US Visa Thailand

A K1 visa is a visa that is issued to the Thai fiancée or fiancé of a US citizen. If you plan to marry a US citizen, the visa will give you the clearance and the ability to marry your partner or US petitioner within 90 days of entering the country. It can also be used so you can get married if you plan to leave the country within the same timeframe.

A K3 visa is also available for Thai residents who are already married to US citizens and wish to enter the US as a non-immigrant. Once they enter the US, they can adjust their status to one of a lawful and permanent US resident. They do this by filling out an I-485 form and submitting it to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service or USCIS. This agency is part of the US Department of Homeland Security or DHS.

A CR-1 visa is a type of visa that is used by Thai spouses of US citizens to enter the country as a conditional permanent resident. If you have been married for less than two years, you need to obtain this visa. Otherwise, you need to apply for an IR-1 visa if you’ve been married longer. A sponsor (the US citizen) normally files for a CR-1 visa by submitting a form I-130, or petition for alien relative. The sponsor must show evidence of financial support for the applicant.
