jstumbo Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 The solution is very easy. Go to Mexico, then enter the U.S. illegally through our southern border. You can use fake names and social security numbers to get jobs, go to any emergency room for your physician, go to local welfare offices for food stamps, etc. If anyone questions you, call them a racist. Most importantly, get a t-shirt with Barrack for President.Just stay out of Maricopa County, AZ where they ENFORCE THE LAW. Other than that, you should be fine. Don't forget that you are allowed to protest in the streets that you should be made legal without having to worry about being deported. And don't forget to wave a flag of your home country. And if you are unlucky enough to get caught, don't worry, they will let you out of immigration jail while you fight your deportation. All you need to do is promise that you will come back to be deported and not just move to another part of the country. And if you do this for a few years, then you can stay legally when they give amnisty, but in order to get amnesty you not only have to be living in the US illegally, you have to also be working illegally to qualify for amnesty.

ThaiKoon Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I'm looking to get my wife to the US also. I just have a couple of questions if someone could help me. We have not filed any papers but have had a ceromony so i think the fiance visa would be the way to go. The thing is she doesn't want to live in the US. We want to get to the point where she can come and go as she wants. Maybe stay for a month or 2 max. So i see we would have 90 days to get married then what? Do we then apply for a green card and how long do that usually take? Then if she gets one is there a minimum she has to stay in the states to keep the green card? Any help would be greatly appreciated. JS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wife just wants to come to the US a couple of months at a time, a tourist visa would probably be the best bet and the fastest. If you are living in Thailand with her, it should be fairly easy to get. If you are living in the US, then it will probably be difficult to do. As for the fiance visa. After you get married, then you file for adjustment of status. This results in a 2 year conditional greencard and after two years she would get a permanent one. It can take a while to process to get the conditional card, so if she wanted to leave before she received the greencard, she would need to file for advance parole. On greencard you cannot stay out of the country more than one year, without filing additional paperwork prior to leaving. If you stay out longer than this, you will lose your greencard. Even if you are out of the US less than one year, they can still take it away. If the border control agent feels that she is not living in the US and is instead just using it like a visa to visit the US, they may take it away when she tried to return.

If so, get yourself there first, get a job and when you have enough money, then you can send for her. Hope that helps Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the forum for comments on American politics and members' views on illegal entrants to the States. Scouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That answered all of my questions. Well looks like we're going to try a tourist visa. The problem is I work in the US (offshore) and spend about 4 months a year in BKK, never over a month at a time. What would qualify me as a resident of Thailand. The wife and I are seriously looking to buy a condo, maybe that would help. Thanks for any info.

jstumbo Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 You would need to prove that your wife will return to Thailand. This is much easier to do if you are living in Thailand, because she would not have any reason to remain in the US, because you live in Thailand. With you working offshore and spending 4 months a year in Thailand, it sounds like you probably spend more time in Thailand than you in the US. Buying a condo in Thailand would help a lot. Things like having property in Thailand, having a job, cars, and other things that make it seem like she would return will be needed to get tourist visa.

thaihome Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 First thing, and just about the only thing, the Bangkok USCIS office (where you turn in the I-130) looks at to determine residency eligibility is a long term visa and/or work permit TH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is it? Under your pillow? If not...How did you get back to the USA? And what do you live on, fresh air? RAZZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 If you are going to do the K3 Visa route, you might as well start the paperwork now. The USCIS is so backed up, it's taking them forever to process applications. They are moving quicker than before (late summer/early fall) but they are still behind. I filed a K1 Visa for my fiancee in June of 2007. She finally has her interview at the US Embassy for her visa in early April. Once here in the US, we need to get married within 90 days. We then have to file for AOS (Adjustment of Status) which will allow her to become a permanent resident of the US. During this time we also apply for what is called Advance Parole (nice name). This will allow her to leave the US and re-enter without a Green Card. It takes between 2 to 3 months to obtain Advance Parole. If you are a US citizen, you should take a look at a website (VisaJourney) that deals only with family based visas for US citizens and their foreign spouse, family, or fiance(e).

jstumbo Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 They just need more of the visa processors that trade sexual favors for quicker processing like the one that was just arrested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
