DEFINATION OF A US K - 1 VISA?

A K1 fiancee visa is needed if a U.S. Citizen wishes to take their Thai fiancee with them to the US. We have listed a brief breakdown of the basic criteria of a K1 Visa. Also there are certain procedures to follow not only with the procedures but also with a petition extension should that be needed.

HOW DOES A K - 1 VISA WORK?

If you have met your Thai fiancee and wish her to travel to the US to marry, the process for the K1 Visa starts with filing of a Petition for Alien Fiance in the United States.

STARTING THE K - 1 VISA PROCESS

The process starts with the filing of the Form I-129F also known as a Petition for Alien Fiance with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service. Kindly note, that you cannot start the petition at an embassy abroad. Once the petition is approved it is sent to the National Visa Center. The National Visa Center will then process the petition and send it to the embassy in Bangkok, Thailand for your Thai fiancee to complete.

The petition is only valid for 4 months after it has been approved by USCIS. Should you not be able to complete the process with that time period, the embassy may be able to extend it for you. It is therefore best to see an attorney to handle all the paperwork in Thailand noting the language barriers, time zones and limited time.

ENTERING THE UNITED STATES

After the Thai fiancee enters the US, the couple has 90 days to get married. Once the K-1 marriage has occurred, the Thai wife needs to file for an adjustment of status to a U.S. Permanent Resident.

Should you Thai fiancee before getting married have to leave the United States, she would not be able to return to the US on the same K1 Visa. The K-1 Visa is a single entry visa.

CHILDREN AND THE K - 1 VISA HOLDER

A K-1 Visa applicant has to place their child or children's name(s) on the original I-129F petition if they want to bring their children with them on a K-2 Visa. The child can come to the United States with the K1 Visa holder or within a year from the date on which the K1 Visa had been issued.

There are numerous documents needed for the visa application when the process ends at the US Embassy in Thailand. These include but not limited to vaccination certificate and criminal records checks.

" I was waiting for over 16 months on Bangkok embassy to contact me for my girlfriend's visa interview. So I flew to Bangkok from USA. After I arrive I get notice they say they canceled my petition and destroyed all documents. 2 hours later I hired Siam Legal. Mintra M. started working on the case. Within a month my girlfriend had a visa in her hand and was able to fly back the the USA with me. Mintra has also help with 3 other applications to get green card, travel documents and employment documents. We go to immigration here in Boise, Idaho today for biometrics. Mintra is priceless. "
