In recent weeks, certain sectors of the internet as well as the administration of this blog have been attempting to predict the trajectory of the issues surrounding both cryptocurrency regulation (and the exchanges associated therewith) as well as the more specific issue of regulatory oversight with respect to Initial Coin Offerings or ICOs in Thailand. As of the time of this writing, specific provisions of either an enacted or proposed regulatory framework remain to be seen. However, according to a recent article in the Bangkok Post entitled SET Drafts Advice for ICO Investment some regulatory agencies are issuing guidelines for the public regarding Initial Coin Offerings as well as cryptocurrency generally. To quote directly from the aforementioned article:
The Stock Exchange of Thailand is preparing guidelines for investment in initial coin offerings so that investors can evaluate ICOs and assess risk and return…ICO transactions are similar to crowdfunding, whereby the issuer presents a business model to investors, but the key differences are that the raised funds are in the form of digital currencies using blockchain technology and the deals are enforced using smart contracts.
In the past there were apparently discussions among Thai officials with regard to the regulation of digital currency as well as the mechanism of promulgating such instruments through usage of ICO mechanisms. At present, relevant regulators have yet to produce a framework under which creation of new digital currency will be regulated in Thailand. Furthermore, the creation of so-called “smart contracts” have yet to be substantively addressed in either a regulatory context or through any type of judicial opinion. In short: the technology is quite cutting edge and, as in most cases regarding the law and technology, the legal system and regulators are playing a sort of game akin to “catch up”. To Thai regulators’ credit: this issue is one that has only come to the foreground quite recently and it involves technology and practices that relatively few are well versed in dealing with. Therefore, some amount of delay is not unreasonable. In fact, it may be necessary in order to ultimately promulgate a lasting regulatory framework.
As of the time of this writing some developments have occurred with respect to digital currency and the exchanges associated therewith. Most notably, the Bank of Thailand recently requested that certain banks refrain from facilitating banking functions associated with digital currency exchange. In connection with this news there has been speculation that any future regulations will contain requirements such as “Know Your Customer” rules requiring exchanges to be fully apprised of their customer’s identity’s (and perhaps business endeavors?) although a detailed copy of any regulations remain to be seen. As matters pertaining to digital currency continue to remain opaque from a legal standpoint in Thailand, the administration of this blog will continue to provide updates on the matter as and when necessary in an effort to provide up to date information regarding what has proven to be both a dynamic and legally nettlesome issue.

What is the New National Vetting Center?
Posted by : admin
It has recently been announced that the Trump administration is creating a new “National Vetting Center”. The following article is intended to shed light on what this institution is designed to do and how it will fit into the overall immigration process.
It should first be noted that the National Vetting Center should not be confused with the preexisting National Visa Center which acts as a sort of clearing house and central repository for documentation pertaining to visa applications through the Department of State. The National Visa Center’s function is to gather relevant documentation and forward cases to the appropriate US Embassy or US Consulate for visa interview scheduling.
The National Vetting Center would seem to have a different mandate, although not altogether different as both institutions deal with matters pertaining to US Immigration. In an effort to provide further insight it is necessary to cite a recent article from the website of USA Today:
The National Vetting Center will be run by the Department of Homeland Security with assistance from the intelligence community and the departments of State, Justice and Defense. Its mission: To “collect, store, share, disseminate, and use” a broad range of information about people who seek to enter the United States, with a goal of identifying people who may be a threat to national security or public safety. “This is yet another step towards knowing who is coming to the United States — that they are who they say they are and that they do not pose a threat to our nation,” said Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen in a statement.
Although disregarded by some at the time as overreacting, this blogger has noted in prior discussion of so-called extreme vetting policy that although it was initially discussed in a very narrow geographical and situational context the establishment of the National Vetting Center and the presumption that all future US Immigration processing will involve said institution shows that this policy will have broad ramifications for all visa applicants.
What does this mean for the timing of US visa applications? At this time it is too soon to say whether the addition of National Vetting Center protocols will result in slower processing times. However, it stands to reason that adding an entirely new institutional bureaucracy to the overall immigration framework will result in at least some delays in the processing of petitions and applications.
As has been discussed previously on this blog and through some of our firm’s videos: the Trump administration’s policies with respect to Immigration could have wide ranging and long lasting ramifications for those seeking visas in the future. Furthermore, if a deal can be reached with respect to Comprehensive Immigration Reform it looks as though the era of so-called “chain migration” (allowing extended family of Lawful Permanent Residents and American citizens to seek visa benefits) and the visa lottery will likely come to an end.

