She did claim me as the father at the Amphur in Udon Thani and they put my name in the Tabiaan Bahn named as the father. I was there at the Amphur and even had brought a local official who knew someone at the office. We ate noodles and even discussed that it was important I be registered as the father. I thought that was how the legitimization process was done if u were not married or did I miss something???  I ask cause I actually have a 3 year old with another lady that I am in the late stages of a now 6 month custody battle so I was trying to avoid that road again and do the registration properly. This year I was actually was already given 2 60 day extentions off my Non-Imigrant 'ED' that I attempted to get a change of Status on. So I used up my 60 day extentions for the year for her as she was living with me before her mother took her and ran off to her village. Plus Ido not feel it to be a truly viable option as I intend to stay longer to support my family. In my court case, The court has actually ruled me as the father but until we reach a settlement, which I hope for daily, I dont have the court judgement available to me. But, I have custody of my 2 month old son I had my girlfriend and they both live with me and she readily admits I am the father and did at the Amphur. I have the Tabiaan Bahn with my name in it and the Birth certificate. And I can verify 40000 a month or 450000 for 2 months. U think They are going to tell me to get married or I have to go to take my girlfriend to court now also to prove that I am the father?  Will the officer not accept my girlfriends word that I am the father?

Just got back a couple days ago-
Got a single entry Non-immigrant O which is what I asked for. They kept the copies of my Daughters Birth Certificate. I had the original also. My first time at that thai consulate and never even went inside. I saw only a wall and a little guard hut with an eager guy named Jimmy. He has got a little deal where he just repeats the same shit over and over. Just make sure u know what u want and what u will pay. I could have figured it out and walked inside the walls I am assuming but this guy wanted to fill everything out and say express a bunch of times. I just was real clear about everything and what I planned to pay cause I knew what it cost. I gave that jimmy guy, and he is all official and stuff, jut likes a little drink. And I think he probably has a buddy inside run a couple for Jimmy so he can do this little express sideshow deal. Was promised it by 6PM and he showed up at my hotel at 9 am with my Non-Imm O single entry next day, I went down intending to send jimmy back to take ot the TV and get me ny non-imm O, shocker-twas all good and I snickered, he asked for a tip go get a drink and I said sorry I have lady upstairs, that mean I no more money, as I turned he said u have my number call me for next time. He was quite the character and was worth the 30 bucks to be Jimmys VIP, I may have been the first and last one. But he delivered what I told him to and was super duper early on the passport delivery time. He must do mostly tourist double entry cause he was like rainman with that line. Not have your paper filled out, his little guard shack is hot, but Jimmy can write like the best of Bitchezzz. I have no patience for penmanship but I think that may be how information is inputted to the Jimmy as he is meticulous, bordering annoying, but it was all the details for Jimmy to pin to his shirt for his 30 yard trek inside, I assume, as I left quickly with a prayer to God and semi-inebriated Jimmy with his newly greased palm. Hard for me to recommend Jimmy cause I can see so many possible things that could potentially go wrong-Personally-I will absolutely have Jimmy doing mine again. Just to hear him explaining visas was comic relief after the eight years of flaming hoop jumping backwards eyes closed with both arms and legs tied up in the back to stay legal.  and I think they actually offer next day pickup for free so I paid JImmy about 25 bucks for hotel delivery and his comedic visa jibberish, and also about the services which are nil, a form filled out by what looks like your Mom, I guess as much time as u like in his booth annoying him, I was bored after about 20 minutes. Basically which makes it even more hilarious and I was extremely satisfied... Suppose I just enjoyed his enthusiasm and his commitent to character when the gig is totally up from the absolute beginning that Jimmy isnt the right guy and his building isnt where the shit is supposed to be conducted. But he goes to these great lengths and so I went a long as no way somebody be that enthusiastic get some fool in the guard shack talk about visas and not deliver. He enthusiastically provides a rather useless service for bit of fee. BUt made my trip like easy peasy and I had fun at the consulate instead of some lady being all correct and organized and annoying frankly. BUt think your good to go in Phnom Phen, I was and was quick and dirty which sums it all up nicely;-/
