Tight Situation - Seeking Advice

Hello all, I'm seeking for some suggestion or advice from anyone who can help.

I had been divorced twice. My first ex-wife is from China and we had been marry for 4 years using the method K1-Visa. My second ex-wife is also from China and we had been marry for 2 years using CR1/K3-Visa. I know in the eyes of immigration officials my track records really appears to be dreadful. I know I had make a few mistakes in my life and marriage is very serious commitment. I learn from my mistake and I am just like everyone else, searching for the right partner to spend the rest of our life together. I had an opportunity to meet this wonderful woman (introduced by my Aunt) who happens to be living in Thailand.

My question is, does anyone know what is the best method for me to bring her to America with my current status?

* K1 (again)? Which have a good change of denial?

* K3 Way too long of a process

* Have her obtain Tourist Visa? Not sure of the criteria

A friend told me that it is not impossible for me, but I have to pick the right path and be diligent. Any professional advice would totally be appreciated.

God Bless and thank you for your kind suggestions ~

The decision is simple. You arent married to her so you must use the K 1. You can explain your serial marriges to USCIS if they ask. You will submit the divorce docs and it may never come up. Be sure you are ready to prove you have met her at least once and provide further evidence of the relationship. You should be well versed in this.

She can apply for a tourist visa at any time. She will find its very difficult to get one.

Hi Ning, Your input will serve me well and we both apperciate greatly. We will research about the criteria for tourist visa first and if that is difficult as you said, K1 is our next options. Thank you so much for your advice Ning.

My advice is to be confident and ready for a sound explanation when asked.

On face value petitioning for 3 visas raises eyebrows not to mention it is a bit embarrassing to explain but this is life. I know as I have petitioned 3 K-1's over a span of 18 years. I was married for 14 years to an Eastern European on a K-1, then a few years ago I had a second K-1 approved but AFTER travel to US we called it off for personal reasons.

Happy to say that 3rd time may be the charm as my fiancee is boarding a plane in an hour in Colombia!

Our story is a bit different as yours resulted in 2 marriages/divorces and me only 1 but yet this is my third approved K-1 so it is possible. Good luck!

The problem in getting a tourist visa is complying with the strongest ties rule. She must prove beyond a doubt she MUST return to Thailand. The problem with that is the history of fraud by Thais which continues even today. All people with any type of visa are considered intending immigrants which is the essence of the problem.

The only way to know if she can get one is to step up to the window but the chances are not good.
