Hello Everyone,

I am new here and just started my K-1 visa for my fiancee Sao, in Bangkok. It would be nice to find as many people as I can that are in the process of doing Visa's in Thailand and maybe add them to my "friends" list. :)

I have been reading this website every night since I joined and I am really happy that this website is here. It is a great and wonderful help to "meet" people that are going, or already have been throught what I am going through. So if anyone is interested in sharing or just want to talk don't hesitate to contact me.

Thanks Everyone,

Randy

Welcome to VJ!!

here is the forum for people who go through Bangkok for their K-1.. it's not very active right now but if you post questions I'm sure people will come answer :blush: Also there's a lot of info in there so if you read up you will have a pretty good idea of the process through BKK....

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...amp;hl=sawasdee

K-1 = 4 months

AOS = 5 months

I-751 = almost one year