ដូចដែលយើងបានលើកឡើងខាងលើ យើងស្ថិតនៅក្នុងទីក្រុងបាងកក ។ យើងបានរត់ការសំណុំរឿងរបស់ប្រជាពលរដ្ឋថៃជាច្រើន ហើយដោយសារតែយើងក៏ស្ថិតនៅជិតប្រទេសកម្ពុជា ដែរនោះ ជាច្រើនឆ្នាំកន្លងមកនេះយើងក៏បានរត់ការអោយសំណុំរឿងជាច្រើនរបស់ប្រជាពលរដ្ឋខ្មែរ ឬសំណុំរឿងផ្សេងៗទៀតដែលមានពាក់ព័ន្ធនឹងជនជាតិខ្មែរ ។ ដូច្នេះយើងចង់បញ្ជាក់ថា ទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទ K-3 នេះជាទិដ្ឋាការមួយដ៏គួរអោយចាប់អារម្មណ៍ ។
យើងសូមពន្យល់រៀបរាប់បន្តិចថាតើអ្វីជាទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទ K-3 ។ ទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទ K-3 ត្រូវបានបង្កើតឡើងដោយយោងតាមប្រការមួយចំនួននៅក្នុងច្បាប់អាយុជីវិត ដែលត្រូវបានបង្កើតឡើងនៅក្នុងអណត្តិរបស់ប្រធានាធិបតី Clinton នៅពេលដែលមានសំណុំរឿងជាច្រើនដែលបានកកស្ទះ ពាក់ព័ន្ធនឹងប្រភេទទិដ្ឋាការប្ដីប្រពន្ធ គឺ CR-1 និង IR-1 ហើយនៅក្នុងទំព័ររបស់យើងនេះ ក៏មានវីដេអូមួយទៀតដែរ ដែលនិយាយផ្ដោតជាពិសេសទៅលើប្រភេទទិដ្ឋាការ CR-1 និង IR-1 នេះនៅក្នុងប្រទេសកម្ពុជា ។ នៅពេលនោះ ជាធម្មតាវាទាមទាររយៈពេលជាច្រើនឆ្នាំដើម្បីបញ្ចប់សំណុំរឿងមួយ ។ ក្រសួងមាតុភូមិ ធ្វើការសំរេចលើពាក្យធានាសំរាប់ទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទរៀបអាពាហ៍ពិពាហ៍ ។ ក្នុងពេលជាមួយគ្នានោះដែរ វាទាមទារពេលប្រហែល ៦, ៧ ឬ៨ខែ ដើម្បីទទួលបានការសំរេចយល់ព្រមលើសំណុំបែបបទធានាសុំទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទគូដណ្ដឹង ។ ដូច្នេះជាចុងក្រោយ អ្វីដែលគេជួបច្រើន គឺស្ថានភាពដែលសំណុំរឿងគូដណ្ដឹងត្រូវបានដំណើរការលឿនជាងប្ដីប្រពន្ធ ហើយយើងសូមបញ្ជាក់ផងដែរថាតាមផ្លូវច្បាប់ ជាពិសេសច្បាប់អន្តោប្រវេសន៍ មិនមានភាពខុសគ្នានោះទេរវាងប្ដីប្រពន្ធ និងគូដណ្ដឹង ដោយតាមផ្លូវច្បាប់សំណុំរឿងទាំងពីរនេះត្រូវបានចាត់ទុកថាដូចគ្នា ។ បើគិតតាមផ្លូវរដ្ឋបាលវិញ មានការកកស្ទះសំណុំរឿងទិដ្ឋាការ ឬសំណុំពាក្យធានាប្រភេទរៀបអាពាហ៍ពិពាហ៍ជាច្រើន ។ ខ្ញុំមិនដឹងថាវាមកពីហេតុអ្វីដែរនោះទេ ប្រហែលជាអាចបណ្ដាលមកពីពួកគេដំណើរការទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទ K-1បានយ៉ាងមានប្រសិទ្ធិភាពជាង ឬមកពីមានសំណុំរឿងទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទ K-1មានចំនួនតិច ប៉ុន្តែនៅពេលនោះវាទាមទារពេលជាច្រើនឆ្នាំដើម្បីទទួលបានការដំណើរការពាក្យសុំធានាសំរាប់ការរៀបការជាមួយពលរដ្ឋអាមេរិក ដោយក្នុងខណៈពេលជាមួយគ្នានោះ វាទាមទារពេលត្រឹមតែប៉ុន្មានខែប៉ុណ្ណោះសំរាប់សំណុំរឿងគូដណ្ដឹង ។ ដូច្នេះហើយ ទើបពួកគេបានបង្កើតទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទ K-3 ដោយនិយាយថា «ប្រសិនបើអ្នកបានដាក់ពាក្យធានាប្ដីឬប្រពន្ធរបស់អ្នកតាមប្រភេទទិដ្ឋាការ CR-1 ឬ IR-1ជាធម្មតាហើយ អ្នកអាចដាក់ពាក្យមួយទៀត ដោយសុំទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទ K-3 វិញ» ។ អ្នកគ្រាន់តែដាក់ពាក្យម្តងទៀតតាមទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទ K ។ នោះហើយគឺជាអ្វីដែលពួកគេបានធ្វើ ។ ពួកគេគ្រាន់តែទាញយកសំណុំរឿងទិដ្ឋាការរៀបការទាំងនេះហើយនិយាយថា អូខេ សំណុំរឿងនេះត្រូវបានដាក់ពាក្យហើយ អ្នកត្រូវបញ្ជាក់ថាពាក្យធានារបស់អ្នកត្រូវបានដាក់តាមដំណើរការដូចដែលគេធ្វើសំរាប់គូដណ្ដឹង ។ ជាលទ្ធផល K-3 គឺជាពាក្យដែលត្រូវបានគេប្រើសំរាប់ទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទរៀបការជាមួយពលរដ្ឋអាមេរិក ប៉ុន្តែតាមពិត វិធីតាមទំលាប់ដែលគេត្រូវធ្វើដើម្បីនាំអ្នកណាម្នាក់មកកាន់សហរដ្ឋអាមេរិកគឺតាមរយៈទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទ CR-1 ឬ IR-1 ។ ទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទ K-3 ត្រូវបានគេប្រើជាទូទៅនៅក្នុងសំណុំរឿងនេះ ពីព្រោះមនុស្សទូទៅស៊ាំនឹងការរត់ការប្រភេទ K-3 ដោយសារតែវាគឺជាវិធីដ៏មានប្រសិទ្ធភាពក្នុងការនាំយកប្ដីឬប្រពន្ធមកកាន់សហរដ្ឋអាមេរិក ។ វាជារឿងមួយដ៏គួរអោយចាប់អារម្មណ៍ដែរ ដោយសារតែ ទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទ K-3 នៅតែតំរូវអោយមានការផ្លាស់ប្តូរស្ថានភាពអន្តោប្រវេសន៍របស់អ្នកទៅជាអ្នករស់នៅជាអចិន្ត្រៃយ៍ដោយស្របច្បាប់ ។ សំរាប់អ្នកដែលចង់ដឹងអំពីដំណើរការក្នុងការផ្លាស់ប្ដូរស្ថានភាពអន្តោប្រវេសន៍ សូមចូលទៅមើលវីដេអូនៅក្នុងទំព័រនេះផងដែរដែលពិភាក្សាជាពិសេសអំពីដំណើរការនៃការផ្លាស់ប្ដូរនេះ ប៉ុន្តែអ្វីដែលយើងនឹងពិភាក្សានៅថ្ងៃនេះគឺ ទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទ K-3 ។ ទោះបីជាទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទនេះអាចនឹងមានប្រយោជន៍នៅក្នុងលក្ខខណ្ឌសព្វថ្ងៃនេះ ក៏ប៉ុន្តែកាលពីមុនគឺមានបទបញ្ជារដ្ឋបាល ដែលជាគោលនយោបាយបិទតាមបែបរដ្ឋបាល ដែលត្រូវបានអនុវត្តដោយមជ្ឈមណ្ឌលទិដ្ឋាការជាតិ ដែលជាធម្មតានិយាយថា «ឥឡូវមើល ទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទ K-3 ត្រូវបានបង្កើតឡើងសំរាប់ស្ថានភាពដែលទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទរៀបការឬទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទអន្តោប្រវេសន៍ ត្រូវបានបាត់នៅក្នុងគំនរឯកសារកកស្ទះរបស់ស្ថាប័ន USCIS ។ តាមពិតទៅ វាមិនមែនបាត់នោះទេ ប៉ុន្តែគឺវាជាប់ នៅក្នុងគំនរឯកសារកកស្ទះរបស់ស្ថាប័ន USCIS ។ ដូច្នេះហើយ ប្រសិនបើយើងទទួលបានពាក្យធានាសំរាប់ទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទ K-3 មុន យើងនឹងដំណើរការទិដ្ឋាការនេះមុន ប៉ុន្តែប្រសិនបើយើងទទួលបានពាក្យធានាសំរាប់ទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទអន្តោប្រវេសន៍សំរាប់ប្តីប្រពន្ធមុន យើងនឹងដំណើរការទិដ្ឋាការនេះមុន ហើយយើងនឹងទុកពាក្យសុំទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទ K-3ជាមោឃៈ» ។ នេះជារឿងដ៏សំខាន់ ពីព្រោះតួនាទីរបស់មជ្ឈមណ្ឌលទិដ្ឋាការជាតិក្នុងដំណើរការទិដ្ឋាការអន្តោប្រវេសន៍ មានលក្ខណៈខុសពីទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទ K ។ សំរាប់ទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទ K មជ្ឈមណ្ឌលទិដ្ឋាការជាតិ គ្រាន់តែផ្ញើឯកសារសំណុំរឿងនោះទៅកាន់ស្ថានទូតដែលពាក់ព័ន្ធ ហើយស្ថានទូតនឹងដំណើរការសំណុំរឿងនោះតាមដំណើរការរបស់ស្ថានកុងស៊ុល ។ ចំណែកឯក្នុងសំណុំរឿងទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទអន្តោប្រវេសន៍វិញ ដំណើរការរបស់មជ្ឈមណ្ឌលទិដ្ឋាការជាតិមានសភាពយឺតយ៉ាវ ព្រោះមជ្ឈមណ្ឌលទិដ្ឋាការជាតិត្រូវធ្វើការទទួលយកឯកសារនិងបញ្ចូលពត៌មាន ហើយខ្ញុំមិននិយាយថាមជ្ឈមណ្ឌលនេះធ្វើការសំរេចចេញទិដ្ឋាការនោះទេ ប៉ុន្តែពួកគេធ្វើការត្រួតពិនិត្យដោយល្អិតល្អន់ ដើម្បីធានាអោយប្រាកដថា ពួកគេមានពត៌មានគ្រប់គ្រាន់ដើម្បីបន្តដំណើរការ និងដាក់ថ្ងៃណាត់សំភាស ។ ដូច្នេះប្រសិនបើអ្នកអាចដាក់ពាក្យសុំទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទ K-3 ហើយត្រូវបានគេសំរេចយល់ព្រមលើពាក្យសុំ នោះទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទ K-3 នេះនៅតែដំណើរការលឿនជាងទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទអន្តោប្រវេសន៍ ។ ទោះបីជាយ៉ាងណាក៏ដោយ ខ្ញុំនៅតែយល់ថា មជ្ឈមណ្ឌលទិដ្ឋាការជាតិនៅតែរក្សាគោលនយោបាយបិទតាមបែបរដ្ឋបាល ដែលពួកគេត្រូវដំណើរការសំណុំរឿងអន្តោប្រវេសន៍មុន ។ ឥឡូវនេះ ការដំណើរការសំណុំរឿងអន្តោប្រវេសន៍ជាពិសេសគឺសំណុំរឿងប្ដីឬប្រពន្ធរបស់ពលរដ្ឋអាមេរិក ត្រូវបានកាត់បន្ថយយ៉ាងច្រើន ។ ស្ថាប័ន USCIS បានចាត់វិធានការសំខាន់ៗជាច្រើនដើម្បីធ្វើអោយនិតិវិធីរបស់ពួកគេកាន់តែមានប្រសិទ្ធិភាព ហើយពួកគេបានធ្វើវាអោយកាន់តែមានប្រសិទ្ធិភាពឡើង ។ ខ្ញុំគិតថាពួកគេមានបុគ្គលិកច្រើនជាងមុន ហើយក៏មានរឿងច្រើនដែរដែលត្រូវដោះស្រាយពាក់ព័ន្ធនឹងសំណុំរឿងទាំងនោះ ហើយពួកគេក៏មានធនធានជាច្រើនដែរដើម្បីអោយសំណុំរឿងទាំងអស់នោះបានដំណើរការទៅមុខ ដែលជាលទ្ធផល គឺខ្ញុំមិននិយាយថាទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទ K-3 ផុតសម័យលែងត្រូវបានគេប្រើប្រាស់នោះទេ ប៉ុន្តែគឺវាលែងសូវចាំបាច់ក្នុងការប្រើប្រាស់ដូចកាលពីពេលដែលវាត្រូវបានបង្កើតពីដំបូងនោះទេ ។ ដោយសារមូលហេតុនេះហើយ ទើបខ្ញុំគិតថាអ្នកអាចនឹងឃើញសំណុំរឿងទិដ្ឋាការប្រភេទK-3 កាន់តែតិចទៅៗដែលនឹងត្រូវដំណើរការនៅក្នុងប្រទេសកម្ពុជា ឬប្រទេសផ្សេងៗទៀត ។

