Wish I had an answer for you that I knew was correct. I'm not sure it is so much a matter of the length of your residency but more so your ability to show that you live here permanently (or can provide documentation of it). For me, it was proof of a bank account, motorcycle registration, driver's license, and a utility bill. 

As far as marrying a Cambodian in Thailand, I'm not sure. Number one, you will have to register the marriage and show a copy your marriage certificate, and I'm not sure you can even get one seeing as how you are both foreigners. But again, that is just a guess on my part. On the other hand, I don't see why you couldn't get married here and register it.... Thailand really just marches to its own beat. 

Once you I-130 is approved, they send a link for Packet 3... for that you will need your wife's passport page, previous marriage licenses and divorces, her birth certificate, stuff related to any children you have with her, a completed DS-260 which is done online, and a few other things such as an I-864 Income affidavit proving you can support her (along with supporting documents). Also since some of those things are not in English, they will have to be translated, which means you will have to provide both copies. It is a pain in the ###. Honestly now that I have done this, I think it would be easier to get a K-1 Fiancee visa, applying in the US. For the IR1, it isn't too bad provided you can get all of the things they want. Is there any way you can do a DCF in Cambodia?
