K1 Visa in Thailand

The K1 Visa Process is best explained in a 9 step process. If you need more information about the K1 Visa process then call us on our tollfree US telephone number for more assistance 24 hours a day.

The first step of the K1 Visa is to ensure that you have retained an immigration lawyer and that you meet the financial requirements of the K1 visa as has been explained before.

Step two is when you complete our questionnaire to ensure that all documentation has been collected and that you are able to apply for the visa. This ensures that every single question has been covered and that you are able to apply in the first place.

Step three is the application to the USCIS. All the documents are collected and we will assist your fiancée with the collection of all the needed documents. Once this is complete we will forward it to you for your signature. By this time everything that is needed has been attached and the forms have been completed in full.

Step four is when the documents have been forwarded to USCIS and they send you a letter to confirm it. This is called ‘Notice of Action 1′.

Step five is when USCIS processes the forms and this typically takes 2-3 months to complete. The USCIS process is what makes the process so long. If there are documents short or documents not collected this is where the process will drag on and highlights why doing it correct the first time around is important. Any delay – this is where it would be.

Step six is when it is approved and sent to the National Visa Center. They will send you a notice to tell you about this. This is called ‘Notice of Action 2′.

Step seven is when the National Visa Center will take 2-3 weeks to either approve or turn down the visa. From here the matter is sent on to the US Embassy in Bangkok for attention.

Step eight is the interview process. The embassy will notify the lawyers or your fiancée about the date for the interview. They may also request more information or documents that you would be required to bring along. Certain documents might still need to be translated and obtained so speak to a lawyer about this before hand. We always send an immigration lawyer with to the interviews not only as a translator but when a misunderstanding could occur.

Step nine is when the visa is granted.

The process might sound simply but the small mistakes can cause the matter to drag on for a year or more if not done properly. always ensure that you use an attorney for this process. Call us today or chat with us on our main website. Better yet simply walk into any of our offices in Thailand or send your fiancée to one of our offices in Bangkok, Pattaya, Hua Hin, Samui, Chiang Mai or Phuket.

K3 Visa in Thailand

If you are married to a Thai citizen then you can apply for a K3 visa for your wife. It takes bit longer that a K1 Visa however the process of obtaining citizenship later is much shorter and easier.

It is always best to speak to an immigration attorney in Thailand when making application for a US Visa. The K3 Visa process is best summed up as follows:

1. File a petition for a foreign spouse;
2. If there are children file for a K4 Visa for the children;
3. If the children are not yours then you need to speak to a lawyer;
4. File the petition with the Vermont or California Service Center;
5. Once you have a USCIS receipt file a K3 with the National Benefits Center;
6. Once NBC approves it, it goes to the National Visa Centre;
7. Once this is done they will forward it to the US Embassy in Bangkok;
8. The Embassy arranges for the interview;
9. Once they are satisfied she will get a K3 Visa issued.

The K3 Visa is a “multiple entry” visa which means that she will be able to travel freely unlike the K1 Visa which will only allow you into the US and you can only leave the US on a K1 Visa after applying for advance parole. The K3 Visa is a much better option than the K1 Visa for this reason alone.

The K3 Visa visa also allows oyu wife to work when she enters the United States after she has applied for a social security card and an EAD (Employment Authorization Document). Again much better than the K1 Visa and just another benefit of the K3 Spouse Visa. If you are planning on taking your wife back to the US then speak to us first:

1. We offer 100 percent money back guarantee on our Gold Package;

2. We have qualified US Immigration Attorneys;

3. We offer the lowest price;

Fiancee Visa Financial Requirements

If you are looking at taking your fiancée back to the United States then you need to meet the financial requirements for the Fiancee Visa. These are the 2009 table for a fiancée visa to the US.

What you need to show is that you meet the fiancee visa financial requirements as required by law. This is 125% over the poverty line. The poverty line is listed below for you to calculate if you meet the requirements. If you are military personnel then you only need to show that you meet the poverty line.

The US government also takes into consideration the amount of money in your bank account or a mortgage free house or what has already been paid off from the home loan. A quick example is that you own a house with a home loan of USD 100,000 however you have already paid off USD 50,000. They then take this USD 50,000 which has been repaid and divide it by 5 to add USD 10,000 to your income to push you over the poverty line. The same goes with say a bank balance of USD10,000 then they will divide it by 5 and add USD 2,000 to your income to calculate if you are above the poverty level.

If you require any further assistance then call out toll-free US number 24 hours a day for more information. You can also speak to us online via our chat messenger on our main website. Speak to us today!

2009 POVERTY GUIDELINES FOR IMMIGRANT VISA PROCESSING (125% of Poverty Line)

K1 Visa in Thailand

You can apply for a K1 Visa in Thailand for your Thai fiancée. Speak to our US Immigration attorneys in Thailand about helping you to start the process. These are the basics for the US Fiancee Visa process in Thailand.

In order to apply for a K1 Visa in Thailand you need to be a US Citizen to use this visa to take your fiancée back to the United States. If you are a permanent resident of the United States then you cannot make use of this visa. As stated, it’s for US citizens only. You should also remember that if you fiancée has been to the US before and had overstayed her visa, she will not be allowed another visa. The application will simply be turned down. Also remember that if she has a criminal record in Thailand that will count against her and again depending on what this is she will be turned down. Speak to one of our US Immigration Lawyers about her criminal record or if she had overstayed a visa before.

The United States government also does not allow you to bring your fiancée to the US on a K1 Visa and not marry her. You have to marry her once you are back in the United States. If you change your mind after she arrives in the US, she will have to leave the US before her visa expires or she will be deported. On an important note, there is a limitation on how many times you can apply for a fiancée visa for  the US. If you have done it on more than 2 occasions, the US government will take a dim view of your applications. Speak to our lawyers if you have brought a fiancée to the US before without getting married so that our lawyer can explain to you the limits and the restrictions.

The financial requirements for the fiancée visa is not the same for everyone. Each state has its own financial limits and active duty military members have an even lower financial requirement. Check with our lawyers as to what you financial requirements would be if you are planning on taking your fiancée back to the US.

The fiancee visa in Thailand takes on average 6-7 months to obtain from first application. The process has to be started in the US however is you have lived in Thailand for a very long time without returning to the US the US Embassy in Bangkok will allow you to file all your documents in Bangkok. Again, they will decide if you are a resident of Thailand or not before application.

If you need any advice with regards to the US fiancée visa, then call us toll-free on our US telephone number on our main website or speak to us live on our chat messenger on our main website. Speak to us today and start the process tomorrow.
