Fiance went for interview aproximately 1.5 weeks ago. Arrived at 5:30am was first in line. First to interview.
Western male did interview in Thai. Did not ask if preferred in English.
Fiance did not have birth certificate (in US passport serves same function for identification- not so at US Consulate)
Interviewer in particular paid attention to photos and Skype timeline/chat logs. (we video Skype twice daily) He also asked for additional proof of relationship (which she had with her but was so nervous that she forgot she had)
She was not granted visa but was given form that outlined what she needed to provide and address to mail to via registered mail.
Overall she said he acted as though he wanted to grant visa but she failed to meet all requirements on that day.
She made a trip back to her village and local amphur to get copy of birth certificate and then mailed all documents back to Embassy. We (im) patiently wait....
Interviewer in particular made much to do with other applicants over having copies of birth certs instead of originals but according to my fiance copies rather than originals is more common. He did grant at least one visa with a non original birth cert that day.
