I have a business in the US and have been dividing my time 6 mo california,6 mo Phuket. My Thai GF, owns a rental house, car, and wants to be back in Thailand in Nov to receive her BA degree,at the graduation cerimony... I have known her 7 months I would like to get her a visa to go to the US with me..3 mo.. I know this isn't easy,but since I have considerable assets, does anyone know about the possibility of me posting a bond/ guarantee for her? Thanks, Arterre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulfr Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 I have thought about asking this question too. It seems to me that a guarantee bond from a US citizen should be sufficient to get at least a toursit visa for someone. But the bond amount would have to be substantial I suspect. I did not see anything about this on US Embassy website. I am surprised no one at all responded to this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PvtDick Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Sorry, guys, but there is no system of posting a bond to guarantee the return of a Thai citizen wanting to travel to the US. He/she must qualify on their own merits. It might help, though, to indicate she would be traveling with you - and that you yourself have compelling links to Thailand (work permit, investment, business, etc.).

mrvietnam2001 Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 There is no provision in US immigration law for posting of any bonds or money to allow a foreigner to come to the US or guarantee their return. Think about that. If that were possible the line forming would circle the globe. Mr Vietnam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulfr Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 MrVietnam I suspect you are right about no bond being possible under current law. But why would the line circle the globe if it were possible ?? If the bond amount was substantial, very few could persuade an Ameican citizen to sponser them because of the risk level. I would think a $25,000 bond from a reputable person with job, real estate, and other US ties would be substantial enough. Then again ...... a high class call girl can bring in $100,000 per year for a 400% annual return on 25K$. Guess you are right. The bond would have to be $250,000 or more. Very few could swing let alone be interested in risking this amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
