had to come back to show proof of single status. Obtained and arrived back on Monday with prrof and given an index card that stated come pick up you Visa on Wednesday. Simple one we had the form. They we were stuck in Thailand for a week during the Coup!! What a nightmare... had to drive 30 hours by bus to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to get out of the country. Everybody is home and safe and happy! |

| Embassy Review : |
She had her interview.... only asked her a couple of questions... how did we meet, Where, how many times have I come to visit her? (7 times) They told her everything look good but they need proof that she is not married??? How do you proof a negative????? 
We had a great application... tons of proof...photos galore... I have a great job and plenty of money and was told by attorney that our app was one of the best he's see and that it would have been a slam dunk.. Not in this world!
They said they were surprised that she is 30 and not married yet. She also stated that the guy interviewing her was rude.
Now she has to travel back to her home village in Ubon Ratchathanee "on the other side of Thailand" about 8 to 10 hours away and ask her city hall to provide a letter of guarantee that she has not been married before. When she gets that she can come back on Monday or Wednesday and hopefully they will give her the visa and not ask her to come back in a couple of weeks after administrative review.
They even told her everything looked good.... SO FRUSTRATING!!!
I was told by my attorney in Bangkok that they only normally ask for proof of single when a child is involved but she also doesn't not have children.
Good luck everybody and don't take anything for grated when it comes to dealing with the US Embassy in Bangkok... Even when EXTREMELY diligent and and providing overwhelming amounts of proof and supportability.... they can and will through you a curve ball!
I think they had too many Visa to process that day and they decided to push her back a week to lighten their workload. However they are not taking in consideration the heartache and the hoops the applicants are having to jump through to make their dreams happen. All after waiting 6 months be with your loved one.
I'm done ranting.. Hope it has some use for someone.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!! |

*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.
