Hello

I am from Nepal and am planning on coming to Thailand to give an interview for my F1 visa for USA since the country i live in the freshers intervew dates have gone past 2023 October which is not ideal for me as my classes start from 23 jan 2023 what is the visa rates for people like me and how are the VO’s in thailand how long do they take the interview for in my country we would hardly be given 1 min to talk and couldn’t be able to fully explain about us without the VO cutting our words thats why it’s mainly taken as a lottery as even the best applicants are rejected for some reason but somehow someone that dosent have a great application is accepted sometimes is the situation in Bangkok the same or is it different ?

Getting all my documents together for a retirement visa from home country of USA.

Right now trying to get my criminal background check done. Called my local law enforcement agency about getting this done. They seem to be clueless, they mentioned about finger print card that does that meet the requirement for Visa? Second of all does have be an official hard copy letter from an official office stating that im cleared or can they email the background check and then i print the the results off and use that as my background check document?

Thank you in advance for any help, I live in the state of Ohio

Can you apply for COE while you wait for the tourist visa to be approve?

or do you need to get the visa first to be able to apply for the COE?

applying visa from the US

thank you

Non-Immigrant O-A visa in US/Washington. Just got my first one through in-person drop off at their consulate. 4 days processing. Advice from Tod, and others here, very helpful. PM if you are going this route and have any questions. Thanks and Cheers.
