Consulate Review: Bangkok, Thailand
Review Topic: K1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : December 7, 2011
Embassy Review : Well i have to say her interview went fairly smooth. Her interviewer was very kind and helpful. She said there wasn't as many questions as she prepared for. The interviewer thoroughly reviewed our emails and only made a comment about a recent disagreement we had over skype. He was very impressed with the way she tailored her evidence. I can't stress enough how important it is to make sure your evidence is in order. Also, if you mention you and your fiancee/fiance have been dating for 5 years, make sure you have the evidence. She said 2 girls mentioned they were dating their boyfriends for 5 years, but only brought evidence for 3. If you don't have evidence going back to the year you first started dating, I suggest you don't mention it.

During her time in the embassy she noticed how rough the interviewers can be with the interviewees. Just keep in mind they are trained to be that way. They want you to feel uncomfortable. Their job is to catch inconsistencies with your story. They might ask the same question twice, but phrased differently. Remember how you answer, think about your answers, and stay composed. ALWAYS look them in the eye when you can. Take deep breaths before getting to the window, greet them with a smile, and always say YES/NO. NO SLANG ie...yeah or nah.

Oh, BTW...make sure you eat before you go. Unless you are a professional interviewer you will have butterfly's in your stomach. An empty stomach and butterfly's will most likely make you feel very uncomfortable.

This will be my last post on Visajourney and i want to thank everyone who gave support and advise. It helped me through this long and tiring process. Good luck to all and I wish everyone great success with their future endeavors.

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.

** Not all cases are transfered
