My fiancee is applying to get the tourist visa to America. Can someone tell us if we need anything else or if you think our case is good enough?
She is Thai (26 years old) and I am American (27 years old)
I have been living in Thailand with my fiancee and her family for the past 1-2 years. Last school semester I was teaching english. This school semester I was suppose to continue teaching but am not now because the flooding messed everything up. I plan to continue teaching next semester starting in May but no offical document to prove this.
We are trying to visit my family and friends in America for 2-3 months, (February-April). We will also travel around (We made a 2-3 month trip Itinerary to show)
About me (I will give the following to my fiancee to bring to the interview)
Letter to the consulate, to explain anything and list our cases..
Assets Document with photos in Thailand which equal a little over 200,000 baht
Engagement gold I gave to her which also equals a little over 200,000 baht (Engaged Last April)
Un-offical house rental agreement, 2 year contract, 1 year remains.
Bank Book (20-30,000 baht) I spent 50,000 baht supporting me and my fiancee while our houses were flooded .
Passport
Work Permit
Seven Seas Insurance just renewed as of October, 2011
About my fiancee.
She is an only child.
She is near the end of her master's degree, she only has to write a Thesis
-Student Certificate, Letter to confirm remaining tests and return date (Should we print the transcript?)
Her and her parents own a really nice house and 2 other pieces of land that they rent to people and a farm of coconuts, etc that they maintain personally.
-House Certificate, and Land Deed in here name
-House Certificates, Land Deeds for other houses in parents names (Should we bring these since they are not in her name?)
-Photos of house and farm, not all pieces of land though.
-Tax Documents (Recipts from past 8 years)
Bank Account
-Bank Book (60,000 baht)
My mother will sponsor her (She visited Thailand last April and met my girlfriend and her family)1.I-134 Form
2.Employment Letter
3.Pay Stubs (3-4)
4.Bank Letter
5.Bank Statement
6.Invitation Letter
7.Income Tax Documents (last 3 years)
8.Identification (Birth Certificate)
She never traveled out of the country before.
She has many relatives.
-Family Tree of all Aunts, Uncles and there children from both Mothers and Fathers sides.
-Photos of family
Engagement to me

-----------------------
Our primary reason to return is that she needs to return to finish her masters degree. If she is denied the visa my question would be.. Why would anyone try to immigrate to another country right before they finish there master degree? Why not finish the degree first then try to immigrate to another country?
I just hope they will see our true intentions, as in the future I would like to bring her to visit my family each year around this same time. If we were to not return to thailand or overstay or anything we not suppose to this would cause to much problems for us to travel back and forth to see our families. Also if we intended to get married in America we would of just applied for the fiancee visa, why would someone waste there money trying to get a tourist visa so they can get married in america just to end up on some kind of blacklist with the goverment?
Please reply, I would like to know what others think.
Should we be finding more documents to bring?
