How much money should I send my Thai fianc�e while waiting for her visa approval?

Been asked millions of Times, Why don't you want her to work.?.

Ask her how much?, see what her response is.

Does she want to go to English school, if so try a short course first to make sure she will attend, and you pay yourself.

[TAXEXILE]

what work was she doing before you decided you dont want her to work anymore?

if it was your decision to prevent her from working, then you should cover the salary she was earning originally.

She was a hotel receptionist, but now, she is taking care of mom who had a stroke. She wants to take some English classes 3 or 4 days a week.

[Jackthelad]

So why does she need a visa for US, if taking care of mum?

How long you known her?

This is so sweet.

Reminds me of the time I met a young restaurant waitress in Future Park. We spent a couple of weeks going out together and she was so impressed that she suggested we spend a night together in Pattaya.

A night to remember it was.

Her mother fell desperately sick a week later and I was asked for a vast sum of money to assist with medical bills.

I can smell a rodent a mile away.

She was a hotel receptionist,

phew, thank god for that.

for a minute there i thought you were going to tell us she was a lawyer or an accountant.

Jaded cynics the lot Chuck. Pay no attention. Give her all she wants. Building a house a good start. Several bedrooms for relatives to take care of mama when your fiancee is in US. Naturally, buy a Fortuna as well. Mom may need emergency trip to hospital.

Why not ask her? Surely that is fairly straight forward.

However, what if she takes the money and yet still goes back to working in the *coughs* hotel. Not sure this has been done before, but she might.

Trust her - send her your credit card and let her decide how much she needs.

Because I work in the US and we are going to live here. We have been dating about 7 months.

She worked at the 4 Seasons not the Hunny Whoretell.

[Guest]

Well in that case, she should be OK with 14k baht a month. Job done.

Bit harsh, Mid. He's asking a perfectly legitimate, if naive, question. Are you a mod or something around here?
