There are certain reasons for not getting a Green Card.
Even bringing a foreign wife back was a problem after the 1950's. Worse with select Asian countries. You would have had a better chance crossing from Mexico illegally under Obama.
As for a girlfriend, there are always avenues but not recommended.
[QUOTE=KabulGuy;2197243]I have an American friend with a Thai wife. He has had trouble getting her a tourist visa up until a couple years of marriage. For some reason they would never issue her one. At one meeting he was advised to get her a Green Card, he was told it would be easier than getting her a tourist visa?[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=NiceGuy99;2197263]Gentlemen. Thank you for all of the replies and advice. Let me respond.[/QUOTE]NG,
Just to add my two cents.
Old friend (ISGer) very god job, career and income wanted to bring his lady to USA for 3 weeks. She has a full time job with a very reputable firm, has an income, had no kids but parents at home. She got her docs together with income proof and letter of employment plus a letter from employer confirming the employment and she had approved leave.
He provided all his documents and a letter saying he would pay for everything incl ticket, stays at his place and with it all was pictures of them together in the Philippines and other parts of Asia and some with his teenage kids in it. Happy family pics.
But the US Embassy refused after a 90 minutes interview saying she did not earn enough income! WTF!
Now another friend tells me that 95% of all pinay applications for tourist visa are refused in the Philippines. Not sure of this but he is a very credible guy and has lived in the county many years with good contacts. Say has to have some family in USA as that helps (but no guarantee).
So go figure. Basically it is tough as hell. And as Trump is now in power and the immigration / visa guys (well some) are likely more emboldened to be more racist or whatever we call etc then who knows!
Another fact. Friend of mine has been waiting for about 8 months and counting for his pinay's fiancée visa. He says this is amazingly long and puts down to Trump policies. I suppose the American fuglies there who support Trump don't want pretty pinays spoiling the 'gene pool' in USA LOL.

Thanks again guys for you inputs. Does anyone know of a case where a USA tourist visa was approved based, in part, on financial responsibility from the guy she was visiting?[/QUOTE]I do know that my friend with the Thai wife had offered and was basically laughed at when he suggested that he post a bond for his wife to get a tourist visa.
Look at it from ICE's view point. If the guy has the money he can keep here in the US and support her no problem if he decides he wants her to stay.
[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2197268]So you think they will give her a visa based on them being pen pals? Why doesn't he just go visit her? Way easier.[/QUOTE]For you and me, yes. But not for all. I know 3 is a small number, but over the years 3 different women have told me of stories of older foreign gents, who could not travel (health reasons), sending large quantities of money monthly to the girl herself or to her daughters. Also the gent attempted to get the pinay to visit him. The gents made clear up front that they would never visit phils. When the gents passed away they had their estate executor wire a ton of money to their honey (or her daughter). If I am aware of several of these situations, its probably happening with some regularity and more often.
[QUOTE=NiceGuy99;2197263]Thanks again guys for you inputs. Does anyone know of a case where a USA tourist visa was approved based, in part, on financial responsibility from the guy she was visiting?[/QUOTE]Not quite the same category but we've had the Filipino in-laws over in the US. We were on green cards at the time but they still ended up with multi entry, 10 year B1/2 visas. Entirely dependent on our finances as they were pretty poor. They also had a history of travelling to other countries and returning on schedule in their favour.
We were going to bring a nephew over but despite having a good job, the general feeling was that he was more likely to be denied due to age (mid 20's).
[QUOTE=NiceGuy99;2197263]Does anyone know of a case where a USA tourist visa was approved based, in part, on financial responsibility from the guy she was visiting?[/QUOTE]The chance is low because it would invite more questions.
The long and hard earned reputation of Filipinos not honouring visa requirements, viz, leaving the country eg USA, whatever country, at appointed visa expiry time, has hardened authorities towards Flips.
Its called "shoot in the foot" , in these and many other matters. Well earned filipino reputation, and programmed at birth.
A guy I knew, thought he would get around this, by marrying the Filipina in the Philippines. Still no visa. He in his country, Filipino wife in Philippines. Never the twain shall meet.
ST, ST, when its all about ST, all is well. LT? Problems, problems.
Thank you so much gentlemen. I have conveyed all of your posts, anonymous of course, to my friend without revealing the source.
It looks pretty hopeless. Unless someone has a brilliant plan for success this topic is likely exhausted.
Thanks again!

