I wish you good luck. Getting your non-US spouse a green card to live with you in the US was challenging before the Dear Leader became POTUS on Jan 20th. I'd wager it's damn near impossible now.
hope Michael Sanderson (the guy who's post originally inquired about SSI & moving to TL) reads about your experience in the Phils. That being said, with DOGE causing a great shake-up in the SSA & other US govt agencies, if I were the person who is receiving SSI & planning on moving to TL, I'd call the SSA directly, to get the latest & most correct information but that's just me. I tend to be a little OCD where my monthly pension deposits are concerned.
I never said it was the gospel truth. I just said it's what AI returned for my inquiry. If it were me, I would be calling the SSA directly and ask them, not relying on a FB group for something I would imagine is very important to anyone moving to TL but to each his own.
Nothing wrong with getting involved with a younger Thai woman, I've been married to a Thai girl for 8 years and we have a fantastic marriage. However, I'd recommend you just be smart & watch for red flags. Asking for money is typically the first & most common.
