| Comments : |
We had a delay due to mix-up at the consular level. Pao received 221g for a divorce decree and for custody of her 7 year old daughter. The court in question could not locate the file for the decree, but had written a certified letter stating that while the decree could not be located, they did have a record that the divorce had been granted that was accepted by USCIS in lieu of an actual decree. After some argument, the Consular Official accpted the letter too. Regarding the custody issue, since the child was born out-of-wedlock they waived needing anything form Amphur regarding custody. 5 days after the interview she received her visa. The whole story is on the SAWASDEE2 thread in Fiance Visa General Discussion. The Thai staff at the US Embassy was not very nice, except for one lady named Goy who was very nice and helped us.
Since there's no space to add comments for the POE, I'll just add that the POE at LAX was very easy. I went through the line with Pao and her daughter and the immigration officer was very nice, just asked us when we were getting married and how much English she spoke :P |

I did not send copies of tax returns. The instructions list tax returns as an "example" of financial documents to send - I used the other examples. I also had afidavits from my neighbors. |

*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.
