...how confused or angry would a group or family be to have 2 or 3 people get one date...and the other half...who all get stamped in within seconds or minutes of each other...get a totally different date. It would make the immigration dept. look incompetent if the same plane had 2 different dates for the first and last days of their vacation.
You mentioned they requested additional information....how far back did they ask for?...and did you originally supple the info but didn't go back far enough. (Just trying to figure out if there is an official amount of time they want you to go back or it's just arbitrary.)
ahhh....that does make sense now. I do remember seeing that many times on the Aussie Border Crossing show. I can see how knowing somebody there can make it make it more suspicious.
But I have never seen one where they pulled a person out when a non-resident of that country while traveling with a resident of that country and they alprared to be a couple...but it has been a while since I have seen that show.
And if traveling alone to meet them I wonder if the idea of bringing a few of their copied pages from their passport that would match up with the visas on the person's entering passport to show they travel together.
Just throwing it out there...as I was only wondering. Thanks for the reply, that did help with your explanation.
just wondering how they would know you have a wife/husband (if a marriage visa wasn't in the passport) or a gf/bf if you dont mention during the interview.
I would think saying or showing you have some sort of "sponsor" to a husband/wife or bf/gf and they will be traveling with, the interviewee would be better than saying just traveling alone or with a group of other thai friends...?
I have never tried to help or "coach" a person on trying to get a tourist visa to the US. Truly just wondering for future knowledge.
Just wondering if those that were denied....did they have visas to other countries to show or prove they do travel and then return back to thailand at the end of the visa they were approved for of the visa in their passport.
Just wondering if a few short term "vacations" to other countries to show they do travel and return back to thailand would at least soften up the interviewer by showing a consistent leaving and coming back home would work? Also bring or show a copy of the pages of your (the bf or husband) passport to show the vacations were taken together and returned together....anybody tried this as a possible method?
Not sure if this was on the list...but a good repair person. Everybody says "yes...can do"...even if they have never done it before. Ask around as there is no need to vet another "can do" guy.
And then when they are doing the "repair, painting, plumbing or electrical work just be around to poke your head over a shoulder every once in a while. The stories I have heard or seen at my place would be a book or...3...of WTF moments in the history of home repairs.
Bathrooms showers that still do not drain after 2nd time of them trying...even with a laser leveler. Electrical plugs put in spots that were told not to...and even crossing out their markings on the wall with an arrow to the exact spot I wanted it. Curtains that were screwed into drywall with nothing behind it to hold...all they needed was maybe just a second screw closer than the 1.5 or 2 meters apart. And this was after I had to supply the step ladder and screwdriver that they forgot when bringing the new curtains to install. Interior sliding door railing that was riveted into an aircon metal duct that pulled through and some how then broke the glass in the door....more to the list but my head is throbbing now.
