While there are many the parts of the k1 fiancee visa or fiancee visa application or k1 fiancee visa process, the focus of this article is on the interview at the US Embassy because it is the most crucial aspect of the k1 fiancee visa process.

Our firm operates in Thailand and we are Thailand’s largest and oldest US Immigration Law Firm who does k1 fiancee visa. That’s why; I am only qualified to talk about the immigrant visa interview at the US Embassy in Bangkok. While similarities may exist between embassies, neither you nor I should assume this.

First, I will begin by telling you that the k1 fiancee visa interview and k1 fiancee visa document requirements are changeable from month to month and year to year, and more specifically from counselor officer to counselor officer.

The counselor officer is the most important and influencing factor in the k1 fiancee visa interview. The officer is his/her own boss and has the sole discretion to approve or deny the k1 fiancee visa application. With this in mind I will begin by giving you a feel for the officers most recently posted at the American Embassy in Bangkok, going back just three years.

Counselor officers generally rotate out approximately once a year, but this varies greatly. In the immigrant visa section there is only one officer assigned at a time to handle all interviews. Up to 25 interviews per day. In the last year and a half there have been three officers. Two worked approximately 7 months each and the third took the position on June 15th of this year. Prior to the previous three officers one officer remained in the position for a period of 1 ½ years. The fact that this officer remained longer than normal was beneficial to all. He knew his job inside out, upside down, backwards and sideways. He was professional, polite, friendly and helpful. He understood one important and basic thing that most other officers don’t understand (however it is becoming more and more apparent that the current counselor officer understands this as well) and that is: that 99.9% of Thai ladies appearing for a K1 fiancee visa interview don’t use American men to circumvent the US immigration laws to gain entry into America.

While ladies from other countries may more often try to use American men to circumvent the immigration laws to enter the USA, Thai ladies love Thailand, the culture, their families, friends, Thai food, Thai TV, and the King. The vast majority would never dream of leaving Thailand if they didn’t have a stronger love for their American fiancée or husband.

Second, the counselor officer needs to determine (to his or her satisfaction) that you and your fiancee / husband have a real relationship. That you did not artificially create a relationship with an American citizen as a way to gain entry into the USA. Properly presented, the evidence you provide the counselor officer to prove a real relationship needs to be very substantial and convincing.

The United States government issues 55,000 Green Cards every year through the USA Green Card Lottery. Applicants are selected randomly by a computer generated drawing. If selected, the main applicant, spouse and all unmarried children under 21 years of age will have a chance to receive permanent resident status in the United States.

You must be native of a country with a low immigration rate to the U.S.A. to qualify for the Green Card Lottery. People born in countries with high U.S. immigration are excluded from this lottery. Please see the list below of countries whose natives are currently excluded from the Green Card Lottery. Please note that eligibility is determined only by the country of birth, not based on country of citizenship or current residence. This is the most common misperception.

The following countries are excluded from the lottery program (subject to change): China (mainland only) Vietnam South Korea Philippines Brazi Peru Ecuador Pakistan India Mexico Jamaica United Kingdom (except N.Ireland) Canada Dominican Republic Colombia Haiti El Salvador Poland

Education or Work experience

You must comply to one of the following two requirements (Option 1 or Option 2 below) to qualify for the Green Card Lottery:

You must have completed a foreign equivalent of U.S. high school education “High School education or its equivalent” means the successful completion of a twelve year course of elementary and secondary education in the U.S. or successful completion in another country of a formal course of elementary and secondary education comparable to complete a 12 year education in the U.S.Passage of a high school equivalency examination is not sufficient. It is permissible to have completed one’s education in less than twelve years or greater than twelve years if the course of study completed is equivalent to a U.S. high school education.

There are 170 million US Visas granted to aliens visiting the country in 2007. They go to US to visit, tour its many attractions, get a job or live there permanently. If a foreign national wishes to enter the United States, he or she must acquire a visa. The following are some types of foreign nationals who must first acquire a visa if they wish to enter US territory: The foreign national must not be a citizen of the 34 countries under the Visa Waiver Program. A foreign national who is not a citizen of Bermuda or Canada can apply for a visa. He also needs a visa if he has a legal prohibition for a visa-free travel such as health grounds, criminal records and the like. Mexican citizens have separate requirements from other foreign nationals. There are two types of US visas. These are non-immigrant and immigrant. Non-immigrant visas are used for temporary travels or visits, which are for work, studying, business and tourism purposes. Immigrant visa on the other hand are used by a person who wishes to become a permanent resident in the US without a time limitation. United States visas do not approve of the foreign nationals entry to the US nor do it approve of the foreign nationals stay in the country in a meticulous status. This is a very popular misconception among Americans and aliens. Visas in this country are only a preliminary authorization given to foreign nationals in order for them to travel within the country as well as to seek admittance to the country at some point of entry. The final admittance to the US in a specific status and for a specific time is prepared at the point of entry by a US Immigration officer. The US immigration officer records the details on the foreign nationals Form I-94 for foreign nationals with a non-immigrant visa status. Form I-94 W is for the citizens for countries under the Visa Waiver Program. This serves as the authorized document allowing the foreign nationals stay within the United States territory for a specific period of time and in a specific non-immigrant visa position. Denial of Visa Section 212 G of the Immigration and Nationality Act of the United States. There are several classes of foreign nationals not qualified to receive a visa. Some of the grounds for a visa denial may include the following but are not limited to: criminal grounds, health grounds, security grounds, Not Qualified for Citizenship Immigration violators or Illegal Entrants, Formerly Removed from the United States, Failure to Present the Requested Documents, and Public Charge – meaning burden to the public. Qualification for Approval The applicants for the visitor visas must demonstrate that they are indeed qualified under the Immigration and Nationality Act provisions. The assumption in the rule is that every visa applicant visitor, with an exemption of employment-related applicants, is a proposing immigrant. Therefore, visitor visa applicants must prove that they are the following: They are planning to remain for a particular limited period. The sole purpose of their visit is for pleasure, medical treatment, or business. They have a house or a residence outside the country along with other obligatory ties (like family and business), which ensure their return in their own country at the end of the US visit.
