EyesWideOpen Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Well after a lot paperwork shuffling, I finally have a date for the verbal interview for my wife's visa at the US embassy in Bangkok. She is a bit nervous about what questions she will be asked. Nothing to hide, she is just a bit intimidated by the process. I did a fair amount of google searching but was not able to pull up much specific to Bangkok. Does somebody know of a site where perhaps a lot of the the questions are listed ? Thanks in advance....

CWMcMurray Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) There is no set list of questions... Is this a tourist visa or immigrant visa ? It is really up to the interviewer... And in some cases, think they may already have a good idea if the applicant will get the visa before the interview (at least for tourist) Last Sep, my wife applied for Tourist visa (her 2nd, first was when we first got married) This time, the officer just asked... So married for almost 10 years now? Wife nodded, and she said, your approved... Passport will be delivered.. Didn't look at any documents we had prepared ... But I am sure they looked at my passport history submitted online and saw I had been living here for over 11 years with only a couple weeks back in the US... Guessing that's the easiest it could be... For others, have heard that ask questions about employment and may request a letter from Employer or bank book to prove she can afford the trip... Or anything else that would prove she plans to come back to Thailand If you are living in US and she is trying to get tourist visa, have heard this is the hardest case to get... Especially if new marriage ... As officer may presume you are trying to get around the im-visa process So may need more info to prove ties to Thailand and that she will return. If immigrant visa ... Not sure, as haven't been through that process Although a good website to check out be visa journey.com All about US visas Edited April 7, 2015 by CWMcMurray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, as haven't been through that process Although a good website to check out be visa journey.com All about US visas Thanks. It is an immigrant visa. We are married, and have a four year old daughter who is an American citizen through me. So am pretty sure it will be a slam dunk. I suspect if you met a gogo girl last month and tried to get her a visa, they would ask a LOT of questions.... I have been to that visa journey site before, it is more about visa applications from around the world. I was hoping for question information a bit more specific to Bangkok. Have lived here 14 years, and decided to move back to the states. Principally for the education of my daughter, and somewhat due to other events occurring in Thailand.....

Thanyaburi Mac Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I note there's some (just a few) sample Qs here: http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/index.php?cnty=Thailand&cty=&dfilter=5&topic=K1+Visa Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EyesWideOpen Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 Thanks Mac. Guess my Google search skills are better than my site specific skills. Questions posted on that thread seemed pretty easy. They were mostly K1 visas, so I think the embassy was checking the depth of the relationship. Since we are already married and have a child, pretty sure it will be brief.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
