Article Directory :: Legal Articles The K-1 Visa and F-1 Visa From Thailand: Problems to Avoid By Ben Hart Republish: EasyPublish™ Published: 21Aug2009 Word count: 450 Viewed: 396 time(s) Get Free Content For Your Site Many people travel to the Kingdom of Thailand and meet the love of their life. The ladies of Thailand are some of the most beautiful and kind women on the planet. As a result, many American men wish to bring their loved one back to the United States. In an effort to bring their loved one to the United States of America, some American men seek to use Immigration methods that are both dishonest and can cause many more problems than they solve. Some people attempt to avoid filing for a US fiancee visa for a Thai loved one. The reason people wish to circumvent this visa route is based in part on the fact that the K-1 visa processing time is somewhat longer than that of some of the other non-immigrant visa categories. For example, the use of American tourist visas to bring Thai loved ones to the USA is well documented. However, this Immigration strategy often culminates in frustration because the Thai applicant is either denied the visa at the Embassy or is turned away at the point of entry in the United States because her relationship with an American can cause her to be deemed inadmissible under section 214 (b) of the United States Immigration and Nationality Act. Further problems can arise when the Thai lady attempts to adjust status to permanent residence after marrying an American in the US on a B-2 visa. In recent years, the US Embassy in Thailand has more carefully scrutinized US Tourist Visa applicants and the result is a relatively higher rate of denial for the B-2 Tourist visa compared to the number of visa denials in the past. The upshot of this higher Tourist visa denial rate is that some American men look to the F-1 Student visa as an alternative route for bringing their Thai loved one to the USA. This method is ill-advised because, as with use of the US Tourist visa for undisclosed immigration purposes, utilizing an F-1 student visa when the Thai lady really intends to marry her American citizen fiance could lead to negative consequences. Providing false information to United States Immigration Officials is not only a legal ground of inadmissibility that could cause the Thai fiance to be barred from traveling to the USA, it could also lead to criminal charges leveled against both the Thai immigrant and the American Citizen fiance. Therefore, it is highly recommended that those wishing to travel to the USA for the purpose of marriage utilize the K-1 visa since it is the proper Immigration category for this purpose.
