The amount of effort expended to get him compared to the treatment of the Thai minor who was raped should cause the RTP to hang its head in shame. -

Thai citizen applying for USA tourist visa
If those were actual visa applications that were denied, I'm sorry, but the chances of her bringing her brother on a family visa application (family category F4 just got close to impossible. And, if there were no previous visa applications, all is perfect with the application, the petitioner (sister) is in good standing and can provide evidence of support and the beneficiary is in good standing with his past, police records, etc., the time from application to interview is at least 5 years. This is totally out of anyone's hands and is determined by the number of available visas for Thailand at any given time. This is a long and difficult process; it can be really expensive and there are no guarantees. On the positive side of things, it is better than India, where the f4 category has a wait time of over 16 years. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/green-card-waiting-time-by-country -

Thai citizen applying for USA tourist visa
One important piece of advice for anyone (any country) who has even the remote idea they might want to immigrate to the United States is: DO NOT apply for a tourist visa unless you are 100 percent sure you will get approved. The State Department and USCIS does research past visa applications (especially denials) and if they see just one, it will make any future visa application much, much harder. And, if the denial was because of falsification of information (regardless of by intention of mistake), the application will almost certainly require a form 601 waiver. And you will need an immigration attorney to help with this application. Don't mess up your chances trying to get a visitor visa unless you really are planning to return to Thailand and can prove that to the immigration officer. Lastly, if a person has applied before for an immigrant visa and been denied, it is going to be really difficult to get any visa to the USA. Notice! I am not an immigration attorney and any comments I make should not be construed as legal advice. -

News Forum - Phuket power play: Deputy PM aims to dismantle influential figures
Probably. It's been a bad year for British tourists in Phuket. The number of disruptive incidents involving British nationals seems to be increasing. Over the last few months alone, we have reports of Brits nabbed for drug dealing, working without visas, vandalism, drunk and disorderly and the usual fighting. It must be embarrassing for the Ambassador to have to go and defend his citizens under such circumstances.
