US Immigration from Thailand

My husband tried to file I-130 via the uscis website but he can't pay and submit the form. It always shows Pending Client Signature as show in the picture. Please help us to go to the next step.

Hello really looking for some guidance here and also sending this as a warning to others.

We interviewed Wednesday at 830.

Friday morning we received a text message that stated we had an undeliverable package.

We clicked the link "tnt-express.com"

Upon clicking it, it caused the Line App to open to a company "flash Express" (lower case f) , not TNT Express.

We left them a message saying we were waiting for our passport and curious if they had it. They called back later that night and spokr with my wife. The staff asked her to download the Flash Express app and change several permissions on her phone for the app. Nothing came from the app but they then messaged my wife with a picture of a dark brown envelope with a bit of visible water damage. However, they blurred out there name on the envelope and after we hung up deleted it. The envelope looked quite thin. They told us they would deliver to us 9AM and that currently our envelope was in Ayuthaya but they would deliver in the morning. In the morning we actually saw Flash Express driver who didn't have our package. I finally called TNT Express this morning and the agent advised me that another customer had reported that URL as a scam.

It was only then that I started to put the pieces together and started to see signs that this was possibilly a scam.

Few questions if you could please help.

1. Did your status change to "In transit?" prior to delivery? Ours still says "Issued" which makes me wonder if it really ever even hit the mail yet.

2. Do you remember the color and size?

3. Did a courier like Flash Express or TNT Express handle your package at all or was it all done by Thai post?

4. Did you ever get any sort of tracking #??

Thanks any info you all can provide. At this point the worst case is we have a damaged visa and best case is it isn't even in the mail yet but wife is panicking. Feel really dumb I have never fallen for anything like this but being in a different country and so anxious about this visa we weren't thinking clearly.

So my wife arrived on her CR1 visa on 8/19. When I filled out the DS-260, I checked the box for the social security card to be issued. It said we should have it within three weeks of arrival. Well, it didn t come.

today we went to the local Social Security office and they told us she did not have a number issued yet and asked if we d like to fill out an application. So we did. Then we were told they had to have USCIS verify her alien status which could take 4-6 weeks. She said we d get a letter in the mail when this was done and then they would issue a card.

in my view this is beyond ridiculous. Has anyone else experienced this?

Good evening all,

Yui and I met in 2017 before I transited to South Asia for work. We met at a christmas party and became friends though we lost contact until 2021 when my ex wife and I reconnected with old friends. I was divorced in Oct, Nov 2022 and after that Yui and I casually dated and became serious after my divorce out of respect for my ex wife family who I still hold in regard. She lived with me on most days after that in my home and we traveled together and eventually lived together full time in her apartment until May 27 2024. So we have many years of history. I am now filing K1 and have tons of pictures, chat photos, visa stamps, pictures of her house book and her previous addresses and work history. The only thing I am worried about is Thailand, like most places, if she is a sales and guest services person who makes her money bringing people into restaurants and bar or pool hall locations to get tourists to enjoy without having a contract, is this a problem? I would think not, as this is common for women who are living in the city who are from outside of town, like from Isaan and Korat and Supan or other places. She has no criminal record, never been married. I have all my divorce decrees from previous marriages, I am gainfully employed and have copies of my record of employment, visa stamps and my work permit which will establish why I was there and prove that I was in a normal relationship with her. I have a lawyer locally in Bangkok who could help us navigate any sticky points, but I am essentially following the guide for K1 here and will have nearly a 50 page document with tons of evidence of the fact that we are truly a couple now and seeking marriage in the USA.

Just curious if there are others who have married other ...I hate to say this, women who work the bar circuit for short term contracts, as she speaks english and a bit of Japanese and is very suitable in this role as a guest services agent. She is not a working girl, never has been but I am worried about any stigma, as she has not worked for a proper company, like we do in the states, and she has been doing her best to make ends meet while taking care of her family. she actually owns a home in Korat and I have her Blue book for that as well which should demonstrate competency and history.

Just looking for advice here. I think we are good to go and are very well documented, but if there is a snag that I need to be aware of before I submit the application, please let me know.

Thank you all and good luck in your Visa Journey. BTW, I immigrated my ex wife from Philippines in a similar fashion, but at the time we only had a few weeks over a few months together and she had little work history as well.

We were approved with no problem, were married and she became a citizen. After 8.5 years when I needed to go to Asia to build my international business resume (CV) she "set me free" and filed a no contest divorce and I left the country.

Have all the proof

Is it worth adding that to the narrative or keep it simple?

We are honest people just trying to find love and support like many of you. the process seems much more complex now but I am confident we will be successful.

Some of the places she worked have now closed, which again is common, especially considering Covid 19 destroyed many businesses and frankly Bangkok is still recovering.

Thoughts??

I plan to file everything next week. My divorce from Thailand as well as our intention to meet letter from her which is signed is on its way with passport photos, etc.

I think we are good to go...

We just had our interview today and we were curious on some of your timelines out there for how long it took for you to get your passport back in hand. We chose the option to have our passport delivered to the Lak Si post office because it was the closest to the embassy, but curious what experiences you all had so that we can try to plan accordingly thank you.
