Your fiancé's K-1 visa interview at the US Embassy in Bangkok will focus primarily on verifying the legitimacy of your relationship and your fiancé's eligibility for the visa. Typical questions asked recently in these interviews include:

About the Thai fiancé(e):

Personal details such as full name, nationality, birthday, age, education, languages spoken

Previous travel history, especially visits to the US

Past marriages or children

Employment and background details

Any criminal history

About the US fiancé(e):

Information about you (the petitioner), including your life, work, and background

About your relationship:

How and where you met

Dating history

Future plans together to confirm the authenticity of your relationship

About the planned wedding and marriage:

When and where the wedding will take place

Wedding reception plans and guest list

Any pre-marriage celebrations

Honeymoon plans

Assurance that you will marry within 90 days of entry to the US

Your fiancé should be prepared to answer these questions truthfully and confidently. The interview typically lasts 20-30 minutes, with around 10-20 questions. The American fiancé (you) cannot attend the interview, but sometimes an attorney may accompany the applicant for support.

It's important your fiancé brings all required documents, attends a medical exam prior to the interview, and arrives on time at the embassy. The US Embassy in Bangkok usually processes K-1 visa approvals within about a week after a successful interview.

My wife went through it in 2017 in Bangkok and said it wasn’t bad at all. They’re trying to trip the scammers up, but if you’re honest you should be fine.

It's going to be different for everyone, and will be partially based on what you submitted as part of your original application. If they asked everyone the same questions, people would just study those questions. There's a ton of youtube videos online about the process and the interview.

Just make sure your fiance goes to the correct place. It's actually across the street from where Google Maps shows the embassy, in the other compound.
