How likely is it for my Thai girlfriend to get a visa to the US in three months?

@Ross *******

true, but nearly impossible to do without lying. They ask on the application who is traveling with her.

@Rogerio *****

Thanks for that Rogerio! I guess she just filled out the form as best she could and threw her money away. I told her a Visa Agent probably could've helped. I was told that USA have a quota system and once the limit is exceeded no one is getting in. Of course, they continue to accept Visa applications pocketing the fees although they're going to refuse all applications.

I'll have to ask her that! Don't know how much the car was worth, hopefully she had some left over? Incidentally, sister-in-law applied for a work visa to Australia and was also turned down. Knowing what goes on in the 'English-speaking Countries' I consider they've a nerve refusing Thai's. They're the least of their worries.

@อาจารย์ ******

no, they would put her on a plane in the middle of the night and drop her at the destination of her choice pending an immigration hearing.

good question. But I wonder if a Thai can fly to tijuana and then enter the US playing the same asylum game as central American refugees.

@Alain **********

Do it legally, like it should be. You lefties act like that's a crime...smdh

@Rogerio *****

you are aware the the applicant has to pass all the background checks first, including the department of homeland security. There is no scheduling anything until that is complete, and it is a slow process.

@Ross *******

why would having a man involved make it “not the case”? Do all tourists have to be single and unattached?

@Kent ********

I completely agree. What makes no sense to me is that I can apply for and most likely get her a green card (eventually) giving her potential access to social security benefits as well as other programs that would cost the US government money but they wouldn't let me bring her home to meet my mom before she died and then her return to TL.

@Ter***

the fiancé visa application was really thorough as you would expect. But it will be no different than a marriage visa application. Lots of questions about her family, when did you meet, how, where, etc etc. You have to show photos of you together. Call logs, chat logs. Basically you are proving you truly know each other. I showed multiple itineraries from trips to Thailand.

Once approved we went to Hawaii where I was living and got married literally the next day. Then we could apply for her green card. That also only took 4 months.

According to the lawyer I used it was considerably easier to do it as a fiancé than if we got married in Thailand and applied that way. So I would recommend a fiancé visa based on that.

As far as her traveling with you it certainly makes it easier for her to obtain visas as the souse of an American than as a single Thai lady. But she’ll still fall under the rules of a Thai until she gets that blue passport.

One good thing is when entering the states from abroad they don’t separate you. They literally said “we don’t separate families. So even if your wife is not a citizen you go to the American citizens line.”

did my wife's in 2012 and very quick. Showed her reasona to return such as job , joint US and Thai Banks Accounts several years old, land, her professional degree, and my ties to Thailand which reflected we had no desire to remain in in the US.

Her interview was 3 minutes. .

@Kool ******

this was 2015. We applied in May and she had the visa in hand in September. Not like that anymore.

@Kool ******

I think the current timeline is near a year

@อาจ****

Be respectful, it was a legitimate question.
