At the time of this writing, the United States Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand is closed due to the political unrest in the urban areas surrounding the Embassy compound. That being said, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) Centers in the United States are likely not impacted by this state of affairs. As a result, USCIS is processing petitions in much the same manner as usual. Below are the current USCIS processing time estimates for commonly filed US Family Immigration Petitions:
