Embassy lost Packet 3!

My fiancee EMSed all her documents, but now the consulate says they are missing passport photo, checklist and passport copy! If I hadn't emailed them, we would never have known they had lost this paperwork!

In our case, everything was in the same packet, but the consulate says it only received DS-230 (part I)

How do you ask about if they received the paperwork? What I mean is when writing the email what should you put in subject line case number etc?? My attorney sent in our paperwork should I have my attorney ask? I hope that this isnt common!

Does anyone know if interviews have been delayed because of the troubles in Bangkok?

Good luck..

Not correct. Your fiancee is the applicant and you are the petitioner.

something happen....hopefully he will tell them to go home and quit their #######.....

I don't see why the king doesn't do anything now.. He's letting the people ruin his land and he's letting the country look bad in front of the whole world.

I got a reply from the embassy it says.....Thank you for your inquiry. As of December 2, 2008, the IV Unit of the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok has not yet received the case BNKxxxxxxxxxx from NVC. If NVC has already transferred your case to Bangkok please allows some weeks for the case to be transferred to us in both physical and electronic files. Once we have the case in the system, we will notify the applicant by mail regarding further steps of visa application process.

How long it would take to transfer the case from NVC to the embassy?

Well I got response back and have interview date on the 16th. Now I have to decide do I wait a couple days and wait to book travel to Bkk, or come through Laos or Cambodia? Very important question for all?? Can my girl leave with me out of Laos or Cambodia with no problem as long as she has Usa visa stamp?

Thanks...

PPP and Somchai is out, It should take a week for the airports to operate again.

Who knows? Apparently it's completely OK in Thailand to occupy the international airport when you don't like the government. Maybe the PPP will take a turn now...
