Hi. It was very easy! We filled out the application on line and paid the fees and then mailed everything. Then we got a notification to go to a local US Immigration Office for his biometrics. Then we got the notification that his visa was approved and the passport arrived back a couple of days after that. We paid for expedited service and I think it took less than 10 days. The directions online are not always really clear and can be a bit confusing, but we did fine. As a matter of fact just this morning we started the process for requesting another US visa for Christmas. We're also planning to go to Paris and Budapest...hope that will be as easy. 

Good luck!

Hello again and thank you for your message! Yes, we have filled out the DS-160 and the GSS already...and he paid the visa fee already. I really hope his interview comes as quickly as yours did! We are both so tired of waiting. Thank you for your advice and for sharing your experience. ~ David

Hello and thanks for your message. The Embassy received our case on 15 August and mailed Packet 3 to him on 16 August, so he should receive it soon. He's still waiting for the translations of his Thai documents, but he's to receive those by this Friday. I expect he'll send in Packet 3 to the Embassy early next week.

Too long!

Congratulations!
