Q: What is in The Guide?
A: The Guide contains an overview of the fiance visa process, and most
important of all, over 60 actual questions asked by embassy personnel for the fiancee visa.
Q: How did the author get access to this information?
A: The author has operated a translation business for years and routinely performs translations and proof
reading of visa applications and correspondence related to obtaining fiance (K1) visas.
Priceless information was gleaned on the factors that affect the granting or denial of visas.
Q: Is the information in The Guide private or confidential?
A: No, but it is closely guarded by immigration lawyers in order that they can charge thousands of dollars
for visa and immigration assistance.
Q: How were the fiance visa questions obtained?
A: The questions were obtained from ladies after they completed the fiancee visa process.
Q: Why is The Guide available in both Thai and English?
A: Because it is critical that the Thai lady understand the questions she will be asked and how
she should prepare in order to have the best chances of passing.
Q: I have heard that sometimes the lady will be asked trick questions.
Does The Guide contain hints or information on this?
A: Yes, and more. The Guide also contains information regarding certain questions that are not trick questions
at all, but are potentially troublesome. For example, do you know that how the lady answers the question
"Where do you live?" can lead to a difficult line of questioning and possible denial of the visa.
Understanding why requires some background on Thai culture and The Guide explains this.
Q: What about immigrating to countries other than the U.S.?
A: The Guide is useful also for Thai fiancees who are immigrating to the U.K. and Australia. Many of the
same types of questions are asked of the ladies, and many of the same items are red flags to the personnel
at the embassies of those countries.
Q: Does The Guide provide legal advice regarding visas?
A: No legal advice is given. Only actual questions asked of the ladies and examples of answers that
were accepted.
Q: What format is The Guide?
A: The Guide is delivered by email as a PDF file. You will need the free Acrobat Reader from Adobe to read
The Guide. Go to www.adobe.com/acrobat to download the free reader.
Q: Is The Guide useful in obtaining other types of visas?
A: The Guide is focused on fiances visas. So those people from Thailand applying for tourist visas or
business visas will not benefit from its contents.
Q: What else do I need to complete the fiance visa process?
A: Thoroughly read all of the information from the American embassy in Bangkok (link above left).
Use The Guide to supplement the information the embassy provides since they will give you no clues about
what questions will be asked. With the embassy instructions and The Guide, if you are a confident do-it-yourselfer and
