you would be surprised, any inconsistency matters like not explaining a job correctly, or using words like ‘I think he’ etc or ‘I don’t know how long but maybe 2 weeks’ are enough to get it declined

@Jamie ************

we’ve never had visas declined including the USA and we are not citizens etc so there is a flip side, I’ve known many who have been declined for many countries and try again with approval

@Jamie ************

yea they review prior and make a assessment so the interview would be to corroborate the application info and it’s likely something didn’t correlate possibly with the answers also a big proponent is the length of the relationship etc - embassies approve and deny visas every day for decades and decades, the process is more algorithmic with computers today rather than a individual processing each one, so your application was marked for review do to some anomalies etc since you are not in the actual appointment and interview you will never really know what was said or not

@Jamie ************

it really depends there are many variables and a well presented application is key with supporting data - I’m Canadian and my wife received a ten year visa for the U.S. when we applied for tourism etc the main things looked at were savings, long term employment history and purpose of the trip etc

It’s possible that your Thai girlfriend has applied for visas in western countries previously so if the information doesn’t line up its declined all the western embassies share info and data centres as part of security etc

Busier in afternoon

Depends on the quality of the application by your wife? Bad candidates often get rejected, good candidates get approved - people processing these look at thousands abs thousands and the bad ones stand out

Airlines are responsible for ensuring the rules are followed and get the cost of returning any passengers that don’t meet regulations
