Hi, I’m flying to the US from Thailand and want to bring my Thai gf and she’s preparing for the tourist B1 visa. Wanted to hear of any others’ experiences with the visa interview as I’ve heard they’re extremely strict.

We’d be visiting for just 2 weeks.

Some questions:

Is it generally a good or bad look if she’s paying for herself and that she’s traveling with me? Or do they think Thais traveling with boyfriend is risky?

We’re gonna visit and stay at my sisters place in USA. Is having a US connection stronger or weaker?

Any particular red flags they’re looking out for?

Thanks in advance. I’ve heard Thai people get rejected very often so hoping for some advice.

Not sure where to ask this question. Today we went to the American Embassy. My Thai girlfriend had an appointment. We hope to get a B1 B2 visa for her to travel to America for holiday. I hired a Thai company to help us prepare all the documentation necessary for her application, checked all the boxes.

 According to the Visa company, she met all the requirements. Submitted a flawless application .

She just returned from her appointment at the Embassy. She was denied a B one B2 a Visa .

The reason, insufficient information. That’s it, no explanation of what the insufficient information was.
