tourist or marriage visa

[teacher0826]

Please forgive as I am new to this site. I could not find where to start a new topic. I am American and I am married to a Thai and I want to take her to America, I have a good wife, not selfish or greedy. I am not sure which would be the better visa to apply for her, either a tourist or a marriage visa. Which would be easier to get. Can anyone help me or give me advice or move this topic to the correct forum and let me know where to find. Thanks to all and again I am sorry.

If to live in the U.S., then an immigrant visa would be best.

Where do you live? If in Thailand then you may have a comparatively easy track to make this work.

Suggest you do a search on this forum for "DCF," there's several hits with other people going through this process.

That is exactly what I am in process of doing. I elected to marry

first in January, and then started the visa process two weeks later .

I-130 was submitted on Jan. 21, and have just received notification

for her verbal interview for April 21. So three months total. Not

sure which is the better way to go, it just made more sense to

me to say here is my wife, we wish to go to America, versus

saying yes I would like to marry this girl, and as soon as we get

to the states I will be sure to do that....
