if you're working, bring cert of employment.  if business, bring all related docs about your business including sample invoice, OR etc.  bring also sample itinerary just in case they ask exactly para alam nila na you really have plans just to visit.  in case your in laws are shouldering the fare, you need a letter in writing saying so.  if not. ok na yan
hi sis! after asking friends who just had their visa application confirmed that the option to reprint the DS160 is now disabled. It was actually in the confirmation page (was correct). Not sure why US Embassy website have this feature not available though.

Our interview is tomorrow! Hope all ends well for me, hubby and kid :) Yhanks for the help.

God bless sis. kaya mo yan. kwentuhan mo kami afterwards kung ano tinanong. basta confident lang ang sagot. parang job interview

san kayo nagpapakuha ng pic for your application mga sis?

kailangan pa ba ngayon may collar pa rin?

Here's the transcript from the US Embassy Manila web chat. Non-immigrant visa questions were answered by the embassy. Baka andyan ang mga tanong niyo :D

Hi sisses, I've been planning for over a year now to apply for a US visa kaso natatakot ako ma-deny  :(

Could someone give me an advise on whether I have chances of getting a visa or not.

- I am unemployed for almost a year but I am currently taking post graduate studies in one of the prestigious university in the country.
- I have travelled to Europe last year -Paris, London, Rome and Brussels- and nearby countries in Asia.
- I have a property on my name and savings accounts.
- My dad and sibling is staying in the Philippines while my mom is working abroad.
- My reason for going to the US is attending the debut celebration of my cousin.
Any inputs? Thanks in advance!  :)

sa wakas, i risked my 6,160 pesos!

kaso hassle pala dapat magpapic pa bago makakuha ng sched. hay! so pano yun? iscan nalang yung pic from kodak? or can we request a soft copy?

parang napapraning ako sa mga dapat dalhin na papers para sa isang single na  teacher na kagaya ko na nagpaplano lang umattend ng seminar sa florida.

- NSO birth cert
- NBI clearance
- letter of invitation from the organization holding the convention
- cert of employment
- cert of study leave (to prove na i should do a return service)
- peso savings account (dapat magrequest ng bank statement kasi ATM lang meron ako?)
- dollar account (dapat ba bank statement o pwede na passbook lang?)

i am also thinking of bringing the following:
-  reservation agreement ko sa lot that i intend to purchase(pwede kaya ipanotarize ko yun para maging official?)
- printed tickets of my immediate relatives-parents and only sis and her family sa states (they'll be coming to the phils this june)

parag wala naman sa ds form ng questions about properties? san nila chinecheck yun?

thanks. sana may sumagot. ;D

hi sissies, I tried to schedule an interview since Feb, but full na yung schedule for entire month of Feb by mga middle of the month ata. Tapos now I'm trying to schedule for March and wala nanaman slot. Tapos, hinde pa ako maka scroll to next month. Do I have to wait nanaman for April? I'm trying to schedule online. Ganun ba talaga ka puno always ang schedule na March 2 palang today e puno na kaagad for the entire month? Or is there something wrong lang kaya with my browser, or maybe the online appointment system does not work somehow?

mama squeak!

^When I scheduled an appointment for my MIL 1st week of February, wala nang available for that month. Yung nakita ko sa March naman konti na lang ang hindi tugma sa sked na gusto ko. So I ended up getting a sked for April 4 na. That time medyo marami pa available slots.

^ sis saan ka nag schedule? online ba? kasi I can only see the month of March tapos may mag pop-up na "no available dates" or something like that. But when I click "ok", ma log out ako kaagad

wrong move pala ako na kumuha ng docs first before scheduling for an interview, tuloy mga docs ko maging outdated na to

sometimes when you get error messages such as no available dates and you can't scroll forward or backward, the embassy is updating the dates.  by next day ok na dapat.

sis, i was able to book an appointment. stressful kasi nirush ko pa talaga ang picture just to finish everything today!

sobrang natataranta pako sa pagrereview ng ds 160 form.. nakailang ulit pako bago ko macomplete..

tapos ang haba pa pala ng process bago ka makapagbook ng sched.. nung nagappear na yung calendar ng march, naka-grey lahat isa lang ang nakagreen highlight.. wala pang indication kung ano yung ibig sabihin ng colors... basta gi-no ko na. super happy kasi yun talaga ang best date and time!  march 23, 7:15 am! woohoooo!

baka makatulong sa lahat ng nag-aapply for B1/B2 Visa Class
What do I need to bring?
ı All the basic requirements for a visa:
o Interview Appointment Letter;
o DS 160 Confirmation Copy (please note that it is important that you fully complete this before
arriving at the Embassy for your interview);
o Passport;
o Fee Receipt from Bank of the Philippine Islands
o One Photo (white background only)
o All prior passports and U.S. Visas
ı Please bring ALL available old passports, not just those with previous U.S. visas.
ı Make sure to bring alternative government-issued identification (in addition to your passport) to
present upon entry.
What about supporting documents?
Please Note: There is no complete list of documents that guarantee visa issuance. It is more important that
you can provide detailed, complete answers during the interview, and that you answer truthfully and with as
much candor as possible. In the end, issuance or denial of a visa depends upon whether or not you, as the
applicant, can overcome the presumption that you intend to immigrate to the United States. Because of this,
always keep in mind that your qualification for a visa is not dependent on the number of documents you bring.
ı For students, please bring your latest school results, transcripts and degrees/diplomas. Also bring
monthly bank statements, fixed deposit slips, or other evidence of financial support. NOTE: You do
NOT need to obtain a letter signed by the bank branch manager summarizing your total deposits.
ı For working adults, please bring evidence of your income for the three months immediately prior to
your interview.
ı Business owners should bring their company registration, bank statements, annual reports and
income statements.
ı Original documents are always preferred over photocopies.
ı If you are visiting a relative who resides in the United States, carry photocopies of the relative’s proof
of status (e.g. Green Card, naturalization certificate, valid working visa etc.).

if you need the whole article on what happens on the day of the interview, i can post it here ;)