សួស្ដី! ខ្ញុំឈ្មោះ Benjamin Hart ។ ខ្ញុំគឺជាមេធាវី និងជានាយកគ្រប់គ្រងនៃក្រុមហ៊ុនIntegrity Legal នៅក្នុងទីក្រុងបាងកកនៃប្រទេសថៃ ។

Information regarding K-1 Visa Applications From Vietnam
Posted by : admin
The following is a transcript of the video which can be found here: K-1 Visas from Vietnam
In this video we are going to be discussing K-1 Visas specifically in the context of cases that will be processed presumably through the US Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City primarily.
As can be heard from the preamble to this video, I’m an American attorney but we’re located here in Bangkok. Primarily we do the vast majority of our cases do involve Thai nationals though we do deal with cases regionally and I sort of thought about it the other day and I said that you know, I really don’t do enough videos talking about some of the other posts and other nationalities we deal with in the immigration context within the immigration practice here. So I went ahead and decided to do this video.
The way to look at the K-1 process specifically and the K-1 fiancée process is slightly different than dealing with other family based petitions. First of all, you have to be intending to marry an American citizen unlike marriage visas where you can be married to a lawful permanent resident and process a case that way for one of the preference categories. K-1 Visas are only between a foreign national and an American citizen. Both parties have to be legally free to marry, that’s rather important. This can come up and cause some confusion, and cause some problems in a lot cases because folks think “oh, we filed and now we can marry”. “No, you have to remain fiancées throughout the whole process!” You have to be legally free to marry up until the fiancée, the Vietnamese fiancée comes to the United States at which point it is then possible to go ahead and get married in the United States and file for adjustment of status to lawful permanent residence. In another video on this channel I discuss specifically adjustment of status. Adjustment of status is the process by which an individual comes to the United States, in this case in K-1 status, gets married and goes ahead and lawful permanent residence attached, aka Green Card Status. Another thing to keep in mind with respect to the K-1 specifically, the couple in question needs to have met physically in person within 2 years of the filing of the petition for the visa benefits. There are exceptions to this rule but they are very, very narrow in scope and for that reason it’s best to effectively just go ahead and say “look, I have to meet in person. That usually means they are going to have to travel at least once to, in the case of a Vietnamese fiancée, presumably Vietnam and meet physically in person, the Vietnamese fiancée before filing can be perfected or at least before an acceptable filing can be perfected.
