Seeking advice for Thai/US couple - What US visa path to take?
PeachyTocker posted a topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures,
My gf and I live in Thailand but spend 2-4months in the US per year. Once/if we have children age 5+, the time split would become vice versa. We have no plans to live full-time in the United States in the next 5 years, but I visit my family and friends 2-3x per year for 2-3 weeks at a time. I would love it if she can join me for those trips and experience that part of my life. What options do we have -- US visa wise, maybe a tourist or fiance visa later? Other?

2 RepliesOur K-1 visa status on CEAC recently changed to "Approved" but the K-2 status (4 year old daughter) is still stuck at "Application Received." Has anyone else experienced this? Do you know how long it might be until K-2 changes to Approved? I'm only concerned becuase we are on such a tight schedule / need to fly out by the end of this month (July) due to pregnancy flight restrictions. Thanks!

6 RepliesFor logistical reasons, her going back to South Africa to renew her visa isn't a good option. It's incredibly complicated.
She is currently in the US visiting me and her visa expires this year.
Is it possible to renew or reapply for a US visa here in the US?
