| Comments : |
Very smooth process, glad we were in a POE with not a lot of traffic.
Presented our passports (my US and my wife's Thai) to the customs agent along with the envelope from the embassy. He referred us to secondary processing to which I could join my wife.
In Secondary Processing, envelope was opened, we were asked if the mailing address was still the same, upon confirming they stamped my wife's visa and we were welcomed into the USA.
Total process around 5 minutes. |

| Embassy Review : |
Yesterday (February 1st), my wife has her interview at the Bangkok embassy. I came over to Thailand to support her, we went to the embassy together about 2 hours before her scheduled interview time.
She was allowed in early, and I waited outside. Seeing many people leaving the embassy with a 221g and unhappy faces all over I started to get worried, but an hour after the scheduled time, my wife came out with the biggest grin I ever say on het face .
She told me that the male interviewer at window 5 asked only 3 questions, where was I born, where was 1 of our pictures taken and do we have a child together (not yet). The 6kg of neatly organized papers were never even looked at or requested, they said that sufficient documents were already sent to NVC which forwarded them to the embassy. |

*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.
