Us Visa Rejected

[caledonia]

Ok just reading through these posts the one point that seems glaringly obvious to me is that your GF has very little chance of getting a Tourist Visa on her own merit. Yes she has a lot of money in the bank, has a steady income and a house but that is all from YOU! Therefore if she is going to see YOU in YOUR homecountry and you have been dating for SIX years I would kind of be thinking she might not come home either. The fact that her son would be in Thailand is not a reason to come back - certainly bearing in mind he could come to the USA later. The fact that her house is owned outright also means that it is ripe for her extended family to move in.

None of my business but if you have been dating the women for six years, have travelled with her, are considering applying for a third tourist visa thereby implying a sense of commitment here (like 6 Years does not say that!!) pay her a monthly 'salary' and I assume aslo pay for her sons private education why not just bite the bullet and marry her or at the very least ask her to marry you - hey call me old fashioned!!

Not to get off track, but do you think the US is cracking down as a general response to the trouble in the south?

No.

Have you thought that maybe she doesn't want a visa?

Sorry if I am making any wild thoughts but I have heard it happen.

Thai gf in Thailand getting 20,000 a month, with a car and house. Deliberately didn't get the visa.

Your gf is earning 40,000 a month and has a 2 million baht house.

What is the age difference between you two?

She sounds like she must be a clever lady, she should get what she wants.

I am her sole means of support

1.  Should I resubmit and go with her to the next interview.  I could certainly agrue with the visa officer much better than her.  Can I make a difference.

2.  I am wondering if this is just a dead end.  Does the  facts that I support her and that the house and car in her name just not sufficient to be granted a visa.

3.  Would I be better off applying for K-1. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think that you being her sole support is a problem if you're not living in Thailand. If you live in the US she has less reason to come back if her source of income is not in Thailand

Definitely you should be there for the interview.

Don't submit incorrect forms. Affidavits of support have nothing to do with a tourist visa. She is supposed to qualify on her own.

After the last comment I'd say you should still bring your financial info as they are a bunch of hypocrites also.

a fiancee or marriage visa would be a lot more work but have a much higher chance of approval if you plan on getting married anyway.

So can some one answer the earlier questions about whether or not the documents showing ties to thailand should be submitted at the application stage or at the interview.

Also I was under the impression that I really could not speak on her behalf during the interview and that she had to do this on her own. Will I be given the opportunity to state my case for her.

When my GF applied for her visa she supplied all of the documents at the filing. I accompanied her for the interview. She got her visa.

Were you living in Thailand or the US at the time?

I think what the frustrated posters are missing is the point that their mere presence is detrimental to the gf getting a visa. I would bet that if the gf had a job, money in the bank (enough to last a couple of weeks in the US), a son in private school, papers showing she owned a home, dressed in modest business clothes, and absolutely no mention of a boyfriend in the US, she would have been given the visa no problem.

The only time a bf should be mentioned is if he has a well paying job in Thailand and letter from employer saying he is employed long term in Thailand and is entitled to home leaves each year.

Problem is knowing that now is too late.
