dubai thai farang

My wife was denied a tourist visa to the states when we were living in Dubai. It was a 2 minute interview I think in which time she has to prove / present evidence to obtain the visa. She didn't present my salary statement from my work which was the key evidence as it would prove we had a reason to return. That I think was the reason it was denied. The interview was a surprise and I think caught her off guard. therefore my advice is be prepared!

I worked back in the early 2000s in Thailand but the money wasn't right and I was in the best company for the job I do. I therefore moved on to the Middle East and made a good living. I did love the idea of a digital nomad life but it seemed to be IT guys. Since covid thats changed. I came on holiday from the UK and did two months still working for my company in London and nobody knew anything different. At some point I will return to this as it's great but we now have to turn up 1/2 times a week in the office now sadly!. I should add I get 300 UK a day so was just working to UK hours. I was pretty unmonitored however now much more accountable. Its a TV role editing.
