Consulate Review: Bangkok, Thailand

| Embassy Review : |
Arrived early lots of people in line for other types of visas, a few other K1's, maybe 5 or 6. They go to front of line, once they get a card from the ACS staff. May was in there about 4 hours, I stood outside and saw the other K1 applicants leaving about 30 minutes apart. Some did not look too happy and they had their passports in hand, surely a denial was handed to them. May finally came out about 11:15. Approved!!! She said the man asked her only about 4 or 5 questions in Thai as he paged through the big pile of evidence.
I have to give credit to Siam Legal for helping both of us out with this process. It is complex and somewhat convoluted. They do a very good service and are quite helpful in coordinating things.
Some other info about our case, I am quite fortunate to have had the opportunity to spend 2 months in Thailand with May while we waited for USCIS to
approve the petition. We also had a pile of evidence because we talk every single day, and send each other many many sms messages every day as well.

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
