I am considering the DTV for Workcation - I am not a freelancer but have several virtual jobs that I can provide documentation for income and employment. How do I have my employment contract or employment certificate authenticated by a US embassy for the DTV application?

Just applied for my DTV visa at a Thai embassy (walk-in) as a business owner with a few LLCs in the U.S. They accepted the documents I provided and will be picking it up 5 days from now.

UPDATE: Apprently, I’m “supposed” to provide details otherwise I’m just flexing LOL

I went to a Thai embassy that offers walk-in or advanced appointment so I know precisely when and what time to pick up my passport.

I have a business and to increase my chances, I printed a lot of documents which was about 70 pages.

What is the fastest time anyone has gotten their US passport back after renewing it recently? Have been told by embassy that the 5 to 6 week published time frame might be more like 7 to 8 weeks or even 9. Been asked many times by others as I am the CVL here in Tak and Embassy/ Consulate seems to hedge on the question. Anyone know more or less?