Some things to think about as far as how it works. Well the case starts off over at the Department of Homeland Security, specifically USCIS, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. They go ahead and process the petition. If the petition is approved, the case moves to the National Visa Center which is under the auspices of the Department of State. The National Visa Center, they act as a sort of clearing house or sort of administrative hub for sending these cases out, making sure it gets from the approval at DHS and gets to the appropriate embassy or consulate. In the vast majority of cases involving Vietnam you’re not going to be dealing with the post in Hanoi, in the vast majority of cases at least that we deal with, you’re dealing with the consulate in Ho Chi Minh City. It is a higher volume post, so processing can take a little bit longer. In Vietnam, as far as Consular processing goes, it can take a little bit longer when compared to other posts in the region, Bangkok included, but Bangkok is a pretty high volume post as well. Some of the other smaller posts, Cambodia, Laos definitely, even Yangon, don’t quite have the volume so things may move a little bit more quickly. But that being said, it’s just the process you have to deal with and every case is sort of being unique and you have to deal with the circumstances as you take them. So that being said, it will go to the Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City and at that point the case, the Vietnamese fiancée will be informed of the protocols that he or she needs to undertake to go ahead and complete the consular processing portion. In the cases where we have been retained to assist in these matters, we often assist with translations, compilation of documentation, filling out of various forms, both online and physical forms cases and in a lot of cases going ahead and submitting the request for the actual visa application interview. And then on top of that we go ahead and assist in preparing certain questions or I really hate to say we provide the questions that they are going to ask, we don’t; we provide an overview with respect to how, what is the process looking for? What kind of due diligence is the Consular Officer likely to be interested in conducting? In most cases it’s ascertaining that the couple is a genuine couple, they are legally free to marry, they’ve remained legally free to marry, they adhere to the law, they adhere to the Immigration policy, they don’t have any legal grounds of inadmissibility and all the documentation relevant to the case that that officer feels is pertinent is present and accounted for with respect to the underlying application. That’s basically what they’re looking to do. It’s not an exercise in “stump the applicant”, it’s an exercise in due diligence. They want to make certain that the couple is bona fide. So for that reason, that is sort of a general overview of what the interview process is like. If the officer requests further documentation, they can issue what is called a 221-G request for further documentation.
In some cases they may feel that the case is denied for various reasons. They have to give a legal reason why they are denying the case. In most cases that I have dealt when you get a denial, you are looking at a legal ground of inadmissibility, and a legal ground of inadmissibility is defined in the Immigration Nationality Act and in some cases it’s often possible to overcome that legal ground of inadmissibility through use of an I-601 waiver. There are various videos on this channel with respect to the I-601 specifically but to sort of just sum up K-1 visa processing through Vietnam, you’re looking at a matter of months; I think you are looking at probably 8 or 9 months with respect to the overall “door to door” process with respect to processing a successful K-1 visa, on average. There are outliers on both sides. Every case is unique; it’s like a snow flake. But that being said, that’s kind of a general overview with respect to timeline, the thing to keep in mind, just sort of in sum. It’s a 3 part process. It effectively begins in the US, goes through various offices in the US, finally to wind up, generally speaking, at the US Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City where the matter will be adjudicated by the Consular Officer at the Immigrant Visa Unit. Again, K-1s are interesting because they’re a non-immigrant visa that has dual intent. You are actually a non-immigrant visa but to all intents and purposes, the consular section treats it as if it were an immigrant visa and you go ahead and undertake the interview and hopefully, presuming a successful interview, a visa will be issued shortly after the interview date.

Information Regarding American Marriage Visas From Cambodia
Posted by : admin
The following is a transcript of a video which can be found here: US Marriage Visa Cambodia
In this video today, we are going to be discussing marriage visas in the specific context of the US Embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
As you can see from the aforementioned preamble to this video, we are based here in Bangkok. I am an American attorney but the firm is based here in Bangkok. The bulk of our work in US immigration matters does revolve around Bangkok and the Consular section of the US Embassy here primarily our cases that are going to end up at the US Consular Section here. That being said, we do take other cases in the region, I do deal with a fair number of these rather frequently. Cambodia is one I deal with probably more often than any other country in the region if I ‘m being very specific. It kind of depends on the year, I guess. But that being said, the K-1, we discussed specifically in another video, that’s a fiancée visa. In this video, we are discussing US marriage visas specifically. So for now, I’m talking about the CR-1, IR-1 or the K-3 visa. There’s another video on this channel which goes specifically into the K-3 visa and I am going to sort of leave it to that video to discuss that directly if there’s specific things to think about with respect to the K-3. But suffice it to say, the CR-1 and the IR-1, CR-1 is Conditional Resident category, IR-1 is Immediate Relative and the person that enters on an IR-1 enters in unconditional lawful permanent residence as opposed to conditional lawful permanent residence to the United States. Generally speaking, I am talking about foreign nationals married, and I am specifically talking about Khmer, Cambodian Nationals married to an American citizen. Although some of this analysis could apply to a lawful permanent resident in the United States trying to bring their Cambodian spouse over as well but I’m going to try to keep it more on point with respect to an American citizen, seeking to bring a Cambodian female or male spouse to the United States.
