the K1 is a fiancé visa. Same horror stories as all the ones in this thread. And to be fair the day she went most were denied. But they were doing tourist visas and were not married.
With a legit relationship and proper preparation you will be fine. I know married couples that were denied but in the end it was because they asked her a few questions she couldn’t answer.
Where are you going? She didn’t know.
Why are you doing a tourist visa and not permanent residency? She didn’t know.
We did the first ones ourselves. Went to Laos for the 90 day to enter on and converted it. Wasn’t hard. But that depends on the office. We were in Ubon. Anywhere outside of BKK or Pattaya I would say do it yourself. The reason I say that is they make it exceedingly difficult in those locations. First renewal was BKK. Seven trips to CW to get it done.
To the point, 95,000 is huge money for a 1900 baht visa and a 1900 baht extension.
Apples and oranges but people that don’t even have the money and get fake bank letters only pay 25K (ish) for retirement extensions.
