We arrived at the US Consulate about 530am and there were already 20 people lined up in 2 lines. The doors opened about 630am. After the security check we went straight into the double doors and stood in front of window #5 (we were 3rd in line). At about 645am, a Thai lady started to collect the visa applications. She took from us:
PO receipt (it has Poc's name on both receipts)
Passport
Birth Certificate (not translated)It was not the original, therefore the lady asked for her Thai ID and also House Registration (tabian Baan, also not translated)
DS-156 (2 copies but she returned one copy)
DS-156K
DS-156 BNK Supplement
DS-157
Police Certificate
Medical Exam/vaccination envelopes/documents, etc.
I-134 with supporting documents (letter from work w/business card of my boss attached, last 3 paycheck, 2003 W2 and Tax Transcripts, 2004 3rd QTR 401K statement, 2004 bank statements for savings acct)
We also gave her two 2x2 photos but the lady also returned it saying they already have the photos (I assume from the time Poc turned in the DS-230). Then after reviewing the documents the lady asked for Proof of relationship, we gave her about 20 photos, 8 emails, and photo copies of my flight stubs from the times I visited Poc.
At around 840am Poc was called up to window 7. We were interviewed by a falang male-very nice and professional guy, he asked Poc 2 questions in Thai:
Have you married before?
Do you have any children?
Then he asked me 6 questions:
Am I George?
Have I married before?
How did we meet?
Who introduced us?
How many times have I come and visited Poc?
Where do you work?
He returned all the proof of relations stuff, house registration and Thai ID and handed Poc a white card and said Jan 18th come back by 3pm to pick up Visa. 9am, we were in a taxi headed back to the hotel for some well needed rest.
