ORIGINAL POSTER
I have a retirement extension of stay now and I am changing to a marriage extension of stay. My wife (Thai) and were married in the US over ten years ago. A translation service indicated that they would translate the documents and take them to the Thai consulate for thir stamp She said that a notarization of the documents by the US embassy was not needed. Is this correct? I would hate to go into immigration and not have the correct paperwork. Thanks in advance for the correct information. We live in the south and I'm trying to make this as easy as possible.
