I'm not sure for any of the DCF or IR-1/CR-1 asks how you met each other like the I-129f does or not. If ever asked how they met they would have to be honest with that because it sounds like they met in Pattaya from reading the first post.

No, The I-130 doesn't ask that I can remember, but they'll ask at the interview.

I didn't know there was a difference between the waitress and the bar girls... I've always been told anyone in the bar is fair game. You might just have to hope for a naive interviewer. I've known many Thai strippers in the US that came here on K1 or marriage. They would never in a million years work as a bar girl but for some reason stripping in the US is not bad but of course they still don't tell their family. I hope you have thick skin if for some reason it doesn't work out the way you foresee. Just remember there's always another girl that will treat you as good if not better. If kept properly men are like wine and get better with age ;)

I would highly recommend that you speak with an immigration attorney. We worked with Brian Wright and the process was very smooth. As others have said, her prior work in a bar, even as a waitress, will raise suspicion. In all honesty, any woman working in a bar in Pattaya in any capacity most likely also goes home with the customers sometimes for money. Working as a prostitute at any time in her past is grounds for denial of a visa. However, I would seek the advice of a professional.

Yep. That's just how it is in Pattaya. It's also like that in Cowboy, Patpong, and Nana. If they're working there, it's a very high probability you can bar-fine them.
