US Immigration from Thailand

Hi all,

My fiance have been very lucky and her k1 Fiance Visa has finally been issued. From the I29F to issuance it took around 2 years.

Our question is, does the country of departure matter when going into the USA?

My fiance's visa was issued by the Bangkok embassy but she is Filipino. We applied for the Bangkok embassy as she is working in Thailand.

She is looking to go back to the Philippines first to visit family and then from there depart for the United States. Does she have to depart to the US from Thailand since Bangkok US Embassy was the one that issued the visa?

I can't find the doc on my computer or a printed copy. I thought I could re download the one I uploaded but doesn't seem to be possible. We are now "Documentarily Qualified" and waiting on an interview -- so a bit panicked that we are now missing a required doc.

Has this happened to anyone else? This morning I received an email from NVC that both fees were rejected. Then like a couple hours later we were DQ d.

So confused.

I paid 2 weeks ago and the payments were cleared. Already sent an inquiry to NVC with screenshots from my bank of the payments. I m thinking NVC has system issues.

I believe I made a mistake when submitting documents as our CEAC portal now has my spouse (the visa beneficiary) listed in the AOS section and is asking for documents.

Obviously my spouse is trying to obtain the visa and has none of the required documents (see attached).

What should I do?

One of the arguments I am planning on using for my wife's 601a waiver is related to my father's health.

My father is in his 80's and has Parkinson's. I/we spend a good amount of the weekend at my parent's house helping to take care of him. I would not be able to do this if I were to move to Thailand while we wait out her 10 year bar.

My parents have asked his neurologist for a letter stating his diagnosis, but she says she cannot provide it due to HIPA regulations. (I don't believe this is accurate, but that's a different story...)

Is it acceptable to just mention my father's condition without providing evidence to support it, or should I just leave it out of the letter entirely? Alternatively, my parents could ask for his medical records and include the entire file (though I would rather not do that route)
