Us Tourist Visa

[chrisf77]

My fiancee is applying to get the tourist visa to America. Can someone tell us if we need anything else or if you think our case is good enough?

She is Thai (26 years old) and I am American (27 years old)

I have been living in Thailand with my fiancee and her family for the past 1-2 years. Last school semester I was teaching english. This school semester I was suppose to continue teaching but am not now because the flooding messed everything up. I plan to continue teaching next semester starting in May but no offical document to prove this.

We are trying to visit my family and friends in America for 2-3 months, (February-April). We will also travel around (We made a 2-3 month trip Itinerary to show)

About me (I will give the following to my fiancee to bring to the interview)

Letter to the consulate, to explain anything and list our cases..

Assets Document with photos in Thailand which equal a little over 200,000 baht

Engagement gold I gave to her which also equals a little over 200,000 baht (Engaged Last April)

Hi chrisf77.

From your post, it looks like both of you have strong ties to Thailand.

Bring everything you have listed including the underlined stuff.., Bring all of it.

My GF and I went through this in October. The first person looked through all of our stuff, and picked out documents she thought would support our visa application. The interviewing counselor picked out two from that. The counselor looked at my GF's business license and a copy of MY non B visa. She got a 10 year visa.

Each case is different, you never know what they will want.

Good luck

Thanks, this makes us feel better.

She keeps reading what other Thai people wrote about there experiences and about how diffacult it is to get a US tourist visa, Its making her/us worry so much.

I am just figuring its a 50 50 chance you will get a tourist visa no matter your intentions are true or not.

Its times like this I wish they could just read our minds to know our true intention or stick us in a lie dection chair that electricutes you if you lie. lol

If that was the case then there would be nothing to worry about for us
