Why was my wife's US visitor visa application denied despite strong documentation?

David **********

What challenges do foreigners face when opening a bank account in Thailand?

David **********

For some reason this process is very unpredictable and each bank makes up ita own rules. Some places make it really complicated..Just go somewhere else however and it can be very easy. I can't make it make sense but that is the reality.
