Hey Bruce, Im thinking of returning to the Chesapeake one more time. I own a boat slip in Annapolis so could live there just for the simmer. Despite my well known debauchery I care for Mrs. Bill but from what I read she would not be given a visa , How did you get a Visa for Mrs Mangosteen? Do you have an Attorney contact.If I cant take my wife I don't think I will go.

Hey Bill, I used a service owned by this guy: https://www.tbabusinessservices.com/home They are excellent, very experienced and informative, and VERY thorough. I used them for my wife's fiancee visa, to make the green card paperwork, and also to make the green card extension paperwork.
Jim is a friendly and easygoing guy. He answered every email and question, regardless of how long after the previous job I contacted him. He has a Bangkok-based employee, a Thai woman whose English is very good and worked well with my wife.
All things considered, if it's possible for your missus to get a visa to come here, Jim and Ning can get it done for you.
While you're here, why not consider sailing that boat down the intracoastal to Charleston? I live literally a mile from where it passes through, and you should be able to get short-term mooring in Mount Pleasant or Charleston.
Good luck, and keep me posted.
Best regards,

Thanks for the reply Ray, if I go forward I'll speak with your contact. I think I screwed up by marrying her so I could provide an annuity for her. I retired from the Feds and they will provide a small annuity when I pass on but now I find a fiance visa is easier than if you are already married. You are fortunate to live where you do, one of the reasons I want to return to Annapolis one more summer. I lived on my sailboat for awhile and nothing so wonderful as sitting in the cockpit ,cup of tea and watching the fish and birds at daybreak. Thanks for the offer it would be great as I always wanted to sail the ICW and then over to the Bahamas but my knees are fucked I cannot sail anymore. Ill buy a Tiara 3100 and Mrs Bill can help me on the Chesapeake. All the best, Bill.

To the best of my knowledge you'd need a marriage visa if you're already married, and those take much longer than a fiance visa because they come with the green card. If it's just for a summer, I think a vacation visa would be the way to go. Jim Styers can answer questions like this though.
Best of luck with whatever you decide.
Sorry to hear about your knees. At least you're still getting around though. I had my hips replaced in Bangkok about 10 years ago, and it gave me my life back. Here's the guy who did it: https://phyathai2international.com/doctor/Prof.-Dr.Thanainit-Chotanaphuti/108/en
As I mentioned on the board, we'll be in Thailand from April 18 until May 10. Hope we get a chance to get a beer.
Cheers,
Ray
