[Niels Bohr 72]

I haven't seen him in ages. Where is Yodrak?

[Amby 490]

Yodrak the Great is gone. Connie, when you stay away from VJ, you miss all the action.

If you read his last posts you will get a good idea as to why he hasn't returned to VJ. Its a shame and a great loss to this site.

No good deeds go unpunished. The evil of pure justice. Very powerful oxy-moron.

Yodrak is a SHE

How can "she" has a wife?

Robert,

Exactly.

Not everyone outside of Thailand knows Thai law - say the words 'wedding' or 'marriage' and they will expect that you are married without even realizing to ask about registration at the amphur.

Even many Thai people think this way. When she was my girlfriend, I used to think that my wife had previously been married - she told me that she had been. She twice applied for B2 visas (and was twice approved) indicating on the DS-156 that she was divorced. Then when it was time for me to submit my I-129f petition I told her we needed her divorce certificate, and she replied 'what divorce certificate - I don't have one'. Only then did we sort out that although she'd had a wedding ceremony the 'marriage' had never been registered. No problem for the petition, but we did have to explain to the consulate why, on her third visa application, for the K1, she was single (never married) when on the first two applications she was divorced.

Fortunately, the consular officer accepted the explanation with the comment 'I understand, it's common practice' and we did not have to get a sworn statement to that effect. Also, I believe it helped that her name was written on her passport as 'Miss' - that's when I learned that once married a Thai woman is a 'Mrs.' forever after, even when divorced.

Yodrak

SHE even stated she was a SHE on a few occations, if anyone was ever paying attention

Geezes. It's look like Yodrak is dead forever. The newbie probably will have to do justice with some mis-information.
