The discussion here was quite lively at one point in the recent past. What happened?! :huh2:

Your signature says "I-865" Do you mean I-864 or I-765?

Typo, #######! Good catch. I-765. Fixing now.

Hmm, I didn't think my posts were THAT incoherent. I guess I'll stop posting after my 12th beer from now on :blink::lol:

(I'm going for the IR-1 and blowing off the K-3. Even if it takes an extra couple months, it's worth it to not have to deal with USCIS again)

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Note:

Please fill out I-130, wait 6 months for approval, then 3 more months for an interview. (Unless of course we've bombed your country into the stone age, then you qualify for expedited processing.)

Welcome to the USA!!!

I know. Besides, after too many beers, my posts are too difficult to criticize since they don't resemble any modern language.

hi all,

i need some help please. my husband's best friend has a predicament. he had a child with a girl in thailand, prior to meeting his wife and getting married. i will try to just use bullets so you can see it all quickly rather than a long drawn out story.

the knowns:

child is his, through dna testing

wants to bring child here

child not mentioned at all on any immigration documents

the unknowns:

whether or not the father is on the birth certificate (hope to know that today)

if it is possible to petition for the child (now six)

any insight is greatly appreciated apparently the mother has married an moved to singapore and left the child behind with an ailing grandparent so he would like to move rather quickly.

thank you!

Sent the K1 packet last week, checked the tracking number and it got delivered on Friday. Hoping it all goes well and looking forward to visiting BKK in January.

Anyone know if having a B2 helps at all for going through interview? Is there some sort of background checks they might have already done?

Hmm, this sounds complicated. I'm assuming the ultimate goal is to bring the child to the U.S. with him? Perhaps a lawyer is in order.

They will perform background checks on you and your fiancee during the K1 process. I would assume at least a simple check is done before issuing a tourist visa as well. Not sure if receiving a tourist visa in itself has any effect on your K1 since they are different types of visas, but B2s are not easy to obtain for Thai citizens, so it seems like all should be well for you. My wife was unable to obtain a tourist visa and still received a K1 so... Just speculation though.

Yeah I was just curious if it might speed up the process. I'm not too worried about her receiving a K1, she's a professional and speaks perfect english.
