@Eric ******

I have a friend in Thailand Thats Exactly That, well she is 55 but looks good, owns a couple pieces of land and her house is on 3 Rai, newer build with nice wall around entire property, Cleared and clean, every moron she talks to is a scammer she tells me, or want to see her bit's after 2 minutes of talking

, The US is not any better, will let the southern boarder run wide open for 3 years but Deny legit Tourist's going the Legal route, and have let Crime go completely unchecked, I'm Retiring in Thailand in Sept, cant get rid of Things fast enough...

, You are correct , would be hard to cover that up, I will wish you luck in convincing them your wife is only wanting to come for a visit, They believe everyone wants to come here and stay, but you might want to double check and see if there is some kind of spouse visitor VISA available, seems like someone was talking about something like that a while back, I did think you were asking about a GF since thats what the OP was asking about, Hope it works out well for you and your wife

, if she is applying for a US tourist VISA make sure she can show she has EVERYTHING in Thailand going for her and to come back for and Do Not Mention anything about Her American Boy friend, if she says anything about you its done and they will say apply for a marriage

, EXACTLY, never bring up American Boy friend in the process...

She HAS to have everything going for her when she applies The first time, if she cant show Home, Business, Job, Big Ties to her Country to come back to, and if she says ANYTHING about going to visit American Boy Friend its a instant Deny and its in the system so if you apply again in say six months she will still be Denied, so you would have the best shot for the 90 day marriage VISA, and yes been there , done that, my girl had Zero interest in staying in the US, just wanted to visit a couple weeks in the winter to see things here and Snow, she been with the Same Hospital 13 year, owns her Condo Kids and Family, 2 brothers Thai Police , but as soon as she mentioned staying with me it was over, Good Luck

Always ask if thats the whole Hand
