A question upon the lips of many people who research the K-3 marriage visa is: why do we use a different application form? The K3 visa was initially designed as a way of getting spouses of American citizens to the United States in as fast a manner as possible. Back when the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service was referred to as the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), the classic I-130 application for an IR-1 or CR-1 Immigrant Spouse visa took as long as three years to adjudicate. This situation resulted in a massive backlog of petitions and is likely a reason underlying INS's reshuffle. When filing for a marriage visa, the first phase is filing an I-130 petition. Should the...

A City of Angels Even before I touched down on the Bangkok tarmac in the smooth as silk Thai international flight from Rome, I somehow knew what lay ahead of me- I could half imagine the Siamese as they were once so elegantly known. And now simply Thais; the meaning of freedom, freedom because this country was never colonized. Freedom, because they still hold on to their values, their history, their wonderful artistic language and script and freedom because that they against all odds have managed to keep out those western influences that have so far destroyed a lot of other Asian cultures. Name one country that hasn’t been changed by the west, or indeed the Far East that has already been...

For many US-Thai couples a prenuptial agreement is an effective way of ensuring that all parties understand the entitlements, privileges, obligations, and rights that marriage often entails. The United States Embassy in the Kingdom of Thailand issues many visas to the spouses, fiances, children, and step-children of United States Citizens. As this is the case, one of the tertiary issues regarding American Immigration involves general US family law and prenuptial agreements. Some couples decide to have a prenuptial agreement executed...

The thing I like doing most in Paris, by far, is roaming the crooked romantic streets of its famous Latin Quarter. This may be the most famous neighborhood on the planet. The Latin Quarter got its name from the Latin-speaking students way back when, when the area was dominated by the Sorbonne. The best place to start your exploration of the Latin Quarter might be the huge fountain by Davioud at the head of the boulevard Saint-Michel. This is a great spot to find a place to sit or just to lean and watch all the stylish and chic people pass by. It's also a great meeting place: "Meet me at the fountain!" Then, facing the fountain, begin your wandering east and south into the neighborhood. And if you...

In this largely Buddhist country, you will find a countless number of spirit houses or worship shrines located at every possible place in the city of Bangkok. As you stroll through the busy streets, it is easy to notice in the midst of the vendors and shops, the sudden appearance of a small spirit house. This is a deep reflection of the superstitious Thai culture that not only believes in Buddhism, but has their faith intertwined with that of Hinduism and Animism. Thai people beliefs proceed on to include faith in land gods, ghosts, local spirits and legendary water snakes, and their influence to bring luck and blessings on their daily lives. At many of these different spirit houses, it is common to...

It is believed that the townsfolk of Lambousa, who were tired of the Arab attacks which began in the 7th Century, transferred their houses to the inner slopes of the mountain using the same stones carried from their old houses as building materials to construct Lapta. Settlement developed later, especially during the Lusignian period, with the population of Lapta rising to 10,000. But from the archaeological excavations that took place in the area, it was discovered that Lapta was not the first settlement established in this area. In addition to two Iron Age tomb chambers also being discovered, research shows that copper minning beds also seem to have been used and that settlement occurred there...

Phuket nightlife is one of those things that keeps changing. It is getting better all the time and there has never been such a varied ensemble of night spots to choose from. The nightlife scene in Phuket Town is less Westernized than you would find in places such as Kata, Karon and Patong. What you have in Phuket Town is an exciting live music scene and lots of local bands vying for your attention.

This is how the Thais do it and it's an awful lot of fun. When it comes to music in Phuket Town, the majority of...

Malta Trapani Review Well, it is indeed a very short way to fly, more like a bus ride than a flight, definitely not more than 40 minutes. And the pilot excelled in riding the wind and got us down in time. Arrival just after departure. This review is aimed at all travellers who are on their way to Trapani and to Malta. I suggest that in both cases, you pre-book a Ryan air flight when the offers are incredibly cheap and stay for a weekend in the other place. This means that if you plan to stay for a week in Trapani, you can spend 2 days in Malta, and the other way round. In both cases, it is surely worth every penny you spend as both countries have so much to offer. And with Ryan air flights...

As a corporate executive, business owner and traveling from time to time over the globe I have noticed a disturbing trend that continues unabated in many countries of the world. The Star Rating! Traveling incognito, formally however more than often informally I have been amazed not to experience what was promised in the brochure or on the web-site and often in fact the experience the opposite - mediocrity. This has occurred in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, The Middle East, Europe and the United States. One must ask the question: 'why is this so' to quote the late Julius Sumner Miller. From modest hotels and restaurants to top five star hotels, resorts and establishments I have found that there are...

The one thing that most people don't know about renting a home (in a small town) in South Thailand is that you can find some really great homes to rent at an incredibly low cost. But how do you actually do that? Let's find out... The first thing you need to do is work out exactly what sort of home you want... In other words, have a good idea about what budget you are prepared to pay, whether you want a garden, furniture added, a home in a quiet area, internet on, and so on. Once you're clear about these needs, you can get looking for your new Thai home. Depending on where you locate, expect to pay anywhere from $45 to $300 per month to rent your Thai home.

I applied for my first airline card nearly nine years ago. It was an American Express card that let me earn points on Delta - the airline I was frequenting at the time. I loved (LOVED) that card and, I still have it today. It's allowed me to travel for free on more than one occasion and just last November, I redeemed several thousand points to fly my son and his finance to the U.S. from Bangkok, Thailand for the holidays. OK, I'll admit that booking their travel was not as easy as simply purchasing a ticket but, it saved me nearly $3,000 by the time it was all said and done. Not bad, in my book. Whether you travel for business or just for fun, airline miles cards could be a terrific option that...

The ‘City of Angels' may have had its share of bad luck, but things seem to be progressively moving towards normalcy. In fact, many countries are toning down their level of warning pertaining to travel to Bangkok. After all, the city is one of the hottest travel destinations in the world, not to mention cheap, given the wide plethora of experiences that visitors can indulge in. Here is a small sampling of what Bangkok has to offer. National Museum This is among the largest museums in Thailand and houses an exotic array of artefacts dating back until the Neolithic age. Done up in traditional Thai architectural style, this immense museum is a sight in itself. The grand Teak Pavilion is perhaps the...

The Koh Samui Airport is named as the most beautiful airport of all, mostly by the travelers who have gone all around the world. This airport can be found in the island of the same name in Thailand. The city center is the Chaweng Village and it is a two-kilometre ride from the airport. This airport seems different because it doesn't have any indoors. The only building with a roof around here is a gift shop. The main attraction of the island is of course, the beautiful beaches and all the natural wonders surrounding it. The whole place is a paradise perfect for royalties. To travel around the island, you can rent different kinds of vehicles such as a jeep, a car, or a motorcycle. Taxis are easily...

"> It doesn't matter where in the world you are, exotic holidays, Spain holidays or cheap holidays in Lesvos, there are some sights you will always see. The reasons why we only ever see them on holiday is unknown but they make me smile thinking about them! Here is a short list of some of those unexplained sights. 1) Cockroach on the Balcony It's not always on the balcony but you are sure to come face to face at least once on your holidays abroad. For me the cockroach always springs its attack in the dark, usually when I am on my own and relaxing on the balcony. It doesn't stay around for long and my screams usually send it scattering into a random hole in the wall. 2) An Army of Ants Under the Sun...
