It's been 1 month and 6 days...

This sucks. I applied to the New York embassy on Nov 6, on the 26th I changed to 'Pending Approval' and now it's Dec 11 and nothin has changed. How long is this going to take?!

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is frustrated with the lengthy processing time of their visa application submitted to the New York embassy, noting it has been over a month without any updates after changing to 'Pending Approval'. Community members have shared their experiences with visa wait times, suggestions for contacting the embassy, and the possibility of delays due to social media history checks.

Got them to respond via email and FB post. They took about 45 days with mine to. They literally approved mine the night before my flight to Bangkok.

Does the NY embassy have LineID contact? I know the LA office has one and I was able to reach out to them to check especially after 15 working days.

Have they requested 5 years Social Media history yet to ensure no disparaging posts about Thailand in your history? :-) Have you ever complained about double pricing? Made remarks about Thai driving?
