			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>by Brian Wright</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>Our firm operates in Thailand and we are Thailand&#8217;s largest and oldest US Immigration Law Firm who does k1 fiancee visa. That&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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&#8217;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&#8217;t use American men to circumvent the US immigration laws to gain entry into America.</p>
<p>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&#8217;t have a stronger love for their American fiancée or husband.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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</p>
<p>Education or Work experience</p>
<p>You must comply to one of the following two requirements (Option 1 or Option 2 below) to qualify for the Green Card Lottery:</p>
<p>You must have completed a foreign equivalent of U.S. high school education &#8220;High School education or its equivalent&#8221; 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&#8217;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.</p>

<p>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 &#8211; 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.</p>

<p>The immigration process is very difficult especially to a country like the United States. There is a specific set of rules which have to be followed. There are various processes which have to be followed correctly. A little variation or wrongly followed rule or process can degrade your chances of migrating to the United States.</p>
<p>In the US, the general immigration laws are determined by the federal government. The states create their own patterns of the immigration policies and these are done according to the federal laws. You have to follow the same rules and processes in the United States whether you are in California or South Carolina. Proper advice of an immigration lawyer is very helpful as he can guide you through the whole process.</p>
<p>How can an Immigration Attorney Help You?</p>
<p>When you hire a good immigration attorney, you can make sure that you get the best legal advice from a person who knows everything and can help you follow everything according to the rules when you apply for citizenship in the US. Even if you commit a violation, the attorneys can help you out in some way as they have the means and the right knowledge needed to defend you.</p>
<p>Even if the immigration lawyers guides you on everything you need to successfully migrate, you should still have the knowledge about the various rules and regulations so you are not fully dependent upon the lawyers. You should know what should do and what you shouldn&#8217;t. The immigration rules of the United States are very strict and hiring a good lawyer can go a long way in getting your application approved for citizenship or immigrant status.</p></div>

<p>America&#8217;s Earliest Immigrants</p>
<p>Although he most likely wasn&#8217;t the first immigrant, Ponce de Leon travelled to what is now Florida in 1513.  His discovery led other Spaniards to travel to The New World that is now America, and their numbers quickly spread throughout the Southwest and the western Coastal areas of what would later become the United States.  Their influence is still felt today in those areas&#8217; architecture, customs and cultures. </p>
<p>The English explorers, seeking a passage to the trade-rich Indies, were sent to America in the 16th century.  King James I established a permanent outpost at Jamestown, Virginia that attracted more adventurers seeking their fortunes in the original colonies of America.  They were naturally followed by those who sought religious and political freedom in the vast, untamed lands of North America. </p>
<p>People from all over Europe trickled into what would become the United States during the 16th and 17th centuries, providing the base from which our modern population originated.  The country was well on its way to becoming the wonderful &#8220;melting pot&#8221; that we have today.</p>
<p>The Journey to the Present</p>
<p>Ellis Island is what most modern history students think of when they hear the term &#8220;immigration&#8221;.  In the early 1800&#8217;s, nearly five million people immigrated from Northern and Western Europe for a variety of reasons, famine chief among them.</p>
<p>In just the twenty short years between 1840-1860, waves of immigrants from Ireland fled to America to escape the potato famine and Germans fled to our shores to escape economic and political unrest and tragedy.  Ellis Island was the landing pad, so to speak, where these immigrants were processed and admitted to the country.  Although they often found prejudice and cruelty, they also found acceptance and freedom and the chance to realize their dreams of personal and financial freedom. </p>
<p>These immigrants from Europe and other nations eagerly learned the language and customs of America while still treasuring their own traditions and culture.  It wasn&#8217;t unusual to see an American school child, living and working like all of his friends and classmates, return in the evening to a home that served traditional German food and whose elders spoke their mother tongue-but only in the privacy of their home, never among the general public.  They were, after all, Americans!  This attitude shaped a new United States and strengthened society and the economy more than anyone knew at the time.  </p>
<p>Immigration Today</p>
<p>Today, immigration laws are very confusing to Americans themselves as well as to those who would like to become citizens.  Misinformation and contradictory attitudes contribute to many disappointed families as well as legal trouble for potential citizens.  Since immigration laws are almost constantly changing due to economic or political conditions, it would be a wise move for anyone wanting to immigrate to the United States to consult with or engage and Immigration law firm.</p>
<p>Attorneys that are familiar with immigration laws and their frequent changes are able to guide a person in the correct way to legally become a citizen of America.  Due to misinformation in the countries where immigrants originate, a well meaning person could well walk past the borders on the way to a promised job and citizenship only to be deported at their own expense.  They often find themselves in a much worse position in their original homeland than when they began their journey. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s not difficult to engage the services of a law firm that specializes in immigration law.  Consultations are often free or available at a nominal cost and the attorneys will educate their client on exactly what steps they need to take to successfully immigrate.  They will know their limitations, which forms they will need to fill out and where to submit them.  A good immigration attorney will make citizenship much easier and less costly.</p>
<p>America has always welcomed those who want to call her home.  The path to immigration may be confusing these days but to those who truly want to become citizens, it will be worth it.</p></div>

