    Usa / B2 Visa For Thai Partner

    in Visas and migration to other countries

    Posted · Edited by hellohello

    Hi guys,

    Well here we go again, we have just secured an appt next week for my Thai husbands 2nd b2 visa to the USA. He went last week and was denied because we lost one piece of paper! My current 2009 visa stamp!!! We had 06, 07, 08, subsequently they never looked at anything else, like the fact we file 1040 and 2555 taxes for 3 years and running... which would unequivocally confirm my permenat status and his employment.

    So this is what we have to re submit:

    Basically its all the same papers we had before - but we hope this time they will look at it! Suggestions comments greatly appreciated!!

    -Ownership and management of a tour business ---- we've run a tour business for 7 years and we have print outs of our website - brochures, photos, trip advisor reviews - magazine articles from Phuket Magazine & Fay Thai /Bangkok Air about us and our tour company, current captains license, boat registration, annual safety insurance, booking schedules, tax payments and local tax for signage at our house at the local Tessa ban.

    -4 years of visa stamps for my NON IM O based on marriage

    -Ownership of 2 houses

    -Ownership of 3 Rai of Land

    -Ownership of another rental property in SE Asia

    -Ownership of a Toyota truck and Motorcycles

    -Marriage licenses for 4 years/ partner 7 years

    -100k thb in joint Thai bank account

    - Current copies of U.S. Joint Tax forms 1040 & Form 2555 for 2006, 2007 & 2008 and his INTI number

    -Letter of invitation from my brother in California

    -Return tickets and travel insurance

    thanks for your advice!!

    near where I live its very expensive too like ko chang - with bars , hotels, villas and shops. a while back the land office told everybody if they were operating a buss. they would have to leave on one particular beach, but houses could stay- but nothing happened. the fee they have been charging is 200k per rai change the title from bt5 to ns3. most of the land i speak of is ocean front- we guess about half of the island is bt5 land.

    Going To The U.s. -- The Other Way Around

    Hello TV,

    We are planning our first trip to my home country next summer. We will apply for a US tourist visa for my Thai husband. I’m fairly confident that it will be granted as we can prove our ties to Thailand. A successful Thai business, houses, land and my permanent O visa. We've been together for over 7 years - legally married for over 3. He has a US tax ID number since we file my US taxes as a married couple. Hubby has traveled many times all over Asia, in the last few years and always returned to Thailand.

    Here's my ?

    With these amazing fares from KL to London we are considering going the other way- visiting friends in London perhaps going on to Europe for a week and then to the US.

    What kind of visa will he need? What are our chances and costs? I would guess that if we were granted his US visa, a UK one would be easier.

    Thoughts – comments? please

    Thank you HH

    Folklore Or What?

    The day before yesterday my neighbor called my name as he chased a 1-meter long monitor lizard under my sea front house. My neighbor Bow was a bit distressed, so I took a closer look. The monitor lizard was striped like a tiger! It was pretty small for a monitor lizard about 1 meter and very thin with a larger mouth. Bow, a local long tail guy said he had never seen one before. I had seen something like this in photos on a beach in Flores, Indonesia last year. Local legend has it, that there were small alligators in the waters in the huge mangroves forest near my house . Ive been told they have been extinct for 60 years or more. Any body seen anything like this here? We live in the South Andaman coast.

    sorry i was too slow with my camera :o Thanks! HH

    Thai Wedding Stress

    Same here- we invited the whole village {some people I liked and some I didn’t} and hubby's family drove down. Coz it was high season there was one cheeky Thai neighbor lady who invited a completely strange farang family along as "a tour" and they ate a whole meal for free... Too much! We did it Thai style and Farang style. Meaning in the morning was Typical Thai. Around noon boats took us farang for island swimming & back for a western Buffet/cake. In the evening Traditional live Thai folk music and dancing while the full moon came up over the sea. Relax, and just go with it.

    Hi, We have 2 houses made of wood {mai deng} I'm not sure what kind of house you have, is it a Thai house up on stilts? Here in our 100+ y/o village there are two ways to fix em - one is to do it like a boat and use cotton rope and glue - the other way is mix saw dust with glue. Many boats builders here, so we just made it like our longtail boat. There is great thread here about local wood, have a look. Know that hardwood , like mai deng as it drys, shrinks. ALOT!

    Divorce

    in Family and Children

    Posted · Edited by hellohello

    Dear Silipin, hope I'm not out of line here.... but, could you and your kids move out yourself? I'm thinking he does not want the divorce coz of losing face and perhaps he does not believe you are really serious? If you moved out first, and the word was out that you were separated, after things calmed down and it was accepted that your were really finished, he might agree to going to the amphur in the future. Time is always a healing factor.

    A english friend of mine just left her thai husband- she had to move across the county with their kid, as her husband didn't, wouldn't divorce her. Now that he has accepted it is over he will grant her a divorce at the amphur. From what I've seen and heard from my friend; Losing a farang = losing face.

    good luck
