US Immigration from Thailand

Hi everybody. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to handle our current K-1 situation around timing of the visa interview and medical exams. I am the USC.

Our visa interview was supposed to be today but was cancelled due to COVID. We rescheduled for the next available date, June 15. Here is the problem: the medical exam will expire on June 23, so that will may not be enough time for my fiance (the beneficiary) to get the passport/visa and travel to the USA. My understanding in this scenario is that the K-1 visa itself expires, and we'd have to hope the embassy re-issues it (is this true?)...not something we want to risk.

Here are our choices as I see it:

Option 1: Request an expedited interview or cancel June 15 and try to grab an earlier interview if one opens up. Total gamble.

Option 2: Do another medical exam immediately - the problem is, we have to do a tuberculosis sputum test which takes up to 60 days to receive results, so the results may not be available for the interview.

Option 3: Postpone the interview date into July, and do another medical exam immediately to try to time the results to be available well before the interview as well as the exam expiration date well after the interview. Pushing back the interview will get us dangerously close to some critical documents expiring so we hate to consider this but it may be the safest bet.

It's a ridiculous situation. Our medical results are only valid for 90 days, and each time we do the medical there is a 60 day sputum test. Juggle all that with interview cancellations due to COVID and pending document expirations. Our NOA2 was one year ago

Very much hoping somebody on here might have a really nice Option 4 for us...appreciate the read.

Hi everybody

Our K-1 interview was supposed to be today but cancelled due to COVID. We are going to try to request an expedited appointment on grounds of medical issues for my fiance who is the beneficiary.

Anybody know how to do that? I see this webpage

https://www.ustraveldocs.com/th/th-niv-expeditedappointment.asp#ApplyingforanExpeditedAppointment

But...when we log in to the interview scheduling page, we see no options for expedite requests or the referenced "Expedite Request Form"

Note we already booked an appt. for June as a back-up, but an interview that far away presents a number of complications for us.

Thanks!

My fianc e told me many people are having their interviews canceled due to recent covid increases. Anyone else hearing that? Their website doesn t say anything.

We have been tracking our case for the last two months since it left the NVC and it has been showing in-transit for the Bangkok embassy. However, for the last four days, our case shows no records found. We no longer see any record that our case number even exists? Did anyone ever have this problem before?
