Consulate Review: Bangkok, Thailand Review Topic: Direct Consular Filing Event Description Review Date : October 2, 2011 Embassy Review : My wife went alone to the interview as I returned to the U.S. 2 months ago, so everything I know is from what she told me. She was the 2nd interview of the day, and it began at 10:10 and finished at 10:30. The interviewer went through some of the normal questions: How did you two meet? When do you plan to go to the U.S.? etc. Then came a bit of confusion as the interviewer started to ask why my wife's name was slightly different from her birth certificate to her national I.D. There is one small difference between the two and it was a Thai government mistake, which we thought we had rectified because we had a translated explanation from the Thai government. The lady said my wife needed to have an AR-14? I think. Well the lady ended up just working past this and continued on with the interview, and said my wife will be approved. My wife came back a few days later and picked up her visa. My said the lady was not very friendly and other than the questions about the AR-14 barely bothered to even look up from the paperwork at my wife. My wife said having good English probably helped her out a lot. Other than the really long wait time between submitting packet 3 and the interview overall it was less of a hassle and difficult than it first appeared to be when we started the process. Rating : Good

*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.
