How long does it take to receive the interview letter after i130 approval for an iR1 spouse visa at the American embassy in Bangkok?

Ken *******

My wife did the I130 6 years ago. They kept her passport and put the visa in there. It took about 10 days to receive it back. We had to leave Thailand to the USA within 90 days.

How long does the I-130 Visa process for a Thai spouse typically take?

Ken *******

I had the same journey with my thai wife. It's a waiting game. All you can do is wait they are back logged. Not all immigration offices are that bad it depends on where you file. Ours was through Cleveland Ohio.

How can I call the US from Thailand after buying a SIM card?

Ken *******

If AIS dial 003 1 area code number.

Or 001 1 area code number. It may work for one but not the other. 800 or 877 toll free don't work from Thailand

When can I apply for a 30-day extension after arriving in Thailand on a non-immigrant family visa?

Ken *******

I can do 90 days without an extension. Leave the country and come back in on a 60 day. Entry stamp? And I won't have to get an extension for a 60 day. I need about a 155 days. I also would like to get my 2nd 5 year Driver's license and I don't know if that I can renew for another 5 years without having some type of long stay Visa.
