DCF - Bangkok

[omgponies! 0]

After reading a great deal on VJ, I have some specific questions about how the embassy in BKK handles DCF. Any information is greatly appreciated.

I think I will need to ask the embassy directly but is is possible (possible) to do a DCF on a tourist visa. I have an absolute ton of TR visas in four pp's. To this end, are they sticklers about the six months? Perhaps even require more time here? Would all my TR's buttress this IYO?

On my annual visit home, I think I will apply for an O-A. But, I am not working. Is this an issue?

Would the embassy accept O visa out of KL based on marriage as ability to file via DCF

Can I do a K-1 filing via DCF? Looks like better situation to marry prior (less assets 3x), no job so I will need a sponsor.

Due to the hassles involved for myself and the apartment . I did not sign our rental agreement. I can sign the next one OR I am sure they would be happy to place my name on the initial lease as well.

I think my residence is well established back in US. I have used my parents address for years and have a drivers lic to that address as well.

Finally, my girlfriend has obtained a tourist visa for the US. We will under no circumstance marry on this visa. We did not obtain this visa for marriage. She is just coming back on my annual trip. When they gave her the visa the CO smiled and told her she was not to marry and if she so desired to return for that type of visa. Can I interpret this in any way that they might be open to doing a DCF as she has a visa out of BKK and they saw my pp and know my history of more or less living here and bouncing around Asia?

My plan was to stay on but I see it more financially prudent to perhaps return to work while I have sound assets and can use my parents as a backstop.

Thx

I do not know if you would be able to file DCF in Bangkok based on your residency there. However, with regards to your K-1 question, you cannot file for a K-1 directly at the embassy.

With regards to getting married, you can marry in the USA, but would avoid filing for AOS here based on your comments above. The issue would be entering with a tourist visa with the intent to marry and adjust status. It's all about intent upon entry. Nothing wrong with getting married, filing the I-130 (or I-129f for that matter if you don't marry), remaining in the US for the legal amount of time (until the I-94 end date) then returning to Bangkok for the interview.

Is is possible (possible) to do a DCF on a tourist visa?

- We tried but it did not work for us.

Would the embassy accept O visa out of KL based on marriage as ability to file via DCF

- Yes.

Can I do a K-1 filing via DCF?

- No. Only CR1 or IR1 can be processed through DCF Bangkok.

Hope it helps. Good luck

Thanks to you both. I think I will just stay on and as my parents age, go back then. File CR1 in five years.

We will not marry in US.

We're now in 2018. My main question is this: Can you apply for a tourist visa with DCF?
