Thank you all for your quick responses. It is very much appreciated

When filling out the paperwork does my wife put in her name after the marriage or before the marriage?

Also what does under the current uscis status section?

Awesome. Thank you so much!

Hi all,

When applying for the adjustment of status if we want to fill out the i131 form to travel outside of the US does a seperate fee need to be paid for the i131 or does the AOS fee payment already cover the fee for the i131?

David has noom recieved his passport and packet yet? If so how long did it take?

Congrats!!! I hope we have the same result next monday

I cant wait to read about the details of the interview

Good luck david. Please provide us with a great story! I am leaving to bangkok this week and will be there sunday to attend my fiancees interview on monday. I hope we both pass with flying colors!

Thanks for providing this information David. I am worried about the vaccines and xray since my fiancee is pregnant. I am understanding that since she is pregnant shes cant perform a chest xray due to damage to the child. I wonder how that will work against her during the interview

Congrats! How did the interview process go?

Interview scheduled for the 12th! Yay. Let us know how it goes David!

we received packet 3 in the mail yesterday however still no interview date has been assigned

We have not received packet 3 either but my lawyer said he submits packet 3 already. Still no interview date for us

No update on my end. I see the file was touched on the 17th but still says ready

Anyone received an interview date yet or still says ready?

There are no children involved

Also when i look at my case on ceac it says the following as well

Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment. Additional information about how Immigrant Visa interview appointments are scheduled can be found at: http://nvc.state.gov/interview

Does anyones case on ceac show ready 3 times? I have 3 entries same case number but listed 3 times with sub numbers 01, 02, 03

what your lawyer is saying is completely different from everything I've been told...but I'm no expert! So I hope someone else will be able to offer an opinion. But I wrote to the Embassy last evening and had this reply this morning, which supports my earlier posting:

Dear Petitioner:

You fiancées Visa application is being transferred to our unit and is undergoing the initializing process. Once finished, we will mail the packet 3 instructions letter to the applicants mailing address.

While waiting for the package to arrive, the instructions can also be accessed on our website at: Packet 3 Instructions for K Visas (English | Thai)

The applicant must submit all required documents to the embassy by mail. Once received here, we will schedule an interview's appointment and the applicant will be notified of that and the next step of visa's application process.

Regards,

Immigrant Visa Unit

U.S. Embassy Bangkok

Thank you so much for this. I will be contacting my lawyer today to verify this response you received. I really appreciate it

I believe the way it works is like this: we respond to Packet 3 and the CO reviews what we submit. Then the Embassy sends an email regarding Packet 4, which includes the interview date and time. Several people on VJ have recommended to me that we don't have to wait to receive Packet 3 from the Embassy before we send in our documents. We can apparently do that at any point we are ready. Some people have said they never received Packet 3 (due to Post Office).

So just to be sure if packet 3 is not submitted the consulate will still give you an interview date am I correct? That is also what it says when i check my case on the CEAC website. My lawyer in bangkok also does K1 visas all the time and hes telling me that we dont have to submit packet 3 paperwork and the interview date will automatically be assigned. Im just reading everyone else submitting p3 paperwork so im starting to get conflicting information.

Welcome to Thailand thread! :-) God bless!

Hi! I am so sorry again regarding the confusion. Guess what I found out today? The Embassy said we can submit the Packet 3 Documents if we're ready but then they reminded that missing documents will cause delay in the visa process. I am just taking my time here and making sure that I have everything ready. Have you sent your documents yet?

No i havent. We are going to bring documents to the interview as advised by my lawyer. I am just waiting for the interview date so that we can schedule the medical.

Anyone know how long it takes for the consulate to issue an interview date after the case is in ready status?

I am confused. My lawyer in thailand said packet 3 doesnt matter and since the ceac case status shows ready we just wait for them to assign an interview date. I am looking on ceac and it clearly states an interview date will be provided by the embassy in thailand without the need to provide any further documentation.

Other reports on here are saying paperwork needs to be filled out and submitted for an interview date?

Oh, I am so happy for you. I wonder what happened to ours. :-(

Thank you. I think you will get a status change soon. I have a feeling.

Can we schedule interview already or do we need to receive packet 3 first?

Hi! Any news on your case yet? David and Noom's case already arrived at the embassy here! Yay! I hope ours are also in that bundle, God willing. :-)

My status also changed. It now says ready!

Any updates on in transit status changes for anyone? Mine still says in transit. Been almost a month now

For K1,Has anyone experience this before? Please help I had my interview last July 28 at manila embassy with no issues. No additional documents were asked from me. It's been 9 days but my status on Ceac website under non immigrant shows "NO STATUS" under Ceac website (immigrant) it shows case READY for interview but I already had my interview. It was never updated. My cgifederal says before "your passport is still at the US embassy" but it changed to "document delivery information"

Please enlighten me.. I'm so confused and worried

CEAC website is slow to update. If you have your interview and was told that your passport will be delivered to you then there is nothing to worry about. Also you are supposed to be looking under the immigrant link. Whether you passed the interview or not the fiancee is still coming as an immigrant.
