Finally got my non-b from Nakhon Pathom immigration. I went in to get it and they put me into the investigation room. I sat there and played with my phone for half an hour then the investigator came in and signed. I feel relieved after having get my diploma certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

, Yeah, the US consulate won't certify stuff like that. They just have you fill out the blank affidavit with the information you need and then they notarize your name was at the top of the form and you signed it in front of them ;)

Masters degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. Should have been a breeze but was a real nightmare with having to take them to the U.S. Embassy to get them certified but they only would have me sign an affidavit attesting that I had graduated on dates indicated. Fortunately the Ministry of Foreign Affairs accepted that and have me the necessary stamp.

A talent that is rare and cannot be done by locals wins you a WP. Either by qualification ( read degree) or by relevant work exp.

Ahh that's good to know. Many of my friends from states have completed only GED, they will be happy to hear that.

Ya , why not ? Degree is not mandatory to get a Non B if you can prove your past track record to MOL ( that being done by yr employer actually).

We've got a difference in Englishes here. In the U.S. a diploma is a piece of paper you get finish a school -- high school, college/university, masters, doctorate, etc.

That said, the qualifications required for a job are really different from place to place in Thailand. In Bangkok you have to be Good -- very Good -- lucky or connected. Many foreigners want to be in our around Bangkok so competition is fierce. A project manager-engineer friend is teaching English in a small place in northern Thailand and he's by far the best one there. He says half the other "teachers" are not teachers and some can't speak English. They just have a foreign face.

I suggest that you look for work as a cyber security spook in outlying cities, learn to enjoy Thai provincial life for a few years, get a name as being Good, reliable and honest, then move into a job in a tougher market. I'd say it would take 3 to 5 years to build a good reputation unless you're absolutely brilliant.
