Questions about former marriages, etc.

I'm sorry, but as a mother of 2, I just cannot see how any mother would want to leave their child behind and try to start a new life in another country without them if they are a minor child.

Can't you just stick to answering the OP's question?

good luck!

Hey Littleasianman7,

We had a similar situation. My wife also had children but was never 'officially' married (very common in Thailand). On all the K-1 forms we indicated she was single, because that is the truth (never officially married by law). We also listed her daughter on all forms, as required. At the interview, we did have to file an extra form, which we got from the local police of her city, stating that she was single and available to marry. I can't remember what it was called (Certificate of Eligibility to Marry, or something like that)...but it was easy to get (took about a day). From what I have seen on the Sawasdee2 thread, that form is now requested as a part of package 3, but it wasn't listed when we had our interview.

So, list her as single and put her daughter's name on all the paperwork. In packet 3 or 4 (can't remember which one), you'll indicate on that paperwork if her daughter will be immigrating also. In your case, you'll state no...and you should have no issues.

Peace to you and your fiancee and good luck on your Visa Journey!
