Consulate Review: Bangkok, Thailand
Review Topic: K1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : October 16, 2009
Embassy Review : My fiancee went for the interview as planned on Oct 14th, but the interviewer was sick. They took her documents and the Thai local embassy staff were pretty aggresive and unhelpful. Our lawyer had apparently mailed the original documents and embassy staff did not bother to look in the files. He just asked my fiancee for them and refused to take the copies she had with her. He also refused to take her pictures in the photo album of relationship evidence that we had prepared, told her to remove just 20 of them, then later relented and gave the pictures back to be reinserted in the album while he impatiently waited. They rescheduled everyone who lived in Bangkok for an interview the next afternoon. The people who came from out of town were apparently allowed to stay and interview with a different consular officer.

When she returned the next afternoon, the document issue had apparently been resolved. The woman CO asked her to swear her oath in Thai and took her biometrics, then switched to English for the interview. The questions included where did you meet your fiance, how many trips did he take to visit you. She was approved and done in only about 5 minutes. Since the new interview was on a Thursday, she was asked to come back at 3pm on Monday to pick up the visa.

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
