Consulate Review: Bangkok, Thailand Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : August 21, 2014 Embassy Review : My wife had her appointment today at the US Embassy in Bangkok. She was unable to sleep and almost didn't make the interview due to not being able to get a taxi and bad traffic...when she finally got there (she said that the taxi driver drove like James Bond), a line was already out the door and down the road. She was informed that she didn't have the correct documentation forms for where to mail the visa...apparently the system "just" changed and we needed this form (no longer buy envelope ate counter...only half the people knew about the changes). She made a mad rush to go find a computer nearby the Embassy, found the form, filled it out and printed it...then returned to the horrendous line. She was finally allowed entry to the embassy and waited for her interview. She was SUPER nervous being that the 5 people in front of her all were REJECTED. When it was finally time, she was asked basic questions (i.e. when was the last time you saw each other...etc.), and that was it! APPROVED! She said overall they were pretty nice to her. They told her that they would mail the visa to her in 1-2 weeks. We were a little worried as her ticket is on the 28th but we just received it today! Now I have to pay some over fee online... javascript:emoticon('') 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.

** Not all cases are transfered
