Hey everyone...greetings from Chiang Mai Immigration. I just want to pass along some observances from here...
1) Don’t panic. We’ve already had three crying fits and one nervous breakdown on the steps. It doesn’t help and, as there is nothing but pure speculation out right now, anything can happen.
2) Visiting immigration won’t get your news quicker. I like to visit and talk, but I can’t tell you anything you probably don’t already know ATT.
3) The volunteers here are not IO’s. We don’t make the law, but are here to sort documents and tell you what potential options there are. If we don’t know, we’ll direct you inside where the officials will tell you the same thing.
4) Don’t panic. Stop reading all the speculation. Plan, but stop freaking out. I can’t stress this enough.
We get morning updates and briefings from immigration each morning before we head into the fray. I’m not keeping information to myself. I promise.
Be well, and let’s see what happens. As SOON AS I GET RELIABLE INFO, I’ll pass along. Promise.
