Well, this is a peculiar situation, and I just don't know the answers. This is not about me, my marriage to my Kenyan lady and her subsequent immigration to be with me in the USA is over and done, and we're very happy together. This is about my brother-in-law.

My Kenyan brother-in-law, and his USA Citizen fiancee both live and work in Thailand as English teachers. My brother-in-law has come here to the USA with his fiancee to visit her family, and us this last January. He got a multi-entrance tourist visa. They are now back in Thailand...because of work obligations. They are planning to come back here soon, and get married here, so her rather large family can participate, during a break from their jobs. They plan to go back to Thailand after the wedding.

It is not their intention at this time to come back to the states to live and work...not now, but at some time in the next few years it is a possibility, hence it doesn't seem to me like immediately doing a DCF for immigration is the right thing.....but...after being married to a US Citizen, but both still residing in foreign country, can he get a tourist visa again for travel to the USA to visit family for Christmas and such, or does the fact that he is married to a US Citizen make this travel more difficult, if they are not immediately going thru the immigration process?

It's a peculiar situation. Any info would be appreciated.

** Moving from DCF to Tourist visa forum as question is about that visa ****

There are two schools of thought- marriage to a US citizen generally makes it more difficult to get a tourist visa. But having used a tourist visa lawfully several times, and the US citizen having ties abroad and no plans to move back can help get one.

I just wanted to let you know that I am very happy to hear that you and your wife are together and are happy. I know the Embassy gave you a boat load of trouble for quite a long time, so I'm glad to hear that good news. Good luck with everything with your brother-in-law. Stay blessed.
