Guest Posted December 22, 2001 Report Share Posted December 22, 2001 Old hippie / HSTEACH-- Sure the fact that she was issued a K-1 and returned to BKK without an overstay would "help" her case for a B-1/B-2 tourist visa.. however, this alone won't suffice the "compelling ties" test and she will still be required to show job/money/house/family/etc.. I've seen ladies (not girls, but ladies) get rejected even though they have stamps showing travel to europe/asia and even Australasia.. This is NOT meant to say that a un-successful K-1 entry (& return) won't HELP her case for a B-1/B-2, but is meant to say that it will still be hard.. --UPSer PS: We have managers in our office... thai ladies, married with 3 kids, house in BKK suburbs, second vacation house in Phuket, univ. degree, the whole "9-yards" and still had to show up and interview just like everyone else..

Guest Posted December 22, 2001 Report Share Posted December 22, 2001 I've known guys that have gotten K1's for girls that did more than a 'stint' as bar girl. Most important: make sure you're stories are consistent - they WILL be looking for that, stick to your guns and admit nothing. You should have no problem.

Guest Posted December 22, 2001 Report Share Posted December 22, 2001 worldwalker-- Fundmentally that is what the staff will be looking for... everyone I know that has been successful with the K-1 has spent a fair amount of "prep" time themselves and (more importantly IMHO) with their girls making sure the story is solid (no holes) and sounds legit and "flows" well.. --UPSer PS: I know of only 2 people who have been denied their K-1's at the embassy.. One totally goofed and did his BKK packet all wrong.. the other one (his GF) said something that obviously was not supposed to come out.. denied.

gregchambers Posted December 24, 2001 Report Share Posted December 24, 2001 Just to help... know some girls who have deliberately said something stupid to avoid getting a visa as they would not tell the wannabe hubbie to his face that they didn't really want to get married and go abroad, just wanted the money.
