Once the IV unit receives the case from NVC, our staff will contact the applicant with the Packet 3 Instructions. Please read the instructions carefully, make the application fee payment, and submit all documents to U.S. Embassy Bangkok’s Immigrant Visa unit. Once the Packet 3 documents are received and the case is determined to be documentarily ready, the IV unit will schedule the applicant’s immigrant visa interview. The applicant will be informed via email through the Packet 4 Appointment Packet which provides further guidance on additional required documents including the medical examination. Generally, interviews are scheduled within 60 days of receipt of the Packet 3 information, and applicants should refrain from contacting the IV unit to inquire about an interview appointment until 60 days have elapsed from the time the Packet 3 documents were submitted.
You may check our online appointment schedule, updated monthly, to view scheduled appointments for that month. If your appointment is listed on our website but you have not received an Appointment Letter, please download an Appointment Package and follow the detailed instructions. You may schedule your medical appointment directly with the hospital and be permitted entry for your interview without your Appointment Letter.
