not true at all, and i believe you meant to respond to the op not me. My wife and I got married in Thailand and then she got a "visitor" visa after we were married. So I know as a fact it can be done. If a couple has absolutely no intention of living in the US there is no need for her to get a CR1, k1 visa or US citizenship.

As far as your suggestion for a Thai female to get a "visitor" visa and then go to the US and get married that is extemely frowned upon. If one plans on getting married in the US they should apply for the K1 visa prior to going. It's also EXTREMELY difficult for a Thai female to get a tourist visa because of exactly that. Most women are rejected unless they can show very strong ties and reasons they won't just stay in the US. Being married to a US citizen that has moved to Thailand is a valid enough reason.

i guess i get what you are saying , but the op asked if she will need a visa and your reply made it sound as if you are saying that is the only way to enter the US . She can 100% get a tourist visa with a Thai passport and enter the US. No need to to become a citizen and get a US passport.

Nobody seems to mention her simply getting a tourist visa after you are married. If you plan on living here then there is no need to go through the hassle of the CR1 or K1. The odds of a Thai woman being denied the tourist visa is typically high, but if you state your intentions to move to Thailand on her application it improves the odds. That's how my wife got her tourist visa, after being denied several times before we were married and before I moved here.

a Thai passport with a visa does it too. Depending on their plans maybe they don't need to go through the whole process for her to be a citizen, or can't even if they don't plan on living in the US. My wife got a tourist visa after we were married because it's all she needs based on our plans.

I'd normally 100% agree, but there are reasons it will go higher. Even financial institutions that normally avoid giving target prices for crypto have started to, and they all have targets with significant upside. With one as much as 4-5 times higher than its current value in a few years. I don't know that I buy that, but am starting to be convinced it will still double in that time frame.

Perhaps you are confusing non-o visa with a tourist visa. A non-o you can get in country, along with the 1 year extensions. A tourist visa cannot be obtained in country.

Just use Google flights instead of a site like Expedia or other travel sites. They give the price of all those plus the airline directly. After selecting your flights they give links directing you to the checkout of each one of those sites. Much easier.

Oddly enough sometimes booking directly with the airline, but through the link Google flights gives, is actually cheaper than going to their own website/app and booking the exact same flights. I just booked round-trip flight from Bangkok to Chicago and it was 10% cheaper this way. Several more local flights I've booked this way were also cheaper. So you can get a discounted price over their own and still get the benefits of booking directly, like it being much easier to change anything.

from AAA in Wisconsin they are valid for 1 year, but most countries and insurance agencies will only recognize it for 3 months consecutively in a country.

@Ernesto *******

not all. I retired at 42 with just under 1 million. I moved here and five years later my net worth is 20% more than when I retired.

Start with the education visa first as others have suggested. Who knows, after a year here you may end up qualifying for the marriage visa🤣
