Hi guys ,

I apologize if this is out of context .

But does anyone know about the ir1 cases in Bangkok US embassy ?

I am US citizen and have applied for my wife she will have her interview taken in US embassy bangkok.

Does anyone know if US embassy Bangkok has any backlog once the DQ is current ?

Thankyou so much y’all

My Thai fiance had her K1 fiance visa interview on March 28th in Bangkok. They kept her passport after the interview. It is now June 16th and still no approval, pending administrative processing, with no idea of when it will be approved 'or not!' Feedback appreciated!

Hello group. I'm a US citizen, living in Thailand, and applying for a new passport from the US embassy here. I'm a bit confused by one item on the checklist. It first says that I have to "Pay Courier Pass Back electronically via Thailand Post Mart website". The only option on the site appears to to be "Courier Pass Back envelope." I tried to order it but cannot select Thailand as the country in the return.

The checklist also says "Prepaid envelope cannot be accepted if you are applying for a US passport in Thailand.

I'm now completely confused.

Can anyone please help?

Has anybody renewed there passport with the US Embassy Bangkok, lately?

It's been about 5 years for me since the last time I got a new passport with the embassy.. Back then a person had to make an appointment, show up, then about 2 weeks after the appointment I received my passport.

From what I understand, things have changed some.

How long does it take these days?

Is it all done by mail?

My current visa stamp expires in about 30 days and I have only one empty page left.

UPDATE:

I put the paperwork in the mail on the 3rd and got the passport on the 18th. It's a bit of a pain because you have to go to 3 sites altogether. 1) Passport replacement page, 2) Order and pay for return postage to you, 3) Pay for the passport.

The rest of it's easy.

Hello,

I am going to be needing a new passport soon (running out of pages). I intend to order one from the US embassy here in Bangkok. What is the process to transfer my current visa (education visa) from the old passport to the new passport?

Thanks

Hello Everyone! First time posting in the group. Does anybody happen to have any experience or knowledge with the spousal visa CR1 in a foreign country? I’m American and my wife is Filipina We live in Thailand, as I have my retirement visa and she’s a dependent under my retirement visa and Thailand is our home. I tried googling and getting a hold of both embassies in Thailand, and in Philippines, and not getting any definite, clear answers. Does anybody have any knowledge or personal experience in a situation like this? to me, it makes sense to process the visa in Bangkok at the US Embassy since that is our residence but yet she is a Filipina, so not sure if it needs to be done in the Philippines, which that would make no sense to keep going back-and-forth 

TIA!

Anyone having problems submitting online request for appointment at the US Embassy in Bangkok? I have tried several times to complete request and when I do the final submission, nothing happens as it just takes back to start page.. Not a visa request but a notarial request. I am a American citizen recently married to a Thai citizen.

Marriage as a US citizen:

Has anyone gone to the US embassy in Bangkok lately for a Marriage affidavit and Passport certification? I was wondering how the process went.

From my understandings I just show up at my appointment time with the affidavit filled out, a copy of my data page in my Passport, and the appropriate payment method.

After that I will need to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Department of consular Affairs at 123 Chaeng Wattana RD for a translation and legalization of the documents from the US embassy.

The Passport doesn't need to be legalized and translated right?

Then I take those to the local Ampurs for them to issue a marriage certificate.

Is that correct? Any advice?

Thanks

Is there a visa service in Bangkok that can help me get a 2nd US passport? I already have the company letter.

Looking for advice for obtaining US B2 visa from Thailand:

I am a Brazilian citizen and I was selected for a short course in the States in mid May. Would also visit some friends while there.

Between Bangkok US embassy and Chiang Mai US consulate, which one offers highest chance of a fast processing/issuing visa?

Also, is it recommended to hire some sort of agent to help making this process quicker?

Thanks!
