Consulate Review: Bangkok, Thailand Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : May 1, 2014 Embassy Review : First of all after we sent in our packet 3 Phan received a phone call from the IV unit. When I had prepared the DS 160 I was unable to attach a photograph electronically. The instructions said to just hand carry a photo to the interview so I was not concerned. But they called Phan telling her they needed it attached and assisted her in attaching a photograph. They called her 3x! Once it was attached they asked what day in May she wanted her interview? So she said May 1. It all happened very fast. I am not sure if all the extra assistance was because of our expedite request or Congressional inquiry but it was amazing service, thank you Bangkok Embassy staff. Phan arrived very early and was 1st in line, the security guard laughed at her for being so early, around 530 am for 7 am appointment. Around 620 they took her papers and let her in. She was interviewed by two different people for only a short time each. First was a Thai lady who asked what my work was in Thailand and how we met basically in Thai. She waited a short time and was called to the window to speak with a plump red haired American lady. She asked questions in English only and Phan replied in English. Although she did ask her to speak slowly which the interviewer did with a smile. The discussion was basically about how her sister was doing. We had requested an expedite from USCIS due to her sisters condition with terminal cancer. Very easy questions and the interviewer was friendly and smiled. After just a few minutes she told Phan she was "Dee Jai duai" and she would receive her visa. A very good experience. Rating : Very 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.
