Thailand	Can someone immigrate to the USA if they have student loan debt?	Student loan debt is not a problem. As long as you, the "petitioner", have sufficient income to support your fiance upon him entering the country, you will have no issues from student loan debt owed on a student loan in Thailand. In fact, the debt will never be brought up on any application or questiong since there are no financial questions asked of the person coming to the U.S., other than evidence that they have financial support for their trip. If he chooses to continune making payments on the loan in Thailand (while in the U.S.) you can transfer funds from most U.S. banks to Thailand through bank wire (usually around $45 international fee though). If you use Bangkok Bank, they have an office in New York so you are also able to do a bank wire (domestic fee to Thailand) a lot cheaper, anywhere from $5-maximum $20, depending on amount. Or, do what I recommend, open a free U.S. bank checking account, get an ATM card and send it to a trusted family member/friend. That way, they can go to an ATM in Thailand to withdraw the funds from your U.S. account, and deposit/pay for the loan in Thailand. This transaction would probably be about a $5 fee from your bank, and a 50 Baht charge direct from the ATM. Let me know if you need any other Thailand tips, I think we've been through them all....

Asia: South	USD Currency Exchange Rates (Asian Currencies)	Alright, who can tell me what's going on with the exchange rates between the US$ and Asian currencies, namely the Thai Baht. It's now around 32.6 Baht/ $1 USD when last year is was around 38 Baht per USD. Economically it makes sense though, USD prices are rising (i.e. gas).

I have experience with several large manufacturing organizations in a Financial/Tax Analyst role. I have an M.B.A. and am looking to build up some international experience. My # one country choice is Thailand, but Singapore, Malaysia, China, etc. are also candidates. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting a job overseas, or possibly places to look?

Asia: East and Pacific	US to Thailand calling card - best quality	We call Ubon Ratchathani quite often. I have used www.idphonecard.com for the last 4 years, great service and excellent prices. C.J. QUOTE (Merrill @ Jul 5 2007, 11:41 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would like to find a high quality calling card. The one that I use now is not very good. I am calling a cell number in Ubon Ratchathani and sometimes the sound is so bad I have to call back. Sometimes I get the all circuits are busy try later message. When Chutima calls me the sound quality is much better so I know that higher quality networks exist. I have vonage and the calls to thailand with vonage are even worse than the calling card and more expensive. The one I have now I purchased on www.ThaiTel.com. It is called HandyDirect and it says that the network is provided by LSR Telecom, USA. What calling card do you use? Are you satisfied with the quality? Are you satisfied with the cost?

Asia: East and Pacific	English classes for native Thai speaker?	Consider the www.ed2go.com ESL courses. These are online computer classes. Most community colleges have "distance learning" programs that they make you believe are local online courses but they direct to this site, cost is around $50 for each section, they have grammar, writing, speaking, and many other skills that have ESL based classes. Check your local community college for Ed2go or distance learning ESL classes. While they are not face to face, in classroom courses, with her experience, she may learn a thing or two. Good luck!

