yeah we did as well. I have heard of attorneys charging as much as 3-5k or even more. This guy never once asked for more money, at least until my wife was here and he then assisted with the green card application. I think he charged us $450 for that. Good luck!

This is the lawyer we used to get my wife her K-1 visa. They only charged us $1000 US and did a damn fine job. They were responsive to emails and it was so nice having an actual attorney doing the paperwork as opposed to an agent that maybe is doing it correctly………and maybe not. Anyway hope this helps!

that was fast! I started the K-1 process in March of 2021 and we finally got everything approved in February 2023. So about 22-23 months. It was during the height of Covid so that’s part of the reason. It all worked out as she’s here in The US with me and everything is good now. 😎🙏😎

now that’s a great idea because you’re right EVA has the same flight number I used on our trip in January as they did 5 years ago. Thanks again!

ok so still trying to clarify this. You are saying I can avoid the headache of filling out the Non-O marriage visa application online here in The US, and then after I get to Thailand I can do the visa app there, get the bank acct, etc?

@Jacques ****
so you are saying that you can do the Non-O marriage visa AFTER arriving in Thailand? I have seen agents that said they will assist with that but wasn’t sure it was true. I thought you had to do the visa here in The US and then come there and get the bank acct, etc.

hey Brandon you helped me a couple days ago and I really appreciate your knowledge on this subject. I am now filling out the application for a Non-O-marriage visa as it looks like the best option for me. But I have another question I’m hoping you can help me with; partway through the application it ask for flight info which I do not have as moving there is contingent on selling our condo. It will NOT let you continue the app without entering that info. I will wait and enter it after we sell and I book a flight, but the problem is it also asks for RETURN flight information and I intend to book one way. Do you know how to get around this or is that even possible? Thanks in advance if you are able to help!

ok I want the Non-O marriage. For me it looks like that’s the best option. It’s the most used, least hassle, and also least expensive, ie only 400k baht instead of 800k for the Non-O retirement. Once again your expertise has been most useful and is greatly appreciated. Take care and thanks again!
