Mike,

Me either - only my US banks charge a fee.

However, my wife has discovered that Siam Commercial Bank charges her 20 baht for using their ATM in Chiang Mai but no fee in Bangkok, where the account is.

Yodrak

skyman,

I guess it depends on what banks one uses. Costs me $1.50, and then only after using up 4 free transactions.

Yodrak

The ATM card trick is the way to go. You can even leave your own name on the card. I recomend calling her with the PIN though. Its about 6 bucks per transaction though so make it count. Good luck.

I have never paid a fee that i know of in Thailand at the ATM. The slip always says fee 0.00. The machine never discloses a fee during the transaction.

My fiance(e) got her Visa! She got it April 4. I started the process (NOA1) September 26, so about 6 & 1/2 months total going through CSC.

Thought I'd share my experience since I've learned so much from here...

Got to the Embassy at 7:45am and went in and checked in at window 5 with all of our paperwork. They seem to start the K-1 interviews when the clock hits 9am. We were about the 5th or 6th called to window 6. We we're interviewed by a well spoken falang about mid-thirties. He said hi to the both of us and asked her if she spoke english. She said yes and he continued writing stuff down. Then he asked her where she learned english, she then told him from school and reading alot. He asked where she was from and she told him Petchabun. He then continued writing more stuff down. Then he took a breath and directed his questions to her and asked where we met. Then asked me how many times I've come to see her and I said 5 times and he seemed a little shocked by that and told me that was 'dedication' and we laughed. That was it and told us to come back the next day at 3pm and pick it up. Seemed very nerve racking but was pretty easy in the end.

I got her birth certificate translated the next day at one of those shops down the road on the corner of wireless and sukhumvit for 200 baht and now I'm ready to head home with her and get married and start the AOS process

As many of you know Su passed her interview back on Feb 7th with Jum. She was waiting for the xrays and Dr reports before she could be cleared and given the Visa. Well after two months of emotional pain and several trips to the Dr and some meds I am happy to report everything is fine. The Dr will be sending the report to the Embassy and we will finally get our visa. :dance::dance::dance:

So if anyone else has a problem like this don't worry have faith and every thing will work out. I know it will be hard, because you can not get answers right away but let the Dr do his or her job and give it time.

We had an infopass appoint this morning for Dao's EAD, she is beyond 90 days.

Long story short, no temp ead because the real ead is already approved pending biometrics. Unfortunately when we went for biometrics on 2/17 she had a cut on her finger and they were unable to be captured. We were told to re-schedule. Two months later we will go for her re-scheduled biometrics appointment next week., and were told we should receive her EAD card 1 to 2 weeks after that.

It really irks me that my wife will have been in the country for 5 months, not allowed to work, yet they want to allow illegal aliens to be "guest workers". hmmm.... oh well, here is not the place for a political discussion.

i'm sorry to hear that... I think i was in the same position but they gave me the temp EAD because they havnt sent me any biometric letter... my EAD was approved even before my infopass but they were late on sending the biometri appointment so they have to give it to me.. that's my guess anyway. And after my infopass and my temp EAD.. my real EAD arrived 1 week after that (with a whole lot better picture on it YEY)

Today is my first day back at work.. everybody seems to miss me and happy that i'm back!! yey.... i'm happy to be working too (well.. just an easy job but at least get paid! ) wil see if i missed the free time :whistle:

My fiance(e) got her Visa! She got it April 4. I started the process (NOA1) September 26, so about 6 & 1/2 months total going through CSC.

Thought I'd share my experience since I've learned so much from here...

Got to the Embassy at 7:45am and went in and checked in at window 5 with all of our paperwork. They seem to start the K-1 interviews when the clock hits 9am. We were about the 5th or 6th called to window 6. We we're interviewed by a well spoken falang about mid-thirties. He said hi to the both of us and asked her if she spoke english. She said yes and he continued writing stuff down. Then he asked her where she learned english, she then told him from school and reading alot. He asked where she was from and she told him Petchabun. He then continued writing more stuff down. Then he took a breath and directed his questions to her and asked where we met. Then asked me how many times I've come to see her and I said 5 times and he seemed a little shocked by that and told me that was 'dedication' and we laughed. That was it and told us to come back the next day at 3pm and pick it up. Seemed very nerve racking but was pretty easy in the end.

I got her birth certificate translated the next day at one of those shops down the road on the corner of wireless and sukhumvit for 200 baht and now I'm ready to head home with her and get married and start the AOS process

Congratulations

As many of you know Su passed her interview back on Feb 7th with Jum. She was waiting for the xrays and Dr reports before she could be cleared and given the Visa. Well after two months of emotional pain and several trips to the Dr and some meds I am happy to report everything is fine. The Dr will be sending the report to the Embassy and we will finally get our visa. :dance::dance::dance:

So if anyone else has a problem like this don't worry have faith and every thing will work out. I know it will be hard, because you can not get answers right away but let the Dr do his or her job and give it time.

Fantastic Ray

I am gald everything has worked out fine

We had an infopass appoint this morning for Dao's EAD, she is beyond 90 days.

Long story short, no temp ead because the real ead is already approved pending biometrics. Unfortunately when we went for biometrics on 2/17 she had a cut on her finger and they were unable to be captured. We were told to re-schedule. Two months later we will go for her re-scheduled biometrics appointment next week., and were told we should receive her EAD card 1 to 2 weeks after that.

It really irks me that my wife will have been in the country for 5 months, not allowed to work, yet they want to allow illegal aliens to be "guest workers". hmmm.... oh well, here is not the place for a political discussion.

i'm sorry to hear that... I think i was in the same position but they gave me the temp EAD because they havnt sent me any biometric letter... my EAD was approved even before my infopass but they were late on sending the biometri appointment so they have to give it to me.. that's my guess anyway. And after my infopass and my temp EAD.. my real EAD arrived 1 week after that (with a whole lot better picture on it YEY)

Today is my first day back at work.. everybody seems to miss me and happy that i'm back!! yey.... i'm happy to be working too (well.. just an easy job but at least get paid! ) wil see if i missed the free time :whistle:

I am happy to see you are back to work. Someday you will remember those free(non-working) days as the "good old days" :D

I will be in Thailand in exactly 14 days......Boy i can hardly wait!

Mike

I have been reading about the AOS procedure. I figure i have everthing i need for the process except the I-693A. I undestand that i should just take it to a civil surgeon and have them fill transfer the inormation form the DS-20XX vaccination form. Is this something that can be done in Thailand from the list of doctors that could do the K1 medical? Seems like it would be alot easier to get it done there.
