Thanks so much! This helps a lot!

But why will they not mail it to him? That is kind of annoying....how much do you think he will "pay" them to mail it? >_<

Also, in the list of things to bring, it says "2x2 in photos." That is required? The photos he has are 1x 1.5 in

Thank you everyone.

Ice is going to BKK to get his police certificate.

He is going to be flying into Suvarnabhumi International Airport, and I see it is 35 minutes from the police station. What's the best way to get there by? Taxi?

1&2 I don't know
3. just print it out
4. Sign part 1, do NOT sign part 2. They'll make you raise your right hand and swear at the embassy etc.
5. copies are fine.



Thank you! You're fast

I know you guys probably think I'm the most annoying in this subforum, but I have more questions.

I have a few questions about packet 3 information for K-1 Visa:

1.) When obtaining the police certificate, does my fiance need one from the location that he studied at in the USA? He studied there for a year and a half. He was under someone's care there, but he technically wasn't a minor. If so, where should I go to obtain it?

2.) How long is the average wait time from the time BKK Consulate/Embassy receives the signed checklist items for packet 3 until the time of the interview?

3.) May I print out an I-134 form, or will I obtain it from another source? How do I get it notarized?

4.) Form DS230 part I: Should it be signed or unsigned when he sends it?

5.) For pay stubs, NOA1 and NOA2, boarding passes and other important items to our case, should I send him the originals to bring to the interview or will copies be sufficient?

@Andy- Yeah I have the Unlimited world plan, which makes it only 14 dollars for unlimited calls to Ice, and it doesn't cost him anything (love Thailand's cellohone rule that makes the receiver never have to pay). Sometimes I have weird problems with it, like random loud beeps, his voice breaking up, or dropped calls. But when I was in Thailand and my parents would call us using Skype, I could see that on his side, it's very clear. Which makes me think that it's just Thai phone service to US that makes the voice break up.

Has anyone used gmail phone? I think it's about the same rate as Skype, since for the unlimited plan to Thailand, they have a fair usage policy. Ice and I used to use it to the max, which is 6 hours a day. Yeah, I know that's kind of insane... :lol: We narrowed it down to 3 hours a day since I got back.


@Aaron- How much does mobilecaller cost?

I hate double posting, but does anyone know how to get police certificates in Chiang Mai and in the US? Because I know he'll eventually need it, so he wants to get it now in Chiang Mai, but we're not sure where to go. And because he lived in the US for more than a year, I have to figure out where to get one for him here. Him and his student visa sponsor are not on good terms, so I don't know if that will affect obtaining the certificate or even getting medical records....

hi niing,

if you have a straight forward case, no red flags and can pay attention to detail then you can absolutely do the paperwork on your own.

keep all relevant travel information, boarding passes, hotel information are good secondary information to accompany the passport stamps. since your fiance was here with you in the u.s. any photos of the two of you here as well as photos of one with the others family is helpful. it's been a long time for us but the i.o. did comment on the photos of my then fiance with my relatives while he was here in the u.s. before we petitioned.

you should make sure you are prepared for the i-134 and have domicile established in advance as well. double check with some of the more recent interviewess but i don't think bkk allows for co-sponsors.

best of luck!


Thanks for the help!
When you say BKK, just Bangkok, or do you mean all of Thailand? Because he lives in Chiang Mai.

I'm back, and I'm in Thailand right now~

I'm just wondering, now that he's been with me in the USA for a year and a half, and I've come here to Thailand for 3 months, when I go back, what evidence will be needed for starting the K-1 Fiance visa? We're young, but determined, so we also want to know if we should hire a lawyer. Thanks!

How much evidence is needed for K-1 visa? We really want to just get married now, but since we think we need more evidence, I'm spending a lot of money to go there. I wish he would be able to just come here and marry me.

Well, I think I'm going to post my whole situation here so I can get some feedback on how we should handle this.

My boyfriend and I started dating in May of last year, but we had known eachother for a while before because we were good friends. He was an international student going to my community college, and I am a half-Filipino, half American girl who attends community college to save money. He is 20 years old and I am 19, but by the time we are married, I will be 20 and he will be 21.

He left in August, and we were already by then sure we wanted to marry, but we had no idea how to do so because both of us are poor. So I started working more so I can visit him in may, after I graduate with my associate's degree.

We want to get married in Thailand and then have him come to the United states. We will both work and maybe finish school later when we have the resources to do so. The main thing that we are focused on right now is joining our lives together.

If I come back to the US in august, and start the process right away, how long will it take? And please give any suggestions in regards to our situation.

Thank you!!

So your wife thinks your a lady?

She can do it if they really are determined to be together. They just have work harder than usual in the relationship.

Africa: Sub-Saharangoing to pursue CR-1, live with him abroad (not in his home country). how will this affect the visa process
OP, I think you will probably have to make several trips to his country if you're doing a K-1 and he can't come visit you here.

About you being young, I think it does have some factor into it, because in my case, my husband is 22 and I am 21, and during the interview, the CO railed on him for being "too young" and "why are you not studying?"
But he passed, because I promised them I would finish college, I would be able to support him, and we met when he came here in the US, and I also lived with him for 3 months in his country.

You just have to prove that it is a real relationship by going the extra mile and spending the money to visit a couple of times, and get good support, whether it's by getting a good job or having co-sponsors. You have to be prepared for the long wait if you do K-1 and be prepared for the interview especially since it's Nigeria. Be prepared to be put in AP if it happens.

Maybe I'm immature, but when we were going through the process, we would always joke that if he got denied then we would just live in the jungle of Thailand :lol:

I think you can do it! Good luck!
