My wife's sister was a proper pharmacist in Pattaya and asked me if I could get her a visa to the US. With the licenses, money in the bank and property, she was given a 10 year visa, but had to re-enter every 6 months to stay legal. She got a great job as a chef in a Thai restaurant in PA., makes $100/ day, pays taxes (questionable), travels around quite a bit, and speaks perfect english now. She sends the Ms. money to keep her car in shape and to renew the insurance and tags. She's sent money here so we could build her a house on a piece of my 20 rai, money for her father and my full time worker.
It's been about 7 years since she's been back. Like one say's "Livin' the dream".