So the thing to think about with respect to Cambodian nationals applying for marriage visa benefits to the US, it’s kind of a 3 part process in so far as you have to initially deal with the Department of Homeland Security and their United States Citizenship and Immigration Service apparatus. Then you have got to go ahead and deal with the National Visa Center which in the context of Immigrant Spousal Visas, the National Visa Center is a very different animal than when you compare it to the K categories, the K-1 and the K-3. In the K-1 and the K-3 cases, in those cases where the K-3 gets processed through, in a way NVC just acts as a sort of clearing house or sort of a postal hub, if you will, to make certain that the case gets from USCIS over to the correct embassy abroad. With respect to US Immigrant visas the NVC’s job is much more broad in scope, and depth for that matter. They do a lot of document collection, they will do follow ups if they feel there’s a document deficiency or they feel that more information is necessary. In another video on this channel we discussed the so called extreme vetting protocols of the Trump Administration right now. I don’t know, specifically I haven’t seen anything with extreme vetting happen yet at NVC but I can see theoretically, sometime in the future, extreme vetting protocols may pertain directly to NVC at some point as well. But that being said, they have a much more active role in the immigrant visa cases. Once they are satisfied documentarily at National Visa Center, they will then go ahead and process the case out over to the embassy in Phnom Penh and an interview date will be set at the embassy. At the interview, things can happen like what are called the 221-G request for further documentation where basically the interviewing officer determines that they would like to see something more with respect to the case. Generally speaking, after an NVC vetting, this isn’t very frequent, but it does happen. I shouldn’t say that it’s infrequent. In K-1s, it can happen quite frequently because the circumstances are different. Marriage visas, the cases tend to be more clear-cut, I guess is the right way to look at it. But that being said, basically the point I want to get across is, NVC will set that interview appointment, it will get over to the embassy in Phnom Penh and you have got to get in for an interview. We oftentimes do an interview prep with our clients so that they have an understanding, generally speaking, what the officer is probably going to want to know regarding the application or regarding the specifics of the person making the application and the other thing is we provide some insight with respect to the protocols for how the case is going to be taken in and dealt with at the post.
So to sort of sum up, I think the way to look at the overall process of applying for a US immigrant is this: it starts in the United States with the Department of Homeland Security, it moves over to the NVC which unlike the K categories, the NVC has a very active role in this process and then finally, it’s going to end up at the US Embassy at Phnom Penh and at that point the interview is going to take place and it’s possible more documentation could be requested and you may have to deal with a follow on submission before hopefully, the visa is ultimately approved.

K-3 Marriage Visas From Cambodia
Posted by : admin
The following is a transcript of the video which can be found here: K-3 Visas from Cambodia.
In this video today, we are going to specifically discuss one visa that is sort of an interesting little niche visa, the K-3 visa, in the specific context of a Khmer, Cambodian national who would be seeking that in connection with marriage to a US citizen. Let’s be clear, you have got to be married to a US citizen in order to apply for a K-3.
First things first. As previously noted in my preamble, we’re located here in Bangkok. We do deal with a large number of Thai cases but being fairly geographically close to Cambodia, over the years we’ve done a fair number of Cambodian cases or cases that arise with a Cambodian national, a Khmer national involved. That being stated, it should be noted that the K-3 is an interesting animal.
To provide a little background on what the K-3 visa is. The K-3 visa was created pursuant to the provisions of the LIFE act created under the Clinton presidency and it was created at a time when the back log associated with spousal visas, CR-1 and IR-1, and there’s another video on this channel specific to CR-1 and IR-1 visas, in Cambodia. Basically, at the time, it was taking multiple years to get finalized Department of Homeland secure the approval of the petition for marriage visas. Meanwhile, at the same time it was like 6 or 7 months, 8 months to get a fiancée visa petition approved. So you ended up with the sort of counter intuitive situation where fiancées were moving through the system more quickly than spouses and it should be noted that from a legal perspective there is no qualitative difference as far as the law is concerned, specifically Immigration law is concerned, with respect to a fiancée versus a spouse; from a legal standpoint they’re treated the same way. From an administrative standpoint, they just had a high back log of marriage visas or marriage petitions, for whatever reason, were they were processing K-1s more efficiently or they just had a lower case load, I don’t know what the deal was, but at the time it was taking multiple years to get a petition for marriage to an American citizen process through and meanwhile it was taking a matter of months for fiancées. So what happened is they created this K-3 category and the K-3 category was created, basically they said “look if you have got a petition on file for a spousal visa benefits in the normal manner, the CR-1 or IR-1 category basically, you can take that filing and do a duplicative version of that and go ahead and file for this K-3 category. You just go ahead and file it again through the K line. That’s basically what they did. They just took these marriage visa cases and said – Okay, it’s been filed, you have got to prove it’s filed and you put it in the line that was processing for fiancées so what ended up happening is K-3 has kind of become the ubiquitous term for a US marriage visa but in point of fact, the traditional methodology of bringing someone into the United States is through a CR-1 or IR-1 visa. The K-3 just sort of became rather common place in the lexicon of these matters because people got used to dealing with K-3s because that was effectively the way to get your spouse into the United States. It’s interesting because K-3 still requires adjustment of status to lawful permanent residence. Those of you who are interested in learning about that, in order to get a green card you have to undergo the adjustment of status process and I urge you to take a look at the video that specifically discusses the adjustment of status process on this channel, but something to bring up with respect to K-3s in the present context. Although they may be useful under present processing conditions, in the past there was an administrative ruling, it