My Thai fiancée has been approved for a K1 visa to the USA. There are a few more steps before she will go for her interview in possibly 4 to 5 months. The question I have is, I know the K-1 visa states that we have plans to live permanently in the United States. I am retired so we plan on traveling back and forth, splitting our time between the two countries. she has family here in Thailand and owns her own home and farm. I have family in the United States and live with my sister at her house. Has anyone been in the same situation and has their K-1 Visa been rejected because of not staying in the United States permanently ? I have stated these plans of splitting time between the 2 countries to the USCIS. Now the approval goes to the UVC for processing before it is approved and sent to the US Embassy in Bangkok. Any suggestions would be appreciated….
