Hello All, I have been using this board as reference for the past several months. Thank you all as it has been very beneficial!

On 10/27 (last Friday) the NVC gave me confirmation/case # that they have received my approved NOA2. If things go normal, it should be on its way to the Bangkok Embassy during the first week of November.

Here is my question, and I would appreciate your kind advice: I am traveling to Thailand to see Aam from November 17th-30th. If the Packet 3 has not been yet mailed to her house, can I go directly to the Embassy and pick up the Packet 3 Forms there, fill them out, and submit them directly to the Embassy as well? That would be quite a time saver/stress saver if it were possible. Also, I know that it is possible to download all forms as well from the Embassy website. If I were to do that, could I then fill them out in advance and take them directly to the Embassy while I'm in BKK?

Another question, now that I have the NVC case #, can I have Aam schedule her medical appt? I have the approved medical doctor offices from the Embassy website. I thought I could download those forms and get this out of the way as well while I'm there.

Peace to All,

Mark - N - Aam

Good question, From the timelines posted on VJ that consulate tends to process the cases sent by NVC fairly quickly and send out packet 3 probably before you get there.

Look at the timelines here to get an idea how long it takes for them to receive package from NVC until they send out packet 3.

The website for that embassy is much better than most you can look up when an interview is scheduled there, and they have all their packet 3 forms on line for download.

Welcome to the board!

My answer is no and no.

You can't not pick package3 from them, you can, however, download the form and fill it out so you can return the package3 ASAP.

I don't think you will get an appointment either. Med exam can only be done when you have the package4 AKA appointment letter.

MarkNAam,

One used to be able to go to the consulate in Bangkok and pick up the K-visa application materials as recently as 2 years ago. Don't know if they still allow it, some procedures have changed because BNK is a very busy consulate.

Note that while you may fill out the forms for Aam, this is her visa application not yours. You can assist her, but she is the responsible person. Keep that perspective in mind.

..snip.. I don't think you will get an appointment either. Med exam can only be done when you have the package4 AKA appointment letter.

Um, I don't know about the process in China, but I have been told that for Thailand my fiance can go ahead and get her medical exam now, and its good for one year, and can even be used within that time frame for her AOS once she gets to the USA.

Bangkok is not Guangzhou.
