- Statement of purpose — English/Thai bilingual, addressed to the exact refusal ground.
- Mock interview in English or Thai, with visa-officer role-play.
FAQ
- Which US visa class fits my trip?
- Tourism/visit family → B-2. Business meetings/conferences → B-1 (often issued as combined B-1/B-2). Studies at an accredited SEVP school → F-1. Exchange programs → J-1. Intra-company transferee → L-1. Extraordinary-ability worker → O-1. Investors from treaty countries → E-2 (Thailand is a treaty state). We match your intent to the class before booking DS-160.
- How long does it take from Bangkok?
- DS-160 preparation 1–2 days. MRV fee payment via Krungsri same-day. Interview appointment at U.S. Embassy Bangkok currently 4–10 weeks (varies with backlog). Post-interview passport return via EMS 3–5 business days. Total: 5–12 weeks.
- What is the 214(b) refusal and how to reverse it?
- 214(b) means the officer was not convinced of your non-immigrant intent (strong ties to Thailand). Reapplying without new evidence usually fails. We rebuild the file with fresh financial proof, employment continuity letters, family ties documentation, and a coached interview strategy addressing the exact concern raised.
- Total fees?
- MRV fee USD 185 (B/F/J/M/C/D). Petition-based (H/L/O/P) USD 205. Our service fee THB 6,500 (B-1/B-2) to THB 25,000 (E-2 treaty investor with business plan). ESTA renewal not applicable — Thai passport holders are ineligible for the Visa Waiver Program.
- Do you help after a prior refusal?
- Yes — refusal review is our specialty. Bring the pink slip (221(g) or 214(b)), we audit the DS-160 for inconsistencies, rebuild ties evidence, and prepare a written statement addressing the refusal ground before re-interview.
