Guys, I'm seriously at my breaking point ☹️ 200 days since NOA, no movement on AP or EAD and AOS has been on 'Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview' status since May 1st (processing time at our office is 12-22 months. The wait has really caused my husband and I to fight a lot more because I'm just sooo done with sitting at home and feeling like I'm wasting my life away...plus it's a bit of a struggle financially. Just wish I didn't know about these lucky ones from February and March filers who have received their combo cards and green cards already 😌 how do you all keep your spirit up?

Omg! I totally get how you feel. I do understand how the process works but sometimes it made me so sad when I see someone in February and March filer group got combo cards. I always keep myself busy but I'm so ready to start working too. I really want to help my husband paying bills and stuff.

I just wanted you to know that we're here together so don't give up and don't fight with your husband too much because he is the reason why you moved here. Cheer up!

@Bunyaka, do you have any advice for how to obtain a copy of a Thai "House Registration Book"?

 

@x3n, my understanding is if she is currently included as part of an existing House Registration Book, she will need to obtain that book to present to the Police.   If she is not included (i.e. listed/entered) in an existing book, technically she will need to be added to the book for the address she currently resides.

Omg! Sorry for the very late reply. I think the problem is already resolved but your understanding is right. :D

Thank you, we did pass.  She was so excited that later when I asked her how the interview was she didn't remember if the officer said pass or not.  But they took her passport so I said probably passed...

You are both correct about being prepared and having all the correct documents before the interview, it helps a lot.  The interview was about 5 minutes with questions like; where did you meet; where does he live and where does he work.

Now on to the next step....

Congratulationssss!

congratulations to both @JoelThai and @Bunyaka on passing the interview!.  Hoping i will get the same result.  Good luck in the future.

Thank you so much. As @JoelThai said if you have everything prepared, you’re gonna pass the interview. The interview will be fast and easy too. Good luck! : )

Thank you.   We were approved.   🎉   

 

 I want to thank all of my fellow Thai K1 applicants (past and present) and everyone else who has contributed to Visa Journey.   Everything progressed with our I-129F Petition and K1 Visa application as well as I could hope (other than being a long slow process).   I am not sure if I could make that claim if VJ was not holding our hand along the way.

 

Honorable mentions go to @Loren Y for letting me follow in his footsteps, @Naes for being a VJ friend and someone to talk to, @Greenbaum for his support, and @TBoneTX for setting me straight when I was off target and teaching me to be a good VJ contributor. (I am sure he has no idea what I am talking about.  😀).

 

Now I need to figure out which of the many VJ forums I need to start paying attention to...    

Congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

 @BunyakaCongratulations on your approval yesterday!   And @JM&PP, good luck with your interview next week.   My Financee' interview is tomorrow.  🤞

Thank you so much. I’m so glad that this process has finally come to an end. I’m sure you guys are gonna get approved too. Good luck! 🤞

You must pass the medical exam and if you do not pass then your case will be denied. The chances of that happening is slim but it can and does happen. You are correct that TB can be problematic but is curable. It just takes time.

 

You reference the Thai P3 page 7 which only expands on the vaccination not was is checked. The medical evaluation is only looking for anyone currently afflicted with a contagious or communicable disease of public health significance and will not be allowed to immigrate until cured. Most can be cured before issuance of the passport.

Yep, that's what I was trying to explain.

Thank you!! We are feeling the same way! 

 

Question....what are they exactly looking for in medical? Don’t think this will be an issue so we are feeling positive September 11 to get our approval 😁

Please see page 7 to see what exactly what they're looking for on the medical examination.

Also, congratulations in advance.

I'll have an interview in a week and I'm so EXCITED! :X

If medical results fail also visa got denial?

From what I've heard, they won't deny it.

It depends on what the doctor found eg. if they found the spot in the applicant's lung, they will need to collect phlegm for at least 2 months to see if the patient tuberculosis. And if it's not the major thing, the doctor will just give the medicine until everything is good.

@JoelThai @JM&PP Yes! The status has finally changed. Good luck guys!

Well, at least the three of us are waiting together.   @JM&PP  @Bunyaka @JoelThai  We will keep each other company while we wait.  😃   Hopefully soon.   I know they are doing interviews in Bangkok today, so maybe after they finish with those they will have time for us.

I hope so too. I’ll keep you guys updated.

This might be a tough question to answer but what is the average people have waited to see “ready” on the CEAC website?

 

I haven’t heard anyone who’s case was “in transit” last Aug 7 be changed to “ready”.  

 

How often do embassies change the status?

Some cases have turned to ready in a few days because NVC send the case through online system. It depends on the embassy so I can’t really tell how often.

Hi  @Bunyaka and @JM&PP , it looks like the three of us are still waiting on "In Transit" for the Bangkok Embassy.   Here is hoping we all move forward soon.   🤞  

Unfortunately, yes! I thought the status would change a few days ago. 😅

Hey Joel, based on the info I think BKK embassy has received our cases.  It was delivered on Sat Aug 11.  Case is still in transit though on CEAC website.

Today is a holiday in Thailand so I think we will possibly see the status change to READY tomorrow!

guys, if you received a letter from the uscis after the answer to the rfe, that the case is still under review and so far there are no updates. does this mean that the review will be longer than expected? or this is the standard answer after two weeks?

It's standard. After I get approved, I still get the email because they never update my case status on the new site. Hope you will get NOA2 soon!

Definitely call! Our noa2 date was 7.10 and I had my number on 7.20

I just realized I'm sooooo slow. haha

I'll call now.Thank you!! <3

I read just above from little_vixen that petitioner will receive email from NVC that case has been sent to the embassy so maybe thats what it is? 

Yes! Try calling, ive seen others with your NOA2 get their case # even last week! Good luck! 

Yeah it might be the same thing. I will call now. Thanks again!

6 minutes ago, Charles_Hannah said:

Yes it was actually pretty fast! Im surprised myself! Thanks a lot! 😁

I called them a couple of hours ago and got the case # but no hard copy. I wasnt aware we would be receiving a hard copy as well though

From what I have heard, they will send us the case number letter to the petitioners again too.

Thank you for the information. I'll try calling too! hehe

Hi guys! Got our case# today from NVC! NOA2 July 10th. It took 9 business days 😊

Wow! That's fast. Congratulations!! One step closer. 

Did you get your case number by calling NVC or get the hard copy already? ^^

I think that the closer we get, the crazier we will get! Lol

It's so TRUE! I used to be crazy like checking VJ and my case status all day.

Now I realized that I can wait to be crazy again around (hopefully) May or June. hehe

Maybe they used their magic wands 

I was excited to get approved this March until VJ gave an estimation of first week of April to 2nd week! How about you @bunyaka? 

haha I wish I could have that kinda magic too!!

I think it's possible for you to get NOA2 in March. My VJ timeline shows I'd get NOA2 around 1 to 7 July which is understandable

but I secretly hope for NOA2 around June. hehe

Anyway, I wish you the best of luck on your journey!

A couple of November filers have been approved already or got their noa2 around January  I was wondering why it only took them 2 months and ours are taking forever.. 

I think those November filers who got approved were lucky and USCIS just made a mistake. Now I'm sure that your time is coming.
