He spoke a little Thai with Apple as well. Then he turned to me and kind of gave me a sprinkling of the 10th degree. "She seems great" he seemed to have decided, "Now let's make sure this isn't some asshole trying to fuck around with her!" I can't remember exactly but I think it lasted about 5 minutes.
Thing was we told him our specific plans to go back for about a month for the holidays this year. He didn't giver her an open ended tourist visa - it will expire I think in March or April and it's good for 6 weeks in country. So it's sort of specific to our story. Fine with me, but I don't know - perhaps in the past they were less sort of 'personalized'.
At that point she was unemployed but had good letters of recommendation in English from former bosses.
