This brief video explains new visa policies and procedures for visitors to the United States.

After an USCIS office in the U.S. processes and approves an I-129F petition, it will be forwarded directly to the Immigrant Visa Unit (IV Unit) of the Bangkok Consular Section. Once the IV Unit receives the petition, it will immediately send or give out a packet of materials called Packet 3 for Fiance(e) Visa, which must be completed by the visa applicant and returned to the IV Unit. Once the visa applicant returns Packet 3 for Fiance(e) Visa to the IV Unit, the IV Unit will schedule the visa interview (2-3 weeks later), provide instructions for the required medical exam, and request an FBI name check from the U.S. (which can take anywhere from 7-14 days).

How long will the whole process take?

The length of time will depend on how quickly USCIS processes the petition and then how quickly the visa applicant returns Packet 3 to the IV Unit. Once the visa applicant returns Packet 3 to the IV Unit, the visa interview is normally scheduled 2-3 weeks later.

How long will it take to get a visa after the interview?

The same day, as long as the visa applicant is found eligible for the visa.

Which affidavit of support do I use?

Persons sponsoring a fiance(e) must use the I-134 Affidavit of Support.

Inquiries should be directed to the Immigrant Visa Unit at the Embassy at [66](2) 205-4287 or e-mail to "visasbkk@state.gov". The unit’s hours of operation are from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday-Friday.
