Well, I will wait, if it’s easier.

@Tod ********

Great, thanks! How soon can I do that before my retirement visa expires in July?

Can I just switch to the marriage/banked income from retired/banked income before I leave then? And then switch to the marriage/monthly in November?

Even better, you had me worried! So I am good with all that, the /40. So why can’t I come in on a tourist visa from September until November, when I will have 12 months of 40k+ deposits, then apply for the marriage visa?

@Tod ********

Deposit 400k baht each and every month? I thought it was 45k for a marriage visa?

@Jonathan *******

Nope, and it is always stressed that even having a visa does not guarantee entry, it is up to the immigration officer whether or not you get in and how long you can stay.

A friend arrived in the US with his Thai wife and child at the airport, he went in the citizen line with the kid and she went in the foreigner line. Well, he did not prep her well, so when she was asked if she was going to work she said yes. She was told that she didn’t have the right visa and was sent back to Thailand, leaving my friend with their kid in the US!

I was told only county clerks make marriages official and that is where you need to go to have it done in Pennsylvania, you have to check with your state:

“Do I need to register my marriage with the embassy or consulate to be recognized in the United States? No. To know if your marriage will be recognized in the United States and what documentation may be needed, contact the office of the Attorney General of your state of residence in the United States.”

Just got approved, very nice system, as long as it works like this!

Why rejected?
