Interview questions were initially easy. Where did you meet?, when?, how many times I visited? and then they started in on a really strange tangent and they asked for more information. a) documents for name change after a divorce and before the new Thai ID card was re-issued with her previous maiden name. b) Documents for my divorce.
Problem: a)Nat ID card name changes after divorce from married name back to maiden name can happen without std forms and receipts and thus are not available. b) I was never married! and thus I can't supply divorce papers! Amazing.
They gave us a white slip of paper stating the problems above (form 221) and said to come back next Monday between 1 and 3pm with these documents in order to receive an OK for the Visa.
Big Note: you don't have to necessarily wait for the next Monday or Wednesday. It is possible to go back on ANY Monday or Wednesday from 1 to 3 pm to resolve problems with paperwork. Form 221 states... read complete review

The embassy was in flux this spring, and apparently had stopped issuing interview appointments for about 6 weeks. We finally had the interview scheduled for Jun 29 at 8am. Showed up about 1 hour early. There was some confusion about the file - they could not locate the receipt for fee payment $131, which had been mailed in with the Packet 3 as instructed. They were going to send her out to the post office to get a duplicate receipt of payment, and have her come back another day. However they eventually "found" the missing receipt. After that it went smoothly. Routine questions - how did we meet? when? what was my job? when was I last in Thailand? why had I not visited since? did she know I was divorced, and had children? Visa was approved, and ready for pickup 2 days later on July 1.

We got there at 7:30 am for an 8:00 am appointment. The security people would not allow me to stand outside with Puy in the line. I went to Starbucks. Puy had a good experience with the interview. The security people who oversee the doorway s**k.
Consistent with recent reviews, the interviewer was a Thai woman who was pleasant but not cordial. She only asked three or four of the standard questions. She asked when Puy had last seen me, Puy said "today" and the woman said "That's good." Visa approved.  Some of the other applicants were not so fortunate, they were missing documents and told to come back in a week.
I understand the need to prevent terrorists from attacking the embassy, but the security people evidently take being officious way too seriously. They should post a list of the 20 or 30 rules that seem to apply on the sidewalk outside. Don't bother trying to wait within 100 yards of the door.

She kept asking my fiancee that we look like we prepare for the interview because of all the evidence and how well it was prepared ( good job baby!). I guess since we had very short time we know each other before I propose ( about a month) and we know each other only 9 months.
She had a 8:30am appointment and she arrived early at 6:40. She was let in after only a few minutes and did not have to wait outside. She gave embassy staff at window 5 at 7 am, her documents and evidence, but they did not take her chat logs ( big folder they told her to give later). Then she sat and waited. So had to wait until 8:30, then they started calling people, she was third. The first person had interview lasting 20 min and got the visa. The second person was only 8 min and not sure if she got visa. Then it was my fiancee turn.
They took her fingerprints and started the interview:
1. How did you meet your fiancee? ==> We met online
2. What website did y... read complete review

 Well Pon was a bit nervous, but well prepared. We had a 7AM appointment we showed up 30 minutes early, she was taken right in, I waited at Starbucks....
She was asked the standard questions by the new lady, Pon sid she was very nice. She was the 4th interview.
#1 Had to go to the Hospital to pick up records, and was told to come right back. #'s 2 and 3 got a yes and it was qiuckly her turn.
She was asked:
1 Where did you meet?
2 How many times did he come see you?
3 What job did you have when you first saw Mike?
4 What type of food do you cook?
5 When are you going to America?
That was it then she got the white slip and out the door.... We picked up the Visa 2 days later, and Pon and I flew on the 4th of July...
Overall the entire experence was ok and painfree except for the AP @ NVC part... Embassy did a great job and asked fair questions. They never looked through the paperwork in front o... read complete review
