greatjob Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Hi All, I am quite frustrated right now.... Even after trying at least a 100 times... I still can't get a VISA appointment to the US embassy in Bangkok.... My wife and I are planning to go on a two-week holiday to the US this summer. My wife needs a visa to the US and, as we have 3-4 months before going on the trip, I felt it was the right time to apply for a visa for her. I went on the US embassy website for Bangkok, read online what is needed to be done to get a US visa and things look pretty straight forward and feasible. Everything is spelled out very clearly and it sounded like it should not be a big problem to gather the information needed. The next thing I had to do is buying a PIN number (which I did) and then use it to get access to their "appointment" system..... The problem starts when, after filling in all the necessary fields online, you try to find a day for an appointment .... and that it turns out that all days are "UNAVAILABLE" or "BUSY" until 2012.... I tried to contact the US embassy but received the general "please try again later" kind of answers or the "we will add more appointment possibilities at a later date". After 100 tries throughout this week I am wondering if something is actually wrong or is it just me. Has anybody had the same problem before? When is the good time to "try" to get an appointment on the online system? Am I missing something? A big thank you to anyone who can help us!

noahvail Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I have to renew my passport soon. Went to their BKK website, which must interface with the one in the US. Clicked on what I needed, and appointment days available showed up on a calendar. Maybe it's because your needs involve more than mine... but there certainly are times available, starting in about a week or so. I used the google.co.th search, Thai hits only, for US embassy. Keep at it, good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanyaburi Mac Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 This "problem" came up a week or two ago on this TV forum, search around for it. The suggested solution, which worked, BTW, was to go back on line LATE in the evening, perhaps really late. No idea why that worked but the OP said instead of 2012 he got an appointment two weeks hence, I think it was. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanyaburi Mac Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Below the wait time per the U.S. Embassy's www site, have heart! Just stay up late.... Mac Visa Wait Times Bangkok Typical Wait Time (Calendar Days*) for a Nonimmigrant Visa Interview Appointment Visitors Visas: 12 Days Student/Exchange Visitors Visas: 5 Days All Other Nonimmigrant Visas*** (Excludes: A, G, K, and V): 5 Days Typical Wait Time (Workdays**) for a Nonimmigrant Visa To Be Processed****: 4 Days *Calendar days refer to every day of the week, including days when embassies are closed (such as weekends and holidays). **Work days refer only to days when the embassy is open and does not include weekends and holidays. *** The All Other Nonimmigrant Visa wait time DOES NOT include K or V visa applications, which are processed similar to immigrant visas. A and G applications are excluded from these wait times, as they are processed separately. ****IMPORTANT NOTE: Processing wait time DOES NOT include the time required for administrative processing. These procedures require additional time. Most administrative processing is resolved within 60 days of application. When administrative processing is required, the timing will vary based on individual circumstances of each case. Therefore, before making inquiries about status of administrative processing, applicants or their representatives will need to wait at least 90 days from the date of interview or submission of supplemental documents, whichever is later. Processing wait time also does not include the time required to return the passport to applicants, by either courier services or the local mail system.

greatjob Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Thanks for your advice, I didn't see the last topic on this, sorry. I will try the "late" advice and see if it works.

Gary A Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 It is my opinion that the embassy does a pretty decent job in areas OTHER than the Consular Section. That section needs a serious overhaul and probably some people replaced. That section is inept and rude. They have no idea that they are public servants and thus are expected to cooperate with US citizens who have Thai wives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary A Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 A few years ago, I was able to go to the embassy and actually was able to talk to and get information from competent embassy employees. The last time I went, I was NOT able to talk to anyone. I was told that I would have to buy a PIN online to be able to talk to someone who could help me. I live more than 600 kilometers from Bangkok so it's not like walking across the street. I went back home and paid $20 online for a PIN. I made my call and the guy I talked to didn't know his ass from his elbow. I was informed that since I had paid for a PIN I could make an appointment. Trying to explain that I needed information before making an appointment was like talking to a rock. I have been criticized for posting about the deficiencies that exist at the US Embassy but since the service does stink, it is the truth. My last two emails to them were NOT answered, not even the computer generated canned answers that I used to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO luck...looks like Thais wanting to visit USA are to stay home! ...and with the US economy hurting...and it is hurting BIG TIME... with service industry unemployment high..hotel vacancies high... all tourist dollars..including from Thais should be WELCOMED! I will try calling the US Embassy Warden for Pattaya/Chonburi today ... and see if he has any helpful tips...will let you know what I find out. Please note that the appointment website is showing NO available appointments/// for ALL OF 2010... NOT ONE appointment..in any month this year unbelievable! tj Dear [email protected], Thank you for using the Visa Information Service. We apologize for any difficulties you may have experienced. There is currently a high demand for visa interview appointments. Appointment availability changes regularly as applicants schedule and cancel appointments. In addition, appointments will become available as the U.S. Embassy and the U.S. Consulate General continue to add more appointments for the future. Please check the site again. Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you, The Visa Information Service Team Edited March 29, 2010 by travelerjim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary A Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 An American with a Thai wife should receive better treatment then a Thai wanting to go to the US for whatever reason. Unfortunately it appears that we receive the same treatment as a Thai bar girl. Face the facts. The embassy is NOT doing their job. My Thai wife and I have a home here and have no desire to live in the US. My folks are elderly and I would like to be able to go to the US in case of an emergency that will eventually certainly come.

How about you include a short note, a really calm not, the Cons Section, about the problems you and others have had getting an appointment. I sure can't believe that they're all booked up through the end of the year. Heavily book, possibly to probably, because the summer season is coming on and lots of Thai want to head east.

jfchandler Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 The purchasing of a PIN issue mentioned above is only part of the process if a Thai is trying to apply for a visa of some sort to the U.S. It's doesn't pertain or apply to Americans wanting to do some transaction at the Consular Services section. The PIN deal, however, is IMHO just another way to tack on added fees as part of the VISA application process. Of course, the PIN fee is non-refundable, as is the 3,000+ baht application fee for tourist visas...no matter what the outcome of the application. Given that the Consular Services staff seem to deny most of the Thai tourist visa applicants they receive, I'd imagine they're making quite a tidy sum each year just for saying NO...and NO and NO and NO! I'd be curious to know if they've ever publicly reported what their approval/denial ratio is for any kind of Thai visa applications here in Bangkok....

Rdrokit Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) I definitely feel like the lucky one. I purchased a PIN number on Feb 19th and had no trouble making an appointment for March 19th. I did notice when we went down that the waiting room for visa appoints was full. There must have been over 50 people in there and everyone must have paid for a PIN number PLUS the visa cost (was 4454 baht for my wife) which you must pay before the interview. The American Embassy is getting rich and they want to raise their prices. What a crock!! Edited March 30, 2010 by Rdrokit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
