WHAT KIND OF VISAS CAN BE USED TO BRING MY THAI FIANCEE OR SPOUSE'S CHILDREN TO THE USA?
The child or children of a Thai fianc?or spouse enters the United States on a derivative visa. This means that a Thai fianc?who enters the US on a K-1 Fianc?visa will be able to bring her child on a K-2 visa, a derivative visa of the K-1. For a Thai spouse who enters the United States on a K-3 visa a K-4 visa will be used to bring in the Thai child. For an Immigrant Relative or Conditional Resident Visa, the Thai will come to the US on visas derivative of their Thai mother's.

Children of a Thai fianc?or spouse do not need to have a separate K-1/K-3 petition filed on their behalf.

A separate I-130 immigrant visa petition must be filed

ETA stands for Electronic Travel Authority and represents the fact that this visa no longer takes the form of a stamp in your passport. Instead, if approved, the authorisation is stored electronically against your passport number. The only requirement set for those applying for a tourist visa is that they hold a passport in one of the thirty-four approved countries. However, do not assume that just because you meet this requirement you will then automatically qualify for a visa, this is simply not the case.
