ORIGINAL POSTER

I got my DTV today from the Chicago consulate. Applied for remote work and gave letter from company, license as proof of location and my most recent bank statement. It took 8 days. I called them since there had been no update and I was told it can take up to three weeks. I asked if there was any way they could process mine faster and they said they would try. An hour later they emailed asking for my resume, I uploaded it and less than two hours later my visa was issued!

Can you tell me the total amount in your bank that was submitted. While the site says $16k, one of the personnel on the phone told me $15k. I'm not sure which is correct.

I have over $60,000 in mine. You are only required to have equivalent of ฿500,000.

Why doesn’t people read the visa section on the website of the Embassy / Consulate, they will apply at.

that’s great but I wanted it faster. I also have over a decade experience dealing with the Chicago consulate and they never seem to get anything done until you call them.

I got mine done at the Chicago consulate also. I was getting worried myself because I will travel soon but without calling it ended up being only 9 days for me. It stayed in pending document check the whole time with no update straight to approved.