Asia: East and Pacific	Shipping Personal Effects to Thailand from U.S.	A very good friend of ours will soon be moving back to Thailand. I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion for shipping personal items back to Thailand. This would include things like clothes, gifts, souvenirs, etc. The items would be in several large boxes. I am guessing maybe enough to fill up a large SUV. While she is donating or passing on many items, I am trying to help out and find some shipping companies that might be worth checking into. Speed is not a problem so long as items will arrive safely. She is able to send stuff now, and will be in Thailand in a few months. Thanks for any tips or suggestions! C.J.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Nervous!	I flew to Thailand to be there for the interview day. It would have been a rough day if I hadn't. C.J.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	I-134 Paperwork and Proof of Income	Bank statements, typically from the last 3 to 4 recent months should be sufficient. You will likely have difficulty getting any large commercial or regional bank to understand that you would like to have a bank letter that indicated your banking activity over a certain period. A local credit union (if they are your primary bank) should be more helpful. Remember that the bank is not making the decision for this case, so the easiest answer if to provide nothing more than you can obtain on your own. A simple bank statements should suffice, combined with an official letter indicating employment status and income/salary. Since you indicate that you are self-employed, the complete tax returns for the last 3 tax years (2007, 2008, 2009) would be the best source of proof of finances since this is what you have reported to the government. If you have copies of all pages, send them. Better to send too much than too little. I was in a similar situation and had a large tax return and copied everything, with audit ready receipts for all items claimed. We had no issues during the entire process. GOOD LUCK!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	visitor visa denial effect k-1 visa	Simple answer, No, the tourist visa denial will not have a significant impact on the chances for the K-1 visa approval as long as all applications are submitted truthfully with all required information and that they satisfy the requirements necessary for visa approval. Most visitor visas are denied because of failure to satisfy Section 214B of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The visitor visa, in short, requires that one prove to the consulate officer that the applicant has binding ties to their home country whereas the K-1 visa takes the path of proving your intent to get married in the U.S. within the 90 day window upon first entering the U.S. Both visas are handled differently, and possibly by totally different sections of the Embassy or Consulate depending on the location. We got a tourist visa denial and were successfully approved for K-1 without any issues. Good luck, C.J. Edited by CJ&Jum, 26 March 2006 - 01:56 AM.	CJ&Jum	Male	Thailand	2006-03-26 01:54:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I think its a new rule but whats it about????	It also appears that in its own roundabout legislative wording, that there are a lot of "buts" in certain situations. I was just wondering about it all. I learned something new today.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I think its a new rule but whats it about????	It appears as though the initial quoted regulation applies to the recently passed IMBRA (International Marriage Broker Regulation Act) legislation that applies specifically to the International Marriage Brokers and not the other potential K-1 petitioners as initially appeared. Pax's listing also provides a good layman's terms description of some highlights of these changes. So, it seems that the restriction of 2 years before petitioning again does not apply to those petitioning for their foreign fiance(e) apart from any services of IMBs. search "IMBRA" on a web search and you can read different perspectives all day. The law, as with most, comes with its pros and cons. The important thing as with most immigration laws is the context in which it is applicable to the parties involved. C.J.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	I think its a new rule but whats it about????	Multiple K Visas The Act places two new restrictions on multiple K-1 visas: A petitioner must wait two years from the filing of a prior K-1 visa until a second K-1 visa may be issued A petitioner is barred from obtaining fiancé(e) visas for more than two foreign nationals. A waiver based on a showing of “extreme hardship” is possible in such cases, although not if a petitioner has a record of violent criminal offenses. “Record” is explicitly not restricted to criminal court records. A database will be maintained by the Department of Homeland Security to track multiple fiancé(e) and spousal visa petitions. What about the first part of that statement? It does not appear in line with other interpretations that I have heard about the K-1 requirements. I don't remember seeing a specific indication that restricts a petitioner from applying for a K-1 for a foreign beneficiary other than the question #11 on the I-129F that asks "Have you ever filed for this or any other alien fiance(e) or husband/wife before? Yes/No, give name, place, date of filing and outcome." Maybe this statement posted was an interpretation of the rules, but I question its validity. It just does not seem to support the immigration law that if the applicant had applied for a fiance(e) that subsequently does not work out that they would have to wait 2 years to apply for anyone else. Any thoughts?	CJ&Jum	Male	Thailand	2006-03-27 18:53:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Interview questions	The consulate officer is permitted to ask any question that is relative to the application. However, the answers can be brief and still answer the question. Example: Our one and only question asked at the interview was "How many times had I (the U.S. Citizen) been to visit" Ans: Three. That was it, probably the shortest interview question that can be asked. Good luck, C.J.	CJ&Jum	Male	Thailand	2006-03-27 20:29:00

