And what was answer regarding "your" payment?  Did the branch look-up your payment to see if it was being received in IAT format?

The Ass't Manager asked me to convey the three points of information to the SSA and suggested that was all that was needed.

I will contact SSA/Manila Monday to determine how best to do that.

Your money went into Bangkok Bank NY by domestic wire and arrived in Thailand. The question is will that work after April 1 2019 when ACH is replaced by IAT.

 

Nobody wants to ask Bangkok Bank?  ????

See attached received in person from BBL Ass't Manager/Chiang Mai [Kat Sun Keaw branch].

Ubon Joe:

Previous post shows document obtained yesterday from BBL/Chiang Mai [Kat Suan Keaw branch).

SSA Manila never replied to my earlier communication.

Paul/S.K.

Also would appreciate your comments.  Paul/S.K.

Thanks Ubon Joe.

I have since landed onto another topic where this is being covered. Will monitor there.

If I get a reply from SSA/Manila, will share it.

I have my SS payment direct deposited to Bangkok Bank's branch in New York and they transfer it to my account here.

I think you are getting overly concerned. The same sort of report has been posted before and it only happened at one office and may of not even be happening now at that office.

You swear an oath to consular officer that it is true and correct. Making a false statement is punishable under the law. That is not rubber stamping anything.

Immigration accepts a lot of documents that they could consider photoshopped. What I get in the mail form the SSA looks very official since it comes as one of those letters with tear off ends that you have to then carefully unfold.

 

Ubon Joe:

You indicated last year that you had your SS check transmitted via BBL/NYC to your BBL account in Thailand. If this transmission via BBL/NY comes to an end in April, can you recommend reasonable options to investigate?

I have written to SSA/Manila and have not received any substantive reply. Is it possible the BBL/NYC link is NOT disappearing next April?
