What is the best visa agent in Bangkok for a Thai national wanting a US Tourist Visa?

My GF was denied, there wasn't even a lot of discussion about it. She's a government employee, has a son, but zero assets. We were completely honest in the application saying she was coming to visit me for 1 month on vacation. I provided an I34 affidavit of support but they didn't look at it. Any suggestions on how to get her over to see what life is like here?

lovely couple! all the best !

Hmm.. I applied for it with an invitation letter from my niece to stay at her place. Print all documentations including proof of income and bank account as well. They end up didn't ask me for anything. Just look at the application form and gave me 10 years tourist visa. BTW that was more than 5 years ago, not sure how difficult it will nowadays.

@Casanova ******

laughing at people’s happiness makes you look like a real LOSER by the way

@Casanova ******

why the laughing emoji?? Can you not stand the idea of someone being happy, just because all your relationships have failed??

Good luck Mike. Don’t listen to the ‘nay sayers’. I have my Thai wife here in UK with me now and could not be any happier 😊

Incidentally we did all the visa applications ourselves (tourist first then spouse) and had a few rejections but got there in the end. Don’t give up!

I'm wanting to do something similar. I wish there was a better way

If she's gonna be your bride, don't bother with the U.S. tourist visa. That will be much harder for her to qualify compared with if she is your wife. For U.S. visa purposes Wife = Family. Anything else: Girlfriend, Boyfriend, Fiancee, etc. = Just another Thai person wanting to get visit the USA.

The best way is to get married first then apply for her Green card at the US embassy at the same time you apply for her visa to enter Thailand. Without doing that it can take a year or more for her to get a visa, if she even gets one, but applying for her Green card at the same time only takes about three months more, and then she is set without having to apply for any more visas. Without doing this she would have to apply for a visa everytime even though you are married. It is best not to use an agent. It is pretty easy to do, it is just real involved, and even with an agent you can't get around that.

They say that the only advice that is welcome is that which is requested

Well you’re asking so here goes

“Don’t do it”

It will end in tears 😭

Probably your own

I used Siam also did a K-1 I think it was, had 90 days to get married in the states. Tried for a tourist visa twice with no luck.

Very hard to get a visa for Thai GF. Not impossible. But difficult. Alot easier to wait until after you are married. I tried for years. After we were married it was easy.

Applied for tourist visa to US in January for my girlfriend. We used Siam They do a mock interview. Also the wait time is long. Around months.

Good luck.

After you've been married for 2-3 years, then she can try and apply. Does she own real property? Have 1-2 million Baht in savings, etc.? She will need to bring these kinds of documents with her to the interview. They want to see good reason to return.

Married to my thai wife .....22 years now .....and would I do it again ...no friggin way 🤣🤣....

chock dee krub!

Sounds like a dream

Do it yourself, takes YOU the same amount of time as using an agent..The agent asks YOU to provide to the agency, all the information that YOU would submit to immigration, if doing it yourself.

Not likely to happen unless she has a great job to return to and owns property

Best of luck to you.

Agent not pretty much help you still need to prepare all documentation for them then they will fill forms DS160 for you. my suggestion is go to fill form DS160 by yourself follow they instructions. it not hard then summit after that booking date for interview (as i heard q for interview it super long right now pls start asap if you can ) visa get approved or not is depend on your fill form and her answer when they interview her .

“I” “don’t” “know”

There is no BEST visa agent and any agent that says they can guarantee a thai a US tourist visa is talking out their backside.

They can help you answer the questions correctly, on the app but NONE of them have pull enough to affect the outcome of the application.

It is 100% totally doable by you and your thai significant other online using the website of the US embassy to apply.

Remember the burden is on the thai to show sufficient thaiz 😮 err ties to thailand to LEAVE the US when their stay is up, not fall off the grid and overstay.

My wife of 17 years was denied tourist visas twice during the Trump administration despite having visited twice before under a previous tourist visa. A so-called agent told me that during the Trump administration they changed the policy. I don't know if it's been changed since.

Try couple of times you will finally get it.If u lucky .agent not necessary.

K1

Very difficult for a single Thai lady to be granted a US Visa. Before my wife and I were married, she was denied twice. 1st 2 tries, they never even considered looking at her supporting documents. (Proof of financial support, background checks for both of us, letter of guarantees, ….

We ultimately went to an agency for help after we gave up and married here. Initial application was denied and was told she needs to apply for “marriage visa”, green card. Application for a green card takes about 1yr, approved, made a trip to the US, then later surrendered the green card after a couple trips for a 10yr visa. We made only one trip to the US on the 10yr visa before this Covid crap.

Hmmm retired but will go back to America for business. Makes plenty of sense

Don’t use agents they useless and expansive lol

You don't need a visa company. Spend the time to learn what is needed. Sure, the USA is harder than many, all perhaps but it is simply a box ticking exercise and if you cannot pass a question, you have to change the application to suit or wait until you can.

Used these guys about 14 years ago, thought they did a good job.

It'll boil down to what she has in Thailand,home,business,family,money in the bank ect it's going to take awhile to get approved,my buddy used a lawyer in San Diego to get a fiancée visa it took well over a year Good Luck Buddy

If you don't have the correct information the visa company will still take your money and you still will not have a visa, the most important thing you can have is g/f work history present employer with letter saying she allowed time to go USA and she will be returning, if you don't have that don't waste your money.

Good luck with that tourist visa. Very hard to get for a Thai girl. My wife tried and was denied like most all.

If you want to bring her to the US do the K-1 fiancé visa.

Took me 5-6 months with immigration attorney and she was here.

It's been over 15 yrs ago, but the IOM was helpful.

You can try, but they may or may not approve it until you've been married for at least a year or two.

Get married.

So far I've seen a lot of people say they have been successful getting a tourist visa for their wife, including me. Has anyone been successful in getting their girlfriend or fiance a tourist visa (not fiance visa)? Back when my wife was only my girlfriend she was denied simply because she had an American boyfriend because they thought she would overstay. Told her to apply for the fiance visa instead. We reapplied for a tourist visa after we were married and she was approved.

My thai wife of 3 years now .

So she is getting visa as a spouse or fiancé?

If spouse it’s actually easy that you can do it yourself. If it’s for fiancé I’d suggest you find an agent based on US first to consult (there are many in big cities like LA/NY/SF)

Anyway good luck, it’s US visa won’t be too difficult if you are legit and clean citizen

from what i have been told it is a lot easier to get if you book a tour (whether you actually go on the tour or not)

lot's of info here

I can see what she ate for breakfast.

Save yourself the money and the headache and do it online only cost about 560 and after completion you set the interview date and in less than two weeks so all up a month I was able to get my wife her tourist visa

I'd suggest doing it yourself. The paperwork is repetitious but not difficult. My wife and I did all of our own right up to Citizenship. Not one glitch or misstep.

Try a guy named Jim Styers. TBA business services I think is the name of the company. I used him about 10 years ago when taking wife to The US ..She is now a US citizen and we are back in Thailand, so he helped us accomplish the mission. Good luck

Good luck. Let us know how it goes
