It's been two months since your original post.... how did it go? Was this a IR1 visa or K1, if IR1, I'm curious as to what they asked. Also if this was a DCF, do you live in Thailand and what did you list for your Country of Domicile on the I-864. I'm at that step right now and will be mailing in my P3 next week.
It went very well! It was for a K1, it wasn't a DCF, we mailed it, 2-5 days later they said they received it, then the interview was 3 weeks later. Super fast. I was living/visiting in Thailand for 7 months but I still had domicile in the USA. I didn't lose it since I had ties (bank accounts, condo, job, etc.). Actually they could have cared less but I sent them too many documents anyways! Better safe than sorry.

You can't get a passport unless you have a ssn or have requested one. On the DS-2029 the CO can change the field to request a SSN.
That’s not actually true. You can put all 0s or all 9s (I can’t remember which one) if you don’t have an ssn. I just did it.

Bring everything they request plus all the copies, proof, forms, etc. Make sure all of your documents are correct! Better to be over prepared!

The whole process was very professional and straightforward. We brought way too many documents than requested but it turned out that's better than not having enough! We showed everything they wanted on the Chiang Mai CRBA checklist, had a short interview, and was told it was approved! The next week we picked up the CRBA and passport.
We had passport stamps showing we were together in the same place at the same time, both names on the birth certificate, Thailand passport was obtained by both of us, we had everything in Thai translated for 300 baht a page, and brought it all to the interview. It was quick and painless. The week before we talked to a married couple that went and they said it was a breeze, but we were still nervous! Haha, it turns out we didn't have to be! Next step is the K-1 visa interview and hopefully to America! Whoa! What a process!

In my experience they were very fast. Our interview was, I think, 9 days after we mailed packet 3 back. That is a little faster than average, but in general they are very fast. Don't worry you shouldn't have to wait long and you should be email an interview date.
Thanks!!
That’s awesome. We are ready for the interview now.
How was your experience with the embassy?
-
Very excited! We just mailed everything to the embassy they should have everything on Monday! For those who have filed in Thailand how many weeks does it take to get an interview? Do they email you about when your appointment is? Can I email them and ask? Or do I just look on the PDF they have on their webpage? If it’s the last thing then do I check that periodically or is it uploaded one time for one month?

Which country?

Hi, apply to study English at an English school. They’re not that expensive and you can stay for a long time. Or look into some other type of educational pursuit. It doesn’t have to be a university. I don’t know how long you can stay on one of these visas but you can get a bank account, apartment, etc and see where it goes from there. Maybe you’ll want to stay or maybe not but you should live here (USA) first.

MRV stands for Machine Readable Visa and it’s the visa fee you pay.
You’re ds-160 has a confirmation page with a barcode that’s read by a machine.
There are so many terms and websites to understand and use it’s no wonder you’re confused.

I put unknown, left the line blank, or explained why I couldn’t fill out the form entirely. I was scared but the petition was approved in 5 months.

Yes I agree, somewhat, have her look for love in America. You can want to be a usc and still really love the American too. You just date people who are usc and know why it’s only Americans (but not only for a green card).
There are other routes too. Working, studying, etc.

Why do I read you need to bring these to the interview online but nothing is required on the packet 3 or 4? Is it only some countries?

Hi I want to know if an illegitimate child needs parental consent or something else. The child is 4 years old and the father is not part of the picture and never has been.

Yes, there are ways to expedite at the embassy level. You have to contact the embassy to request it. Reasons for an expedite to be approved are not set in stone, but there must be a valid reason (i.e. medical, emergencies, personal well-being being threatened, etc.).
Thanks for your help!

Hi, I think we sent the original affidavit of support with the petition to the USCIS. Do I reprint it, sign it again and bring it to the interview? (I'm going with my fiance).
I looked up the form and it has has an expiration date of October or November 2018 so how can I print a new one? Also do I need to use my tax transcripts from 2018? I haven't filed taxes yet.
Any help would be great.

Is there any way to get the interview quicker? Is there an expedited request there? What reasons would they accept?
Any help would be great. Thanks!

Any word yet?

Yes I have the same question!

My I-129f form do we sit and wait until we are in next phase !
Yes but an online account with the uscis is worthless. I’m still not approved online but I’m at the embassy stage.

Why wouldn’t you be allowed??

A "how we met' letter is not needed.
There is a question on the I-129F to describe the circumstances of how you met in person. Just a sentence or 2 is sufficient.
There's no direct harm in going more elaborate, but generally when it comes ot immigration, it's best not to volunteer unnecessary information as it can present more questions rather than answering them.
Presumably he was denied under INA 214(b) due to immigrant intent. As you noted, you did plan to marry, and the assumption would be then to stay in the US. An F-1 visa requires non-immigrant intent. Thus, a denial was likely.
A refusal under 214(b) will have no impact on a K-1 visa. K-1 permits immigrant intent.
I agree. I filled out that section with just a few sentences and my petition was approved in 5 months.
Just mailed everything to Bangkok Embassy!

You can email the embassy too. Ask them if you need to show proof of Domicile. Honestly though, just send it all in and show your ties if you plan on going back to the USA.
