Our appointment was at 7:45 a.m. in San Francisco. We arrive at 7:55 a.m. and were done and out of the building by 8:30 a.m. This was, so far, the easiest step of all process. It took us longer to go through metal detector check then the whole interview. The officer asked us how we met and just look at our pictures. "Sign here", "temporary green card will arrive in a few weeks", "don't forget to apply for permanent card 30 days before May 6, 2010", "can apply for the Citizenship 3 years from now". |

Consulate Review: Bangkok, Thailand

| Embassy Review : |
It was very uneventful interview in Bangkok. Arrived at 6:30 am. Got inside at 6:45 am. Guard does not allow to bring cell phones or laptops inside. Submitted paperwork to window #5. Sit and wait till 10 am. A lot of people inside applying for a variety of visas. Only one clerk appeared to be working on K1/3 visas. There were 2 couples with kids and one single woman. At least one couple got the visa, the rest I could not tell. Interviewer spoke broken Thai. My fiancé had a hard time understanding his questions. Her English is way better then his Thai. I have no idea why didn’t he just ask her in English. Questions: How did you meet your fiancé? Where did you meet your fiancé? How many times your fiancé visited Thailand? Where does he lives? He asked me some meaningless questions and it was over. Oh yes, he fingerprinted my fiancé as well. “Return to pick up visa day after tomorrow at 3 p.m.”
Over all, besides a 3 hour wait and interviewers bad Thai, it everything went very smooth. I am so glad it is over.

*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.
