tavarich Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Does anyone know if my Thai wife has to live in the States to get a resident alien status. Since we don't have any plans to move there in the near future, I would like to get some information and maybe some direction on this subject.

the scouser Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Comrade, I'm afraid that your wife will have to live in the US in order to gain any sort of long term immigration status there. Scouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you search the immigration website, and or talk to the Embassy in Thailand. BD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GU22 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I know very little about US immigration rules and procedures, but, despite our transatlantic cousins prevalence for distorting the English language, surely to qualify for "Resident Alien" status one has to be..........resident!

I was taught that there was no such thing as a stupid "question" So in the future I would suggest to all that they first check with the king of all distorted english before they post so as to ask a proper question. Thank you for my english lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
