You will have to go to the nearest embassy or consulate to apply for a visitors visa. But you are going to have to make sure that he can prove strong social (leaving wife or minor children behind) or financial ties (bank statements, ownership of property or business) back to the home country or a proven track record of traveling.

ask him who his father is

The truth is that you can't.  If you move, there is still contact, and it is the contact that is damaging to a relationship.  I moved countries with my ex wife, her family had just as much pull with 5000 miles between them and us as they did when we were there just a few miles away.\n\nTime and bereavements are the only way...\n\nGood luck!

well when he gets there he needs to apply for a visa to work there. If he can't get one in S. Africa. ALSo by now he should have learned if he could have gotten one already. The only thing to tell you to keep trying no one but both countrys to get one.

Dear Alex\n\nI am sorry to hear about your father's medical condition, please refer to my last reply to you and if there are any further problem's with regards to your father wishing to seek a consultation with a private Ear, Nose & Throat Specialist, then you should get in touch with The Royal College of Surgeons in London who will be able to put your father intouch with a private Ear, Nose & Throat Specialist either in Harley Street, or one of the other specilized places in London.\n\nPLEASE NOTE\n\nYour father may have to be referred to one of these specialist's either by your own Countries General Medical Practitioner, or Hospital, or your father may have to register with a General Medical Practitioner in London for referral purposes.\n\nHowever, if the matter is a Medical Emergency, then your father can come to London and attend The Accident & Emergency Department of any of the hospital's which I have previously given to you and your father will be deal't with, with the minimum of delay.

you need to get an invitation from your uncle\n\nyou should also transit to another country first. you can go to switzerland first. \n\nyou will be interviewd by many people. just be honest and bring all relevant papers. this takes a lot of time and it is not even sure you can get a visa.\n\nmaybe the best option is that your uncle comes to europe and you come to europe.

First of all he is going to have a hard time mainly because he is of a Muslim background. They will give him the run around unless he has a good reason for coming to America. You can look at the website as much as you want. They will not tell you the whole process that they will try to put him through. I have been working in Germany at the airport and had to deal with people who wanted to come to America for 5 years and I also know what they do at the American Embassy. You need to get someone who will sponsor him or that are willing to watch over him and have a place that he will stay. May I add; You and that person will under surveillance for a long time. They will also probably make a background check on you. Hope I was able to help you.

I don't know what country you live in but here in Canada the nursing home "takes" nothing. Here, if your father is still cognitively well he would be the one determining whether to sell HIS house and use the money to help pay the nursing home bill if so be it. Also make sure you have in place who is the power of attorney(finances) and who is the power for care. It maybe or can be the same person. Just in case your father is not cognitively well. You can get home kits or go to a lawyer to assist you.

Well as you say that your dad already has a house built in Thailand it should not be too hard for your parents to move back to Thailand. Your father seems like a very qualified person so I am sure with some looking he will find employment. If your dad is willing to do this I think it would make your mom a lot happier, but on the downside would she be depressed about being seperated from you and you her? There is a possibility it is a no win situation. I hope that something can be resolved where all of you are happy. Good luck!

Well... its simple... take the first flight and go away! The faster you do it the better is for you! If your father wants to see you just pay him a flight to visit you. Sometimes parents cannot see the reality of their children especially in the south of eurozone. I can guess whats your country reading what you say about your previous boss... i think... we maby live in the same country -the only one in eurozone where some boss can propose to pay u 0,89 euros even only teasing you... Just go away if you can as soon as possible! Good luck!

If he is already in this country, you just need to get a marriage license, which you can do from your local county clerk. If you need to bring him into the United States, look at the info at the site below.

You know you and I are in the boat, but it's my mother who's in my way. I wish she could feel more secure, so I could have more freedom; especially the chance to go abroad. I think your father is the one who feels insecure, so he wants to be in your way. Maybe you can try to take him out with you when you're not going on a date. Hope my suggestion helps. Good luck and best wishes.
