NOA2 date from NOA1 as 12/14?

The last date I see here on VJ is 11/28.

Am I missing something?

The USCIS website shows CSC is now processing applications dated 12/31, but I believe that is incorrect.

Tik goes for her medical at 8 am Thailand time on the first.. I will post up and let you guys know how it went. She has the 3 Bangkok Embassy forms and the new (not outdated one) thet came from the dept of state.

I hope everything is going well for everone and to those who have their Wife here I hope she is enjoying being with you in the USA..

Still waiting on the NOA 2 should not be to much longer last NOA 2 was from a NOA 1 of 12/14 mine was 12/21

I must get beck to work (watching Taxi (Thai music vcd) my favorite Thai band)

Mike,

I am not trying to put anyone in a panic. Just trying to help. Obviously the embassy has started a new process and we are the first applicants to go through it. There are some wrinkles in the new system that will be soon ironed out.

Wi did download the medical forms from the K1 first,,, and was denied seeing the doctor due to her missing some forms. So she downloaded the forms from the K3 section and went again,, where they did approve them. These are my statements

We did not recieve packet 3, we recieved only packet 4, which did not have the medical forms in them.

Now she has two meetings at the embassy. One to give the all required documents on March3rd and the final interview on March 13th.

These are facts. This is what we are going through now with the new process. Just thought you fellow Visajourney may want to know.

I apologize if I have created a panic to anyone who has read my posts.

Good luck to you all.

Brent

Sorry Brent.

I am the only person that is in a panic. I had the hospital fill out the forms from the Japan web site (DS3024, DS3025 and DS3026 ). I did not realize they are out of date and i am concerned (terrified!) that the CO will send us away because of it.

Any one have a suggestion on how to proceed?

Thanks

Mike
