Lots of people come to the Kingdom of Thailand and find true love. The ladies of Thailand are some of the most beautiful and kind women on the planet. Therefore, many United States Citizens seek to have their Thai fiancee join them in the USA.

In an effort to bring their loved one to the United States of America, some American men seek to use Immigration methods that are both dishonest and can cause many more problems than they solve. Some people attempt to avoid filing for a US fiancee visa for a Thai loved one. For the most part, those wishing to avoid the K1 process are seeking to evade what they believe is a longer processing period for that visa category. As an example, the methodical use of US B-2 tourist visas to take Thai fiancees to the United States has been widely recognized. This Immigration scenario usually ends badly because the Thai fiance is often denied the visa at the United States Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand or worse refused entry to at the Immigration checkpoint in the United States. Further problems can arise when the Thai lady attempts to adjust status to permanent residence after marrying an American in the US on a B-2 visa.

Since September 11th 2001, the United States Embassy in Bangkok has been more vigilant in verifying the bona fides of US Tourist Visa applications, the result of this vigilance is a comparatively higher denial rate. The upshot of this higher Tourist visa denial rate is that some American men look to the F-1 Student visa as an alternative route for bringing their Thai loved one to the USA. This strategy is inadvisable due to the fact that using a US Student visa with immigrant intent could result in unforeseen legal effects. Submitting misleading documentation to US Consular officers will not only lead to a finding of excludability from the USA, but could also lead to criminal sanctions. Thus, if one seeks entry to the United States in order to marry therein, then it is advisable to use the K1 visa as it is the correct type of travel document.
