Anyone have any idea how long the process is for a thai female to get approved or denied for a tourist visa to the US? Any recommendations as to the best way to approach this?
Answer summary
The length of the process for a Thai female to get a US tourist visa largely depends on the availability of interview appointments at the embassy. After booking an appointment, the approval or denial occurs during the interview itself. Some applicants may face delays of several months for appointments, and experiences vary widely; even well-prepared individuals may be denied without clear reasons.

As others have said you are approved or denied at the interview stage which you book online. Open appointments are likely several months out. You can book the interview before filling out and submitting the DS160 online. Book the earliest one as soon as you can. You can fill out the paperwork after. Then check every day to see if an earlier appointment opens up, as they often do.
Just be prepared to be denied. I have heard from several people that have been rejected and the will not even tell you why. My gf was rejected and she has a house, a farm and two sons in Thailand. Never even looked at her paperwork. Asked about five questions and gave her a slip of paper saying basically no.