was a policy of administrative closure that was undertaken by the National Visa Center whereby they basically said – “Look, the K-3 was created for these situations where basically a marriage visa, an immigrant visa case got lost in the back log of USCIS. Not lost but stuck in the back log of USCIS. So if we got the K-3 position first we will process through on the K-3. But if we get the petition for the Immigrant Spouse Visa first, we’re going to process the Immigrant Spouse Visa benefits. We’re going to disregard the K-3”. This is important because NVC’s function is qualitatively different in an immigrant visa context that it is in a K Visa context. The K Visa context, NVC just shoots the case on to the embassy in question and the embassy sort of deals with all the nuts and bolts of the consular processing. In an immigrant visa context, the NVC process is slower because NVC deals with the nuts and bolts of document intake and in a way, I won’t say, adjudication but sort of pre vetting to make sure that they have generally what they need to go ahead and continue to process and get an interview scheduled. So in a way, the K-3 may still, if you can go ahead and get one through, the K-3 may still process more quickly compared to an immigrant visa but it’s my understanding that NVC still maintains the policy of administrative closure, where they get the immigrant case first and now processing of immigrant matters, immigrant spouse matters of American citizens, has reduced significantly. USCIS, to their credit, took significant substantial steps to make their process more efficient and they streamlined it, and I think they got more staff and things to deal with those matters and they put more resources on getting those cases processed, and as a result, in a way the K-3 is, I won’t say it’s obsolete, but its original reason for being there is not quite so pressing as it was at the time that it was created. And for that reason, I think it’s very probable that you are going to see fewer and fewer K-3 visas being processed in Cambodia or elsewhere.

Information Regarding the K-1 Fiancee Visa Process For Citizens of Laos
Posted by : admin
Below is a transcript of the video which can be found at the following link: K-1 Visas From Laos
In this video today we are going to be discussing K-1 visas but with the specific context of Laos. As previously mentioned, we’re based here in Bangkok and for those who have checked out this channel before, you can probably surmise that a lot of our activity with respect to, especially Immigration practice surrounds the US Embassy here in Thailand and a lot of our clientele are Thai nationals. But that being said, we do deal with cases that come up with respect to nationalities within this region rather frequently so it’s not uncommon for us to have a case or cases that may or may not end up, or will likely end up at the US Embassy in Vientiane, Laos.
The overall process for those of you who are watching this video and have never really dealt with the K-1 before. The process has got to begin in the United States, you have got to deal with DHS, the Department of Homeland Security, US Citizenship and Immigration Services, petition needs to be filed for fiancée visa benefits and certain requirements that are inherent to the petition with some exceptions, the couple needs to have met within 2 years of initial filing for K-1 visa benefits, they have to physically have met in person at least once within 2 years of the filing. The other thing to keep in mind with respect to the K-1 visa or the petition thereof is both parties need to be legally free to marry and moreover have to remain that way throughout the process. So, this can kind of be a little bit confusing to folks; you can’t marry each other while you are going for a fiancée vise benefit because it’s specifically is a fiancée visa benefit. So you can’t get legally married to one another. Now having a party to celebrate impending nuptials or something like this, that’s a different story but something to keep clearly in mind with respect to the fiancée visa category.
The thing that’s interesting with respect to Laos is you often will see a little bit of, you’ll see the occasional Laos national living and working in Thailand who will process through the embassy down here in Bangkok because they’re living and working down here in Bangkok and where certain local jurisdictions requirements are met for consular processing here, a Lao national could theoretically process through the US Embassy in Bangkok rather than up in Laos. Depending on the circumstances of the given case, that may or may not be more or less convenient for the applicant in question but that being said, presumptively, consular processing jurisdiction is based on the nationality of the applicant so if they’re a Lao national that happens to live in Thailand, but would prefer to process up in Laos that is certainly acceptable and they can go ahead and do that.
So basically, once the case, let’s presume it gets approved, the petition gets approved by the Department of Homeland Security, the case will move over to the national visa center. The National Visa Center acts as a sort of clearing house, or routing hub if you will, for immigrant visas, or for cases going throughout the world on behalf of the Department of State. It will then go to the Embassy in Vientiane and the Consular Section, the Immigrant Visa section of the Embassy in Vientiane will go ahead and inform the applicant what needs to be undertaken in order to finish up the process to get the visa issued. It should be noted, it’s rather an interesting aspect of the K-1 visa it that it is considered a dual intent travel document and the reason that this is interesting is because, as a dual intent travel document, it’s a non-immigrant visa category, but for practical purposes, for consular processing purposes, it is treated as if it was an immigrant visa category. So that’s something to sort of keep in mind and once the applicant obtains their K-1 visa, they can go to the United States within the window of time for the expiration of the underlying visa, and then once they arrive in the United States they can go ahead and remain in the US lawfully for 90 days but with the sole purpose of marrying their American citizen fiancée and then subsequently adjusting status to lawful permanent resident. There is another video on this channel, which specifically gets into adjustment of status. I recommend those who are interested in that topic, to specifically go to that video to check that out but suffice it to say, once one has adjusted to lawful permanent resident, the Green Card status, that’s effectively sort of the end of the process, in a way. Definitely, I look at is as a kind of conclusion of what was being sought which was bringing ones Lao fiancée into the United States to live permanently with the American citizen counterpart. So to sum up, the thing to keep in mind with respect to how this process works, it starts at the Department of Homeland Security, proceeds to the National Visa center and then finally ends up at the Consular Section of the US Embassy in Vientiane, Laos.

