Done for 3 years or 10 years. Haven't decided yet.

(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 dunno, K-1 and K-3 visas applicants were not forced to use the the new DS-160 application system in China, so

maybe not, as well, for BKK.

Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

I would prefer if they stay with the DS-156 "manual" application, at least until we get through but if not, I think we can manage. I am just wondering if they will also start the increased Visa Application fee ($350) May 12, 2010. I only need to pay one application fee. But I know someone in Bangkok bringing two children. That would be $1,050.

Naturalization N-400