<p>Every year, thousands of foreign nationals flock to America to study, work, or settle down and make a living. Referred to as the land of opportunities, America promises a better livelihood for many foreigners who struggle to make ends meet in lesser developed nations. Getting an immigration visa is the only legal way to enter the United States of America. There are different immigrant visas thrown open to foreigners based on their needs. Of all the visas the Permanent Resident Card, also known as the Green Card, is the most important and the most beneficial. A Permanent Resident Card holder is entitled to enjoy all the rights of an American citizen, except the right to vote and to apply for federal jobs. Also, a Permanent Resident Card ensures easier and faster transition into American citizenship.</p>
<p>The U.S. Diversity Visa Lottery, commonly known as the Green Card Lottery program, is a golden opportunity for all foreigners who wish to make a living in the United States legally. This <a href="http://usa-green-card.com/GreenCard/Usa_green_card_lottery.htm">Green Card Lottery program</a> is organised by the U.S. Department of State annually to enable 50,000 foreigners from lesser developed nations migrate legally into the U.S.A. However, to win a Green Card Lottery, you will have to meet all the green card requirements as specified by the Immigration Department.</p>
<p>Every year certain countries are given the green card eligibility to participate in the Green Card Lottery program and certain countries are removed from the list. This is based on the number of immigrants a country sends in the last five years. If this number exceeds 50,000 then the respective country is denied the green card eligibility to participate. Hence, if you hail from a country that is eligible to participate in the Green Card Lottery program, then you have satisfied the first of the Green Card Lottery requirements. Following this, you must possess an educational qualification that is the equivalent of high school education in America. If you are looking to find a job in the United States, then you should have a minimum of two years of relevant work experience in the last five years. If you do not meet these Green Card Lottery requirements, then the Green Card Lottery is not your cup of tea, because you will be rejected straightaway.</p>
<p>The Green Card Lottery program also specifies that you should not be booked under any criminal activity, nor should you suffer from incurable diseases like HIV or Tuberculosis. If you do not have any criminal record, or if you do not suffer from any serious medical condition, then you stand a chance to win a Green Card Lottery. The Green Card Lottery program is an ideal choice for you if you want to bring your immediate family (spouse, children, and parents) to America and settle down. Also, if you are looking for an easy and sure way to acquire an American citizenship, then winning the Green Card Lottery is your best shot.</p>
<p>Having said all that, winning a Green Card Lottery is not child&#8217;s play and extreme care has to be exercised to make your application form error-free. This is where you will need the help from an expert like USA Green Card. USA Green Card hires trained people who offer professional assistance in determining your eligibility for the Green Card Lottery and also help in preparing and reviewing your application forms.</p>
