I'm just back from Korat immigration with my 1 year extension of stay (Thai wife), I'm good now till 17/11/21. When I received my "under consideration" stamp, I was expecting the home visit but not expecting the need to have 2 neighbors present. These could not be relatives. They had to have their house books, ID cards and copies thereof. They were interviewed quite formally. My wife and I had to sit outside while the interview was in progress. But, all's well that ends well! Thanks again for all your collective help! Keep up the good work, as I'm sure I'll need your help again in the future.
