I was approved from the DC embassy recently. Mine took just under 3 weeks. Yours is at 13 business days today. If there were any Thai holidays, it’s less than 13 days. You are probably getting close. Hang in there.

Mine took almost exactly 15 days to hear back about 3 weeks ago.

Then request for more docs took 48 hours.

I suspect you'll hear back pretty soon.

There's NO in person contact with the Thai Embassy in Washington DC, unless they request it. Which is unlikely to happen.

Be patient, you should learn of their decision before your planned flight ✈️.

USA approvals can take 4 weeks. You will most likely hear in good time for your Aug flight.
