Taking My Wife to US on Tourist Visa

[AcuDoc]

I would like to  take my Thai wife to the US to meet my family. I was told it is easier for her to get a Tourist Visa to the US verses a Marriage Visa.

 

I plan on spending only a month in the US. Do I have to give the exact dates immediately when we apply for the visa? At this point I do not know the exact dates as it depends on my work schedule and it is too far out to know for sure. My thoughts right now are somewhere around the middle to the end of May 2023.

 

How long does it take for the application process? A friend told my it took him 9 months to get approved. Is that realistic and the norm? How easy it it to do by yourself or should you hire a service in Thailand to help or expedite the process?

 

Thanks in advance - larry and pla
