Hi

Last June 16^th I file a petition for Fiancé Visa ( K1) in the USA, after a long stressful wait we finally got an answer , my fiancés visa application was approved and my fiancé received a package in the mail from the US consulate to submit her application in the BKK embassy, and I guess be granted an interview and finally, upon successfully applying and interviewing, receive her Visa to come to the USA and marry.

My Fiancé lives in Khon Kaen and has a Baccalaureate in Marketing , she speaks some English and is intelligent.

Given the recent economic climate in the USA and the world in general , money is tight, Is this something she should attempt on her own? Or would going to a Visa agency be a better Idea? She told me that she spoke to the only visa agency in Khon Kaen and they told her that the whole process will cost about 50,000 bth,

This sounds like a lot of money to me. All they have to do is help her fill the application , gather the necessary documents , have them translated and mailed to the US embassy.

.I would appreciate any comments that any one might have about the " process".and any links to any information that might be relevant

  .Please advise

Thamk you

50,000 Thai Baht is high for that kind of service. The likely reason for this is the fact that the Thai "visa agent" in Khon Kaen is just going for as much money as they can get. My firm charges 30,000 Baht for this service and I'm a US Immigration Attorney. Check out the link below for more information. I have Thais on my staff to assist your fiancee in Thai and if there are problems, 221 (G) requests for more information, then I can handle it from Bangkok and the need for her to travel back and forth to BKK will be diminished if not outright eliminated.

Good Luck!
