@Abigail *******

you’re welcome.

@Brandon ***********

correct my mistake.

@Abigail *******

my wife, got the tourist visa on her second attempt good for 10 years multiple entry. She had already been in the United States on a K-1 visa and we returned to Thailand because she did not want to live full-time in the United States. The problem with the CR1 visa is you are not allowed into the United States until your application for permanent residency has been approved by USCIS. My suggestion would be if you’re not married yet to apply for a K-1 fiancé visa they can be approved in as little as nine months. The only requirement is once your fiancé comes to the US. You must be officially married in the US within nine months.

The last time I looked into it, John, your wife has to be a legal resident of the US and must have been living in the United States for a minimum of five years prior to your death. There are some other requirements that I don’t know of offhand, but I believe those are the two main requirements.

@Stuart ********

since he mentioned that no provider in the UK would provide a income certificate. I would assume he’s coming from the UK.

@Uday *******

sorry you had a bad experience🙁

@Wylie ******

in my opinion the K3 visa is easier because it allows her to come to the United States prior to her non-immigrant permanent residency is approved. The CR1 I believe has to be approved by USCIS before she can come to the United States, which can be a year to 18 months depending on their backlog.

I do the same and I have a regular Thai married Visa. The only thing you have to remember is when you leave to go back to the US make sure number one you are back before your Extension expires. And two you get a re-entry permit. My extension always expires on 31 January and I go in December to apply for my new extension usually 45 days before 31 January because that’s what they allow in my province. At the I time of the extension application I get a 30 day under consideration stamp, which starts the day my current extension expires, so then I come back on 28 February and get my one year stamp. Same routine every year. My wife came to the US on a fiancé visa we got married she decided she did not want to live in the US because there was no Thai culture around where I live. So we both came back to Thailand and she applied for a tourist visa, which is good for 10 years multiple entry And of the six months that I am in the US. She comes and stays three months then we go back together. Your wife cannot work in the US legally without a work permit and you can only get that if you apply for a change of status (Application for permanent Residency). Hope this helps a little. I do understand that it’s easier to get a fiancé visa K1 then a. K3 marriage visa.

@Greg *****

since your embassy doesn’t provided proof of income I would get whatever proof of income you have, get it translated, then send it to Ministry of Foreign Affairs to get their stamp. Then See if immigration will accept that. Just a thought.

@John ******

you know you had four years of being able to rant and rave about Donald Trump like a little baby looking for his tit. I should’ve thought that you would’ve learned your lesson back then it might’ve gotten tired of it, but I see it’s not gonna happen with people like you
