As I read the original article it looks like he had a certified criminal record check from his country of origin but was refused because he didn't also have a Thai criminal record check. I was under the impression that it was necessary to show a criminal record check from either the original country of origin or Thailand. While I think that it should be both for people who have been teaching in Thailand for the previous year, I was only asked for the US background check when I changed my visa last year in Laos and when I extended it this year.

would anyone happen to know when i apply for a METV in person and pick it up in person, does it take 5 days or is it less? i'll be heading to D.C. soon and i need to start planning

I did not use DC but the Consulate in NYC was quick. I dropped it off Friday morning and picked it up on Monday after 1 pm. No issues or wait whatsoever. My total time in the consulate, over two visits, was under 10 minutes.
