Hello again! Got my husband and daughter approved for their DTV’s as dependents via the Washington DC embassy.
Here is my original post for when I got approved:
[members only]/?
September 6 - submitted their applications
September 23rd - requested my marriage certificate, passports of both mother and father, and flight itinerary with all of our names on it.
I had already submitted our marriage certificate but I guess they missed it so I resubmitted.
I had already submitted my passport but I resubmitted with mine and my husbands.
I had already submitted the flight itinerary so I resubmitted.
Our situation was a little crazy. We are taking our dogs with us and our original flight was Tuesday, September 24th. Dogs got denied boarding (story for a different time), and so we had to rebook our flights to tonight, September 27th.
September 24th - my husbands visa got approved but we didn’t hear back about my daughters visa.
September 25th - request for more info for our daughter. They wanted an updated flight itinerary because they “can’t approve a visa for anyone currently in Thailand” because according to our original itinerary we were already there. I resubmitted our updated itinerary and wrote a kind cover letter explaining what happened and then something to the effect of, “My visa and my husbands visa have been approved already. I appreciate the expedited nature of this application for my daughter so she has no trouble entering with us.”
Hers was approved later that day.
I borrowed money from my mom to have the full $32k in my account for their applications as I wasn’t able to get a clear answer as to if each applicant needed their own 500,000 baht.
For all three of our applications, DC took from 12-16 business days to process.
On our way to the Houston airport to move! ✌️✌️
