How can I help my Thai girlfriend apply for a tourist visa to visit the US?

The weather is just wonderful too I hear.

@Todd ********

That's why I said, check the embassy's website. Everything else is speculative.

@John ******

I can’t comment on that as I have no personal experience with that scenario. A friend of mine who was quite wealthy brought his Thai GF to the states and married her on the fiancé Visa. He got divorced later and tried to bring another GF onto the states without a fiancé Visa and was refused. He had a monthly income of $30,000. She had no skills or property

@Andy *******

oh come on, don't even let me get started about Thai politics. It is the coup d'etat capital of the world. It has no democracy. The guy that got the most votes got scammed out of his seat by the "real" players behind the scene. The politics is the real House of Cards. It's amazing with all the behind the scene negotiating and backstabbing. America is not perfect, and most Americans are stupid. But it is the flaws that allow you to make your fortune. All you need in America is your talent and your perseverance. They don't care about your race as long as your produce them the greenbacks.

@Todd ********

yes, people don't understand that America is a hustle society. We are actually the hardest working country on Earth. The amount of grind and sweat that I put in Los Angeles for the last 15 years wore me out. But I am glad I am able to retire in Thailand currently at my age.

@James ***********

you tell that to all the people that are crossing the southern border illegally.

@Andy *********

The US is huge, the southern states are as hot as Thailand.

have a try just submit an application with everything required tell the truth about the wedding and your intention to return. You never know if you don't try. You listen to all the stories here and you will freak out. Just give it a try the longer you wait the less chance and disappointment.each application is taken on its merits good luck.

@Jay *********

I understand, the the US government is stubborn. My ex Thai gf was given a 10 year tourist visa to the US but she works for Cathy Pacific. You can get approved, but the steps are going to be crazy hard. Interviews after interviews and it is not going to be easy.

@Jay *********

What is the date of the wedding?

@Jay *********

too many silly assumptions that EVERYONE enters USA intending to stay. Good luck with the visa, I've heard it can take a while.

@Lynnette ******

I agree with Nek, just because some Americans are leaving the US doesn't mean others don't want to live there. Tens of thousands of people immigrate to the US every year. A woman from Thailand can make very good money working in the US to either send to her family or save to use on her return to Thailand in 5 or more years. That's why I plan on going back to the US with my Thai wife so she can build a nest egg before I die. Also you would be suprised how many Thai people live in the US.

@Lynnette ******

Because she can make 10x the $$$

So many overstay.

@Lynnette ******

its because lots of thais do this to not only in usa but in other countries like Korea for better pay. They are considered high risk for overstaying statistically.

@Lynnette ******

because she would make 10x as much in the US than Thailand

@Lynnette ******

Correct my wife has been offered loads of jobs overseas, she is not interested.

@Andy *********

never mention she is your gf. Like someone said “I am going to go see Disneyland”

@James ********

if you do it yourself the only cost is the application fee $185. Getting an agent is useless as they cannot accompany her to the House interview (the most important part of the process). She has to prove significant ties to Thailand, stable job with good income,bank account, land or house ownership car, etc. Attention She will never get approved saying she wants to meet her boyfriend’s parents.  she would have a better chance saying she wants to visit Disneyland. Sorry but all of this is true. Do your research on the best way to get her visa approved. It took me two times to get my wife’s visa approved, and that’s after my wife had already been to America on a fiancé visa and she returned to Thailand because she decided she did not want to live in the US. So that’s why we decided to apply for a tourist visa. It still took her two attempts.
