It takes a week or two for the case to arrive in BKK. All cases sent to BKK arrive first at the consulate which is across the street from the embassy. This is important because it takes a few days for the consulate to transfer the case. During that time if people contact the embassy they will be told the case isnt there. This causes a lot of confusion.

When the embassy has your case they will place it in the schedual for interviews and request the P 3 info. You can work on this aspect right now. Its best to send in with the P 3 a tax transcript for at least the most recent years filing ( 2011 ). The police report takes a couple of weeks to obtain for example. The medical can be done at anytime now or just prior to the interview. This is done in one day and she will have the forms when she leaves the hospital.

The OP is IR-1/CR-1. There is no P-3 for IR-1/CR-1 visas. Only K visas have a P-3. He's already submitted police and tax (affidavit of support) info to NVC. OP only needs to worry about medical and presenting proof of ongoing relationship at the interview.

Thanks for correcting what I posted.

Congrats on the approval. Once the consulate in BKK received the package; for my case, it took about a month to receive a notice for interview. Good luck.

I'm in the same boat. My case was completed at NVC on 1/24/2013 and sent to BKK. I was also wondering how long it takes to get a visa interview.

My wife's interview date was 3 months from the date of case complete. The 3 months fell during the Christmas holidays, so that probably had something to do with it taking so long. Also, NVC seems to assign the interview dates around the 3rd week of every month. So I'd check with them now, and if you don't have a date yet, check back 3rd week in February. Unfortunately, it seems the embassy schedules all the interviews for tourist and K visas first, and then what ever is left over they give to NVC for immigrant visa interviews. I don't know this to be a fact, but looking at time lines here it seems to be the case.
