Tourist Visa for Wife

[Teddy B 17,252]

True, but if they're going to school I'm willing to bet it's longer than a year, so she'd need a reentry permit. That's a possibility.

Alternatively, getting a green card and surrendering it has worked for some people as proof you don't intend to stay when applying for tourist visas. It's expensive and annoying, but it's been done.

I understand where you're coming from. Either way going the spousal visa route for a greencard is going to be an expensive and possibly temporary fix.

Presumably she needed a visa to study in Taiwan, she will have evidence of her enrolment and presumably the tuition fees paid.

Unfortunately with the lack of strong ties to Brazil and you being a US Citizen spouse, her tourist visa may again be denied. An acceptance letter from the school won't help as she hasn't made any form of commitment to that school such commencing classes and showing ties to Taiwan. It might have helped if she was attending the school already, though it could still be denied even then. Maybe someone who has succeeded doing this will offer more insight.

This is exactly what we learned when I tried to get a tourist visa.

The only way to know would be for her to apply. Even if the actual visa is granted the person may be denied entry at the POE.

These cases always hinge on proving without doubt the person must return. If this cant be done there will be no visa.

I've been reading up on the spouse visa. My funds and income are very...very underwhelming. Honestly, I don't see it as much of an option.

I know i have a big uphill battle, but I think we have to consider the tourist visa and find a way to give us the best chance

I'd assume there is a scholarship or other form of assistant in Taiwan, that would cover both for the duration of studies?

Is the duration of study a 4 year degree,something longer or a technical 2-year?

What is the plan after that? Return to Brasil, move to the US, remain in Taiwan/Asia?

Is the plan of going to study firm? Can it be delayed, say 1 year?

Asking to get a better idea of whether a DCF, CR or something else might be a possibility.
