I think some consideration should also be given to the long term effect of where the marriage takes place. I was married a few decades ago here in Thailand and my wife went to the US on a CR1, back then it was easy. Now that Im living in Thailand the marriage having taken place here simplfies things in regards to visas and what not.
Yes. If she can demonstrate strong ties to Thailand (she needs to return), weak ties to the USA (no reason to remain), and has the financial resources to pay for her visit (no need to work to support herself while in the USA). Not easy, but possible.
The K1 worked best for us. When she landed in Dallas TX there was 1 covid case in San Antonio. We got married within the 90 day requirement and she received her green card. She is now on her second green card awaiting her citizenship interview. It was not easy and not cheap. We will be married 5 years in March. I hope she gets her interview soon.
One would imagine that she's now at risk of having that stripped away and to be deported, considering they're going after even birthright and naturalized citizens
@@minethesky Denaturalization Efforts: Trump has expressed intentions to expand the use of denaturalization, which is the legal process of revoking citizenship if it was obtained through fraud or misrepresentation during the naturalization process. This initiative, often referred to as "Operation Second Look," has seen an increase in investigations into naturalized citizens, particularly those where there might be suspicions of fraud in their naturalization applications. However, this targets individuals who have obtained citizenship through potentially fraudulent means, not all naturalized citizens.
Why would we want an Thai wife or girlfriend ? I'm 57. Hmm...... I can get a 20 some odd year old beautiful girl. Thais have traditional values which I love. Thais are not as entitled as women in the US. Thais are more loyal and loving. If you find a girl, especially one who grew up in poverty, she will appreciate everything you provide for her. People will say "oh she is using you for money". To that I reply " look at me and look at her" who is using whom ? It's just money. It's easy to make.

What if you're just dating and you want gf, not a fiance, to visit the U.S.? Is a U.S. visa possible under that circumstance?
How ya gonna keep them down on the farm once they've seen Paris ? ( So to speak )

If you get married in Thailand and do not register the marriage with the US embassy can you still apply for the K-1 or tourist visa?
Do you think the situation would be different for 2 people of the same sex, given that gay marriage is now legal in Thailand ?
The GOP in the US is working to make that illegal
Hopefully present day USCIS becomes as streamlined as the last administrations open border...with adequate checks and balances of course :-)
