			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many sites claim that a U.S. Tourist Visa is a simple document to get. They make it seem as if it is the right visa to get a Thai girl to America for marriage. But as this article will point out, a tourist visa is often not the best measure for a Thai would like to immigrate to USA.Turistvisum granted discretion to the Immigration officerDet first problem with the tourist visa is to have a very arbitrary. When I am at the American Embassy I always hear all over the allegation: &#8220;I can not give you a visa to the United States,&#8221; usually seems to be saying that a person who wants to get a tourist visa to the United States. In fact, I heard an officer of law, &#8220;You must show strong ties to Thailand and you have not shown strong enough ties for me to issue this visa.&#8221; That officer was right. Immigration officers must look at all applications for visas with the presumption that the applicant (for our purposes a Thai fiance? Will live indefinitely in the U.S. and they should be admitted. That said, it is on the Thai applicant to prove this presumption incorrect . the way for a Thai fiance? to do this is to prove that she has strong ties to Thailand (ie, the Thai is so tied to Thailand that she will return to Thailand after staying in the U.S. for a short while). Ways to demonstrate strong ties to Thailand essentially come down to money. If the Thai fiance? Have a well-paying job (by U.S. standards), a lot of money, a home in Thailand, or investments in Thailand these factors can be used to show that a Thai fiance? Have strong ties to Thailand. Another factor is the American fiance? If American citizens have a job and strong ties to Thailand and will return with the Thai fiance? then Immigration will likely look more favorably on the application for a tourist visa . It should be noted again that this visa is entirely arbitrary. Even if the applicant shows all kinds of ties to Thailand, the Immigration Officer may still reject the application based on little more than magkänsla.Oddsen to get a tourist visa for a Thai Fiancée is a bad fact is : the Tourist Visa has about a 95% rejection rate among Thai applicants. It is simply not an effective way to get a Thai fiance? In the United States. Why would you spend time and money to go up against the odds? It may be a crime to take a Thai Fiancée to the U.S. on a tourist visa and get married, a tourist travel visa is just what its name implies: a visa to travel around the United States. It is not intended to be used to achieve a Thai fiance? To the U.S. with the intent to marry with her and keep her. If you intend to use a tourist visa to get your Thai fiance? to the U.S. to marry, then it can be considered as an attempt to defraud the U.S. government. The opportunity to found to have defrauded the government increases if you and your Thai fiance? Immediately marry and try to adjust their status as permanent housing. If you and your Thai fiance? found to be trying to deceive the authorities that could lead to punishment and deportation for your Thai fiance? Use the correct Visa to Thai Fiancée to America, even if the process of getting a Thai fiance? The U.S. is frustrating and time consuming many complications can be avoided by not raised by the alleged enticement on a tourist visa. Ultimately, the benefits of tourist visas far outweighed by the disadvantages. If you want your Thai fiance? or her spouse to come to America to live with you, then use either a K1 fiance? Visa or a K-3 or Immigrant Relative Spouse visa. Although these visas seem to take longer and cost more money, in fact, takes less time because you and your Thai fiance? will not be hitting any dead ends and will not throw away money on a visa that you have only a 5% chance that få.Tack of Reading, Benjamin W.
