Am looking for <<<< Name of missing person removed >>>>, living in the Sattahip area, his mother has not heard from him since March and she is worried about him. Any information would be appreciated. 

Use Shopandship out of California, friends have used them they will deliver from warehouse to door. Decent rates

The wife and I had real good experience with the one in Surin. We had several issues and all got resolved and in our favor....

Should be no problem, just make sure she has a copy of your passport with your extension to stay in it....

What building are they going to aim at???LOL

Our club gives to Tree of Life Orphanage (TOLO) in Buriram. They have just added a new building so they can house more kids. Look them up on Facebook or the web. It is a great place to help.

Surely not the police, who can afford them

From SS

"If you are not a United States citizen, the law requires us to stop your payments after you have been outside the United States for six consecutive calendar months unless you meet one of several exceptions in the law allowing your benefits to continue. Most of these exceptions are based on your country of citizenship, residence or on other conditions. "

Go to website, there is a tool that determines if qualified, not a simple yes or no.....

the benefit can be collected in Thailand by a US citizen. Benefits can not be collected to those who live outside the US by non-citizens.

I had a dell, brought it in the US, when I moved to Thailand, had to transfer the warrenty over here. they have excellent in home service here, no complaints on service from Dell.

computers have to take air in from the outside to cool the system, they have fans, It would not be the AC putting water in the computer, never had that problem. I have never been a fan of Sony computers...

There used to be, but it just did not take off. there is Baht and sold, that is all that I know of....

The IR1 for me has taken about 5 months,

Was it 5 months from the initial application to the final interview? That seems incredibly fast!

Initial application was June 10, interview on 27 Oct.

When you applied for a CR1 it was basically a CR1/IR1. When your wife enters the USA, USCIS will issue her green card. If on the the date her permanent residency begins you have been married less than two years, they will issue here conditional green card which is valid for two years. After two years she would have to file with USCIS to remove conditions and, if approved, she would get a 10 yr green card. If on the date her permanent residency begins you have been married for two years or longer, USCIS will issue her a 10 year green card.

I am a bit confused by the part that she already passed her interview, but does not have her visa. When my wife interviewed (although it was for a K3) they kept her passport and we went a few days later and picked it up with the visa already in it.

As far as going to the USA, once she enters, they will send her a green card (to the address on the I-130 petition when you applied). Nothing else to do but wait for it (usually takes about a month). Once she has the GC, she can potentially stay outside the USA up to a year without a re-entry permit, but pushing this is not recommended.

I would look into the re-entry permit guidelines to determine if it might not be a better way to go.

Thanks Very Much for The Reply!

I'm still weighing my options but will need to decide within a month or so.

As far as my wife passing her interview, she went to her final interview in March, they approved the visa but she requested to pick it up later. You can put off picking up the Visa for up to a year, but will need to renew your medical and police certificate when you do got to get it. When the visa is issued you have 6 months to use it or lose it.

Does anyone know the current processing times for an IR1 visa?

Thank You

The IR1 for me has taken about 5 months,

I guess the saying of "that is where dreams come from"

I understand why they watch this close, but I have seen Thais get tourtist visa's with ease cause they have good job (working for government, police, nurse) then go to the States, stay 6 months and work the entire time they are there. The one policemen bragged about be a pizza deliveryman, how much money he made. He and 6 others leased an Apt, then walked away from the last 6 months of the lease.....I know it is hard to guess who is the right person, but this policeman was not asked for bankstatement, property information, nothing but that he had a good job as a Policement.....yeah right

Depending on what you need Notarized, I just used a Thai Notary (thai lawyer) and it was OK. I asked first if it was acceptable, showed what it looked like and they said as llong as it had the seal and was proper it would be OK....Just a thought.... there is a law firm there that can do that...

Thats OK they will make it locally and have a very fine product for the day...

Why would anyone think it would be better to marry for a Visa. You don't think that it would cost you much more to try and do this?

I have eaten at a little steak house in front of the Boss hotel, very nice and inexpensive.....

they are just following the example of their elders..... :whistling:

I am in the process now, we did the Police check before the letter form the embassy, just tell them you forgot it, they will let her do it....

I use Siam bank and Bangkok bank, I find that Bangkok bank has fees for everthing, so I shy away from them. Both banks will cash american checks, but the fee is much higher than 10 baht. it is around 300-600 baht. I set up a swift from my US bank to my siam bank. cost is $40 for any amount. used to be $25 but with banks having to pay all the law suites, prices went up. So I just do it couple times a year, bring over large amounts. I did the direct deposit at Bankkok bank, but you pay 2 fees and it adds up. JMO

Don't know that there is a restriction except on the tollways.
