You don't need an MFA stamp for US immigration purposes. If this post is to help others, at least get the details correct.

You do not need an MFA stamp or anything done in Thailand for this process. A certified translation can be done at any translation company in the US. "Certified" simply means that the person translating the document says they are competent in both languages and that they certify the translation as true. They will place a stamp on each translated document with their certification and signature as well as include a translation certificate. This is all relatively inexpensive and if there isn't any companies near you to do this, there are plenty online. Edit: If you or her are fluent in both languages, you can even do the translation yourself and certify it!

Translated documents for a U.S. visa don't have to be legalized. You can take your Thai documents to any translation service that you find fit and the translator will certify that they are competent in both languages by placing either a note or stamp on each translated page and providing a certificate that they are competent as well. You don't even need a translator if you yourself are fully competent in both languages and are willing to do up a certification letter. The average price that we found in BKK was 300-500b a page. OP you can pm me if you want the place we used. Edit: All the documents we ended up requesting from the Amphur were in Thai.

Hi there, just stumbled upon this thread! We went through the process and were approved in December, would be more than happy to help out or answer any questions. Our timeline was as follows: I-130 Sent: 2/16/21 I-130 NOA1: 2/16/21 I-130 Approved: 6/2/21 NVC Received: 6/7/21 Submitted NVC Documents: 7/1/21 NVC Documentarily Qualified: 9/9/21 Interview Notification: 11/10/21 Interview Date: 12/1/21 Visa Received: 12/2/21 USCIS was processed at the Nebraska Service Center. The timeline far exceeded our expectations and we were one of the lucky ones I guess. No hiccups and we filed everything ourselves. Keeping you in our thoughts and hoping for a prompt finish! Edit: Rereading your post, have you been documentarily qualified from NVC? If so, what was the date?
