Clueless as to how long the process will be... So unfortunate we can't contact them thru phone, only thru EMAIL which takes forever... sent them email last month and still no response even up to now...

Try visasbkk2@stategov.com. This email is thought to bypass the staff and go straight to the officers.

Contact by phone by buying special pin number at any Thai post office that allows a number of calls directly into the embassy I V unit. This number is supposed to be used to ask general question not those specific to a certain case. I would try in anyway.

Are you talking about the transfer from one embassy to a different one? I have heard this can take months. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. Have you called NVC to see if it has been delivered to Bangkok yet?

We called USEM Manila and we were informed that the petition file has been sent already last Sept.5 but they have no information if Bangkok has received it or not. We called NVC too and we were told the same thing and that we have to contact the embassy directly which is kind of useless since we sent them a couple of emails last month and we never got any response.

Yes, sorry do what Ning and Juan and Nan suggest.

Keep in mind that these cases are sent to the consulate section first NOT the I V section. The consulate section is across the street from the embassy. This is important for two reasons. You, as a USC CAN contact that section directly to ask questions. Ask for the duty officer. Also it takes a few days just to transfer the case across the street.

Make sure the duty officer knows its a USCIS mistake because they can and will help correct the time loss by expediting the interview date.