Information Regarding K-1 visas from Cambodia
Posted by : admin
The following is a transcript of the video found here: K-1 Fiance Visas From Cambodia:
In this video we are going to be discussing the K-1 Fiancee Visa specifically in the context of Consular processing in the Kingdom of Cambodia; specifically the US Embassy in Phnom Penh.
For those of you who have checked out this channel and seen some of the other videos, you probably know that we are based in Bangkok, Thailand, we do deal primarily with immigration matters arising with Thai-American nationality generally, we deal with a lot of US family immigration matters, fiancée visas, marriage visas etc.
Just because we’re located here, does not mean necessarily that this is our exclusive bailiwick with respect to US immigration. It is sort of interesting in so far as immigration attorneys who practice in the United States tend to have a plethora of rather wide range of nationality of clientele that they deal with, whereas, it is sort of somewhat inverted by us being based in Bangkok we primarily deal with Thai nationals. But that being said, I have dealt with cases involving the US Embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, quite a number of cases involving that particular post, mostly because of its nearby proximity to Thailand here. But that being said, for those who are interested in sort of an overview of the process it’s best to sort of look at it in 2 phases: One involves the Department of Homeland Security. The Immigration apparatus, USCIS under the auspices of DHS, Department of Homeland Security, is going to go ahead and adjudicate what is called an I-129 F petition. That petition is basically the starting point of the process if you will. You have got to file a petition and you have got to get approval from the Department of Homeland Security, USCIS, before being able to proceed further with the K-1 visa. After the initial adjudication of the petition, and let’s go into some details of some requirements associated with the petition, most notably the couple in question must both be legally free to marry at the time that the application is filed. Moreover, both parties need to have met physically, in person within a 2-year period of their initial filing of the petition for a K-1 visa status. The big things to keep in mind is that “You have got to be legally free to marry”, you can’t be getting a divorce, you have to already be divorced if you have a prior spouse; you have got to be legally free to marry and the other thing to keep in mind is this can sort of happen in certain common law jurisdictions or sometimes even in civil law jurisdictions. You can’t get married legally while the K-1 is processing, even if it’s to each other, you have to wait and remain fiancées until the foreign fiancée in this case Khmer, presumably coming out of Phnom Penh, comes to the United States and then you have 90 days to get married and file to adjust status. Adjustment of status is a different process. It comes subsequent to marriage, in the United States. There’s another video on this channel which specifically discusses the details of adjustment of status. Suffice it to say that basically that’s the process by which the foreign fiancée, and later spouse, becomes a lawful permanent resident, aka a green card holder in the United States. So that’s sort of the back end of the process. Going back, petition, have to have met within 2 years of filing, need to be legally free to marry, there’s other details associated with this, I am not going to get too deep into that side of things, but presuming USCIS DHS approval, the matter is going to move quickly over to the National Visa Center which acts as a sort of clearing house or routing hub to send it to the appropriate Embassy or Consulate abroad, in the case of Cambodia Nationals, presumably that’s going to be Phnom Penh , Cambodia and at that point, you need to deal with the specific Consular processing mandates of the visa section of the Embassy over there.
It is interesting to bring up with respect to K-1 visas, they are what is considered a dual intent visa. So technically speaking, they’re non-immigrant category but for purposes of consular processing, and sort of the application process, they are treated for all intents and purposes as Immigrant visas, just like a spouse visa, CR -1 IR -1 or “shades of grey” here but the K-3 visa. So basically to sum up, with respect to this video, the process for getting a fiancée of Cambodian nationality into the United States, begins in the United States, progresses through multiple agencies over there before getting to the US Embassy in Phnom Penh and then there’s various documentation associated with the overall process and various documents which need to be translated from Khmer to English etc. Our services, we can provide those translations, part and parcel with what we deal with on a regular basis. I oftentimes have to go over to Phnom Penh to deal with clients as well and that can sometimes come up. But just generally speaking, as sort of from an overview of how the process works and what we can do to assist if necessary is basically, it starts in the US, comes over to the Embassy and finally, I think it is pretty safe to say probably 8 months, 9 months on average, all in, the processing time for getting a K-1. It can move faster, it can move slower. The thing to keep in mind with respect to all US visa applications is they’re like snowflakes, every one of them is unique, every one of them is slightly different and you are going to see one case may move inordinately quickly, we actually had one process through quite quickly as far as sort of compared to averages and I think it sort of just hit the right desk at the right minute and just sort of went through whereas some cases they just move more slowly. It’s going to differ, case to case, circumstance to circumstance but that being said, with respect specifically to Cambodia K-1 Visas again are going to start processing in the United States, they’re going to end up in Cambodia and then once the Cambodian national comes to the United States and marries their American citizen fiancée, they can go ahead and petition to adjust status and receive a green card in the US.
