Hello all,

 

My case is still at the NVC and apparently some embassies let you schedule your interview even if your case has not left the NVC. Is this the case with Thailand? Thank you for your repsonse!

Unfortunately no.  You will have to wait for the embassy to receive your packet before they will start working on your case.

After they begin working on the case how long before they allow the scheduling of the interview? What are the next steps?

 

Thanks for any reply

When your status at the NVC changes from TRANSIT to READY, you can send Packet 3 to the embassy.  When you receive Packet 4 the Embassy will schedule the Interview appointment.    You will be able to check the Embassy website to get the date and time of  your appointment.  They are listed by NVC number.
