My Thai bf of ...6 years keeps suggesting for me to take him to the States (he's a young looking 42 year old, I am 51yr). We have traveled to China, Bali, Indonesia, Singapore where it is not an issue for him to into the country but the States is another issue. I know they are strict about who they allow in and not in based on ones education, carreer, and bank account. This is the problem. My bf doesn't have that much in his bank account and he does have a small shop (he's a tailor) but he is basically a poor fellow from Isaan. Has anyone had luck getting a visa for their Thai "friend"???
