US Immigration from Thailand

Hello! I am a U.S. citizen and my Thai wife wants to come visit my family in the United States. We don't want to settle in the States (yet) as we will spend several years in Thailand so she can get a full retirement. We were married in a traditional Thai ceremony (not registered with the Thai government yet). We have not gotten married in the U.S. yet. She tried a few years ago to get a tourist visa to visit the U.S. (when she had an American boyfriend) but was denied, likely because she was not completely forthcoming with the immigration officials (she tried four times to no avail.) She is an elementary school principal, owns a house and other property, so I suspect should be able to get a visa easily (had she not messed things up the first four times...) My question, what visa should we seek for her to visit in the U.S.? Because we're not going to settle in the U.S. yet, should we avoid a K-1 visa, for instance. Can she just apply for a tourist visa again? (Or, when she tells them she is married to me will they smell a rat if she's not seeking a K-1 visa, for instance?)

Thank you very much for any advice or hand-holding you can offer me!

Hello everyone,

I anticipate my fianc arriving mid august. I will be moving from South Carolina to Michigan beginning of October. We will be living with my brother until We buy a house. Any advice or tips on how to do the process with that move in there? File for ssn in SC? Use brothers address on all the AOS forms?

I planned to wait until we move to MI to get married.

Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated.

Guys,

My wife and I are filing N-400 application on line based on the 5-year basis.

1) I'm wondering what type of tax transcript that I need to provide as an evident. I have access to my IRS Tax Transcript online and there are different type we can choose from, Return Transcript, Account Transcript, Record of Account Transcript, Wage & Income Transcript?

2) In the beginning, the first year of becoming U.S. permanent resident we didn't filed the Tax Return since we're not required to because of our income below threshold. Can we use "Wage & Income Transcript" to proof that we didn't have to filed that year?

Appreciate your kind response on this.

Eddy and Amy.

Hello everyone,

Does anyone have any information about DCF in South Africa? My fiance and I are getting married in a few months and would like to stay together as much as possible throughout the process. We are currently in Thailand, but will be moving there for the wedding shortly.

Kind regards,

Dewald & Brittney.

Hi all!

I have a quick question: Can a US citizen petition (for a green card ) their stepchild/stepchildren who are under 21 years old?

Thanks!