No extra fees or requirements. Rates are competitive, recharging is easily done online or automatically.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Changing Jobs	You will not have any problems as long as you are able to satisfy the requirements of the I-134 support documents when they are submitted. It is there that you will put your most recent information. The question of proof of income or sufficient assets is more important than the place of employment. I changed jobs and residence during the process and it was not a problem. C.J. You do know about the poverty guidelines, right? For the interview, if you don´t earn enough to support everyone who´s dependant on you plus your alien fiancee you´ll still need a co-sponsor. I am the alien and i am guessing i will need a co sponsor as she is on the final year of her programe. Her mother has already said she will sponsor me.	CJ&Jum	Male	Thailand	2006-03-29 16:28:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	K1 for someone previously in US illegally?	There are loop holes in many systems. But being honest makes the whole process a lot less stressful. If someone asked you specifically "Have you been to the U.S. before?" and you had, then I can't see any other honest answer than "Yes." If the question was along the lines "Have you ever been deported from the U.S.?" and you had never been "caught" then I would think the answer would be "No." The questions of immigration law are specifically geared towards such situations. The word, Law, defined "implies imposition by a sovereign authority and the obligation of obedience on the part of all subject to that authority." The answers to such immigration questions are relative to the specific question asked and the person/authority asking. Be smart and thoughtful but not to the point that what you are saying is untruthful that would negatively affect your case. Good luck. C.J.	CJ&Jum	Male	Thailand	2006-03-29 16:24:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Permanent Resident wants her Fiance here with here...	I suppose that is part of the reason of the latest immigration protests and changes that have been suggested. There is no petition for a fiance for LPR, but there is for spouse. The current priority date for an LPR spouse in about 4 years. How close are they from naturalization eligibility? If they marry and apply for IR1 they could have an interview about 4 years later. The petition can be upgraded is the LPR subsequently naturalizes. 4 years. Disgusting. I wonder why the US has such a huge problem with illegal immigration? Let's weigh our options: a) file the paperwork, jump through hoops, pay lots of fees, go through interviews and stress, wait 4+ years, and then maybe get to be together if the USCIS sees fit, or B) come to the US and overstay your visa, and get to be together right away.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	fiance completely clueless???	Your fiance could always move to Canada to be with you. I doubt that many people who read and post on the VJ forum have a relationship based on getting a visa to come to the US. In fact, my impression of a lot of people on here is that they fell in love, discussed their relationship and future together, and then happened across this wonderful site where they subsequently went down the visa path. C.J. Why are you marrying this guy if you obviously have no respect for him? I seem to remember you complaining about him in another post somewhere to if I"m not mistaken. How about being grateful to the fact that you're getting a visa to the US because of him?? Since this is my post I HAD to respond to this! Being greatful to the fact of getting a visa to the us? I'm laughing my fukcing a** off. I live in Canada there buddy that happens to not be that much different from the USA. I get free health care. And back in the day people from USA escaped to come to Canada because it was a better country with better rules. If it wasn't for him I WOULD NOT GO TO THE USA. There is no need. I have a great life in my own country (excluding him not here.) I don't need the USA. Nice to know your relationship was based on getting a visa to the USA. To everyone else who replyed. Thanks! It helps me feel not so stuck in all of this. you guys are great. To all the people on here doing this out of love and to be together for ur fiance and not for his/her country I respect you.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Visiting fiance-to-be	The status of fiance(e) does not change the visa or immigrant status unless it is proclaimed officially through petition for an alien fiance(e). For your purposes as described, being a fiance(e) or boy/girlfriend has no different consideration as you are not legally connected to the person and it should not present any problems, especially under the Visa Waiver Program. The situation that a consular officer may be heading towards through a line of questioning of "who" you are visiting is roundabout way of making a quick determination of any potential for immigration intent in terms of marriage to a U.S. citizen. Telling the truth without divulging unnecessary information is the most recommended course of action when dealing with most laws. Enjoy your travels, C.J.	CJ&Jum	Male	Thailand	2006-04-05 22:55:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	reapplying for K1 visa again	Here are my ramblings on this topic: The K-1 fiance(e) visa is approved with one of the major requirements of showing that the foreign beneficiary and U.S. Citizen have a bona fide intention to get married. While it may be personal opinion, marriage is both a legal and ceremonial/religious union and without getting into the debatable topic, marriage, in its various forms, is still considered "marriage" for the sake of the parties involved whether it is on paper or through ceremony. Some, therefore, decide to hold off on this union. Within the boundaries of the 90 day stay, there are no penalties for not getting married within this time period so long as the foreign beneficiary complies with immigration regulations in place at the time (i.e. leaves the U.S. prior to the 90 day timeframe). Along these lines, if the intent of the application was determined (based on the subjective opinion of consulate officer/immigration official with consideration of the objective facts of the specific case) that the K-1 visa was used for the purposes of a tourist visa, or any other purpose other than the purpose of the K-1 fiance(e) visa, that would indicate actions that constitute visa fraud. And yes, the immigration law does indeed state the following (note section B about waivers of this section): 214( d ) (2) 1bc/ ( A ) Subject to subparagraphs ( B ) and ( C ), a consular officer may not approve a petition under paragraph (1) unless the officer has verified that-- (i) the petitioner has not, previous to the pending petition, petitioned under paragraph (1) with respect to two or more applying aliens; and (ii) if the petitioner has had such a petition previously approved, 2 years have elapsed since the filing of such previously approved petition. ( B ) The Secretary of Homeland Security may, in the Secretary’s discretion, waive the limitations in subparagraph ( A ) if justification exists for such a waiver. Except in extraordinary circumstances and subject to subparagraph ( C ), such a waiver shall not be granted if the petitioner has a record of violent criminal offenses against a person or persons. (REFERENCE: http://uscis.gov/lpB...tm#slb-act214d) While going through the process may not be the most ideal, a second petition for K-1 visa is not unheard of. I have communicated with a number of individuals who have gone down this path of a second petition for a fiance(e) visa for the same beneficiary as the initial petition and were successfully granted a second K-1 visa. With this scenario, I would expect that the question of why marriage did not take place during the time of the first K-1 visa would be a question posed at the interview. If asked the question "Was the K-1 visa used as a tourist visa?" A reply of "Yes" would be an answer that I would not expect to lead to a favorable approval. A valid distinction of personal/family/business situation, with appropriate validity, would need to satisfy the consular officers determination of granting a second visa. Good luck, C.J.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	k-1 proof of meeting	You can send copies of the items you would like to include. Just note, (and you probably will be including these already) that in addition to the plane tickets and car rental tickets, a more important proof of having met would include pictures of you two together. Things like a copy of a plane ticket or visa stamp do not, independently, validate the "proof of having met" requirement, although they do support the case if additional evidence is presented along with such documentation.

Went to a few stores to shop for food but everything is PANG! Then I took her to a Super WallMart you would think she was a kid in a candy store. She said that it was like Tesko Lotus. All the funny things that has happen with other member (Like the eggs) has happen with us too. Now it is time to plan the wedding and then the AOS. Thanks to all Ray and Su	CJ&Jum	Male	Thailand	2006-05-15 08:11:00
