  1. You are right, we got her police clearence certificate from the Embassy but there were no records available for the deportation. I cant predict what may happen at the embassy, but i can say in our experience that we twisted ourselves in knots about this issue prior to the interview and the embassy didn't ask about it. The questions were only related to how much time we spent together, when was the last time i visited Thailand, etc. We used a professional to prepare our documents and evidence, and like many others on this forum had mentioned, a well prepared visa application with lots of evidence made the interview process a breeze.
  2. As the other posters on this thread had suggested, it wasna complete non issue. The Police Report came back with nothing reflecting the deportation. The embassy did not ask about it and my fiance was only asked 3 or 4 questions and approved on the spot for the Visa. So i would say not ro worry too much
  3. I do have a lawyer for my case, and he advised me that this situation would cause a lot of issues for non immigrant visas, but not so much for K1 Visas and immigrant Visas because my fiance has immigrant intent for the US. We have our interview scheduled in Bangkok on November 30 and we disclosed everything on the DS160. We are hoping that either the consulate doesn't even bother to ask about it (as happened in a similar case on here from a petitioner whose fiance was deported from Jordan) or the clean police certificate will suffice. My lawyer also explained that the US embassy in Thailand is aware that Thais traveling to Korea and overstaying to work is pretty common.
  4. Im in almost the exact same situation. We dont have any documentation and we dont have the passport either, we she renewed her Thai passport and the old passport was kept by the Thai government. We were able to get a police certificate from the Korean Embassy in Thailand showing no criminal record, so we can show this is a civil matter and my fiance has no criminal record. There are a couple of similar posts on here from other people who have dealt with a deportation, and the advice is always to disclose everything and that a previous deportation is not grounds for rejection.
  5. Thanks for the advice. I think we will do that, especially to see if there is any documentation available regarding her detention and deportation
  6. Thanks for the reply. Did the IO or embassy give any pushback to the missing Korea PCC? I have seen many VJ members say the IO will generally require one if the Department of State Website shows that one is available
  7. She doesn't have the passport anymore. It was not returned to her when she received her new passport
  8. I dont believe we have any records of the deportation. She doesn't even have the passport stamp anymore because she changed her name after the returned to Thailand and her old passport wasnt returned. Im looking into the PCC because the Department of State Website shows that the records are obtainable through the Korean Embassy in Bangkok. Im not sure if they are available for non-residents
  9. She was not a legal resident. She lived in Korea for 2 years. She was kept in detention by Korean immigration (not at the airport) until a flight was available to take her back to Thailand. This occured during the early stages of Covid where very few flights were available. We will apply for the police certificate, as it will be required. She will also have to disclose this on her DS-160. I am trying to see how much of a problem this will cause us and see what can be done to put her in the best position to get her visa approved
  10. She was deported. She was detained until she could be put on a flight to Thailand
  11. I am a petitioner for my fiance's K1 Visa from Thailand. We recently received NOA2 and i am waiting for our case number from NVC. My biggest concern is that my. fiance was previously deported from South Korea for overstaying her visa and she is blacklisted permanently from Korea. I consulted with a Visa agency in Thailand and they informed me that while a deportation is not a crime of moral turpitude, it does show a tendency to not follow laws and regulations and could result in a visa denial. I had hoped that since the K1 visa shows immigrant intent, a previous immigration violation in Korea wouldn't matter. Has anyone encountered a similar situation? Any advice would be much appreciated
