ORIGINAL POSTER
Reported on December 2 to pick up my extension of stay based on Thai spouse. The approval had not arrived by then and we are still waiting. We were told immigration was very busy and they would get in touch with us when it arrived. We are still waiting. Any one else in this situation? We go to the Nakhon Ratchasima office. I believe the gentleman was a volunteer. My passport is from the US.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user reported waiting for the approval of their extension of stay based on being married to a Thai spouse, which they submitted on December 2. They were informed that the immigration office was busy and that they would be contacted once the approval arrived. Other commenters suggested visiting the immigration office directly to speak with an officer, using social media for updates, and contacting them via phone regularly to ensure their case remains on their radar.

Totally NOT unheard of that the under consideration is taking longer and I wouldn't worry about it BUT I would contact them via phone to check every couple of days to keep it in their mind

My opinion is to return to the immigration office and ask to talk to an immigration officer (NOT a volunteer). Confirm with them that the "Under Consideration" stamp will be closed out later.

They have a Facebook page and a website as well that you can use to contact them as well:

I don't know how updated they are though.
