The consular who interviewed us was the same woman that I'd been emailing previously about our situation, and she was really great. We'd assembled a thick pile of documents and photos and joint bank accounts and ultrasounds of my pregnancy, so we waited from about 7:30 am or so for nearly 2.5-3 hrs., then they finally called my fiance's name. We both went up, and the consular was there with a female translator, and they had him sworn in and then I signed my affidavit of support in front of the consular, and they asked my fiance just one question about how we met. He gave a lengthy explanation in Thai about how we met at his home, since he built a skatepark there and I wanted to go skateboarding, and then the translator just replied "Skateboarding." "Skateboarding?" the consular asked., and then said, "Okay." Then she asked us how soon we could get my fiance's police clearance later. She felt bad we'd have to go back to Samui and then back to Bangkok again. She also said to tell the person at the desk to bring the document to her attention when we came back, and she'd help expedite the visa. So she said to bring it in on a Monday, and they could issue the visa the following Thursday. So a few weeks later we came back with the document, did that, and got the visa. The place was overrun by thai high schoolers all applying for their summer student visas that day, but the visa was ready, and we left for the USA two days later.
