We are still waiting for some translations to come back so we can mail to the embassy. It was his birth certificate, name change and some court records that they wanted in more detail. We had both the BC and name change approved by CEAC already, but they wanted an original of the BC. I think many Thais would be in the same situation as they don't have the computer records from their births it is literally just a piece of paper from the clinic that has been copied for years. We had to go back to the town he was born and get another registered copy of it. Hopefully you all don't have any of the same issues. Good luck!

Well didn't go as planned. They sent him home with a bunch of documents they wanted mailed and uploaded again to the site. Some that were already there and approved on the CEAC site. They also asked for my 2022 W2s or paystub which might be helpful for you all to provide that to your applicant. I already had income tax information and stubs approved already. The total interview took about 30 mins with a few questions about when and where we met, when we got married and if he knew were I lived in the US. They asked for pictures of us and our son which I also had uploaded on CEAC. They kept the paperwork that was accepted along with his passport and provided a checklist of files we need to send/upload. Just not sure how long this will take for them to acknowledge my files. I sent an email, but as it is already the weekend there and holiday Monday I doubt I will hear from them until later next week. Frustrating and feeling defeated again since you get DQ, but than still need more documents Wish I had better news to report, but he did say they were nice and helpful, but spoke really fast for him.

My husbands is tomorrow! Just finally cleared his medical and after having to reschedule our initial interview we are hopeful this will be the final step. 2 years and counting since we initially submitted our package!

Hi Matt, It does seem odd for that wait time bc my husband was DQd on Sept 2 and we received the instructions for interview by the end of the month. We have been in the process for 2 yrs so I have sympathy for you both. Sorry I can't be of much more help, but sometimes knowing there are others in the same situation helps. Janine
