Computers went down as we entered the queue causing what I'm certain were unusual delays. About 2-3 hours to make our way through immigration to baggage claim / customs. All personnel were extremely friendly to both of us -- congratulated us on several different occasions. |

Consulate Review: Bangkok, Thailand
Review Topic: K1 Visa

Description |
| Review Date : |
February 1, 2008 |
| Embassy Review : |
Everything went so smoothly; only 3 basic questions as our paperwork was perfect and no outstanding issues: 1) Where did you meet your fiance? 2) When did you meet your fiance? 3) How many times has your fiance been to Thailand to see you? THAT'S IT!
Scene at the Embassy's a bit crazy until you get inside the air conditioned area. Unfortunately there are no signs instructing Immigrant Visa Applicants to proceed to the front of the line for entry through security screening, but one of the staff members walked down the line and told everyone holding x-rays that they could move ahead (much to the chagrin of the non-immigrant applicants who'd been waiting for some time!) and avoid the huge wait outside the Embassy walls. Once inside you just keep moving until you're inside in the air con -- proceed to window 5 and give them your complete file. Once they verify all is there you have a seat and wait for your name to be called. All in all we arrived at 7 a.m. and were out of there before 9:30! |

Timeline Comments: None yet, be the first!
*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.
