@Brandon ***********

thank you very much. I did do that, but I was getting the same response. In text, that is saying the same thing. If I look it up online on my account still in processing waiting for approval. I did find out that they are just too many visa applications. And only one person who can validate the visa

i did actually get to talk to somebody at the New York embassy. They said only one person has the authority to validate a visa. They said they are getting about 50. Electronic visa applications per day.

Right now The wait time is about six weeks.

@Lynnette ******

my bank charges me less. Because the bank wise uses is in the United States. They send it over to my Thai bank. I get the rate at the time. I do the transfer, and I pay a fee, which in the end.There's a couple hundred dollars cheaper on the money.I send over

@Lynnette ******

I just sent a wire to wise then they convert to my Thai account. It's a better rate than transferring directly to Thai account. Also it's not an international transfer so all around cheaper.