It can be done. Just keep gathering info before trying. A denial is expensive as well as red flag. You / she might be able to find someone on the ground in Manila to help. The most important thing is to tell the lady not to lie. Keep calm and truthful. Very hard for any person.

ST, ST, when its all about ST, all is well. LT? Problems, problems.[/QUOTE]Saudi Arabia has approximately 14,000 Filipino OFWs who absconded and overstayed their visas. Many resort to selling ass and pussy to earn money. Approximately, 190,000 Flips are in the USA illegally. Filipinas dominate the "Asian porn" industry in the US, with fresh Filipina arrivals making appearances in an ever-growing catalogue of interracial gangbangs. They do not stop fucking after arriving in other countries. In fact, they fuck even more once in an environment filled with unlimited young cocks itching to taste Asian puss, which is in great demand and prized in the US. Even an unattractive young Filipina can write her ticket to wealth with her pussy, and many unload their older, homely, or obese sponsors to head for greener pastures.
In the USA, there are about 2 million Flips, 44% live in California. A horny monger has a much better chance of finding one to fuck him than he does of importing one on a tourist visa. Many Filipinas from wealthy families study at American universities on student visas, a single monger earning over $150,000 per year should have no problem finding one amenable to a beneficial arrangement. Once they arrive in Kano Land, Flip pussy prices skyrocket like Bitcoin going from $0. 06 in 2010 to $20,000 in 2017. Some mongers make the mistake of importing a Filipina thinking she will continue to fuck for peanuts.
I would just add that my now pinay wife was able to secure a 1 yr US tourist visa and then was able to secure a 10 year tourist visa while we were first "dating". Now she was an OCW working in Montreal and had also worked in Hong Kong when all this happened so that may have a lot to do with getting approved but I basically just wrote a simple letter each time and things went smoothly.
Been married 13 years now and my wife finally decided to apply for citizenship and has been waiting 18 months now. Green card is expired but due to the timeframe of her application for citizenship she has a stamp in her passport from ICE that makes her legal and she can still work and drive. Only thing she can't do is exit the USA until her citizenship goes thru.
According to the data from The Washington Post, in 2012, there were approximately 8.9 million illegal immigrants from North America; meaning Mexico and Central America. I can only assume the actual numbers in 2016 were higher due to the Obama administration's strategy to neuter Mexican border controls. 2.8 million are in California. Some actually vote because of relaxed vetting.
The illegal immigrants who entered the US legally from Africa is probably quite high too. The person that brought Ebola to Dallas had quit everything in his African home before bringing Ebola to Dallas, on what I assume is a tourist visa.
The US Chinese population would be much higher if it were not for the 100 year Chinese Exclusion Act which let anyone in the world enter the US and stay legally, except the Chinese. That is gaining traction again.
The illegal immigrants numbers from North America are also a little low. Daka and those that took advantage of the several amnesty programs over the half century were taken off. The US is fast approaching a 50% Hispanic population. And maybe bring some of the problems that plague their former home countries to the US.

You can guess how they were making a living. Some voluntary overstayed, some were abandoned when their employer did a runner. I'd assume that Bagram and Letherneck / Bastion, the other big ISAF bases, had a similar issue.
When I left there the rumour was that there would be a general amnesty with a free military flight out with assistance getting onward transport home from wherever the military flight took them. Not sure how that worked out but sooner or later someone was going to have to fly them out of there and help them get home.
