I have had very good experiences with Dr Orapon at Bangkok Hospital Pattaya.

I did the mail renewal. It took less than 2 weeks and was insanely simple to complete.

I did my first marriage extension in Ubon. My second in BKK. They acted like it was a big deal but in the end it was granted with no issues. The third was a transition to retirement (tired of the marriage extension drama) in Jomtien and again, no issues.

to be fair it was a couple of years ago. But I’ve seen on another forum someone said their friend just did it and it was under three weeks.

But as you know it’s the embassy and consistency isn’t exactly a quality of theirs.

Two weeks exactly from mailing to them to it arriving back in my mailbox.

because I want to and it’s my money that I can spend in any manner of my choosing. Also because no one is going to deny me if I move. I’ve done extensions in Ubon, Bangkok and Jomtien and never had an issue.

How about you worry about you and I’ll worry about me?

They are wrong. I have the 800k, I’m 100% legal I just hate going to immigration. So I pay an agent to do my extension. I have been in and out of the country with my re-entry stamps obtained at the same time as my extension and have had zero issues.

If they are a true, legitimate agency you will be fine.

Easiest way is as stated already.

All you need to do is show up with your items. They will box it up, seal the box, address the box and ship it out.

Can’t get much easier than that.

When I do it I preprint that address labels at home. But it’s not necessary.

Her interview will be at the embassy in Thailand to get the visa.

I did this (quite a while back, 2015) and in BKK to get the visa was a breeze. She was offered to answer questions in Thai but she chose English to show she understood.

However, once in Hawaii and we were converting her K1 to her green card (after marriage) that was strictly English and not too friendly.

I would also say for citizenship it should hr better than basic. They asked her quite a few questions on several topics including my work, family, kids, and previous career. It also includes a written and oral test. When we were there I was in the waiting room during her interview and I saw two people that were rejected because their English wasn’t good enough.
