@superbubly, may visa po sa mainland china (Beijing, Shenzhen, Shanghai etc) pero sa hongkong and macau visa free dun.
yung business nyo po, may mga papers po ba like dti permit, business permit, bir etc? mahalaga din po kasi yun to show them that you have a legitimate business here in the Philippines.

[superbubly]

meron sis, so next time iphoto copy ko yung mga papers namin for this, thanks ulet sis

[coldsiren]

^ good. if they ask for the original, tell them that you're required by law to post them in your shop/office.

FYI, all-in na yung USD140 application fee. No need to pay for shipping/courier fee after the interview. You just have to indicate upon scheduling the interview if you want home delivery, office delivery or pick up. Old style na yung may separate courier fee. even when I renewed under VRP last Oct, no separate fees na

[coldsiren]

^ wow buti naman sinama na nila yung shipping fee. so after ng interview, diretcho uwi na yung mga approved yung visa?

[theflygirl]

^Yes. 

[pretinnes]

Mahirap ba makakuha ng tourist visa ngayon?

[coldsiren]

^ 70% approved 30% denied daw sabi ng US embassy.

Hello. I would like to ask how long would it take for the embassy to send the Visa once you get approved? Thanks.

[theflygirl]

^Normally takes 3 days.

Hello sisses, di ba mas okay kung naka pagtravel na sa ibang bansa bago mag apply ng us visa? Kasi isip ko kaka renew lang ng passport ko last year and so far hk and macau pa lang ang tatak sa passport ko, but sati madalas ako mag travel, makikita pa ba nila yung mga old tatak ng passport ko, I meant masisilip ba nila na frequent traveler ako dati or balewala na yun, so dapat mas magtavel ulit ako ng madalas para madagdagan yung tatak sa pp ko?

Also, kasama ko mag apply ng us visa si hubby and my 1 and a half year old son by late this year or early next year (we plan to apply for a japan visa muna mid this year and kung ma approve dun muna kami pupunta, may guarantor kami). Pano kaya yun? Wala ako work kasi plain housewife lang ako, wala ako mapapakita na itr or coe or payslip? Meron ako credit cards and bank accounts (savings and sda) lang, pati land title kaso co-owner ko yung sister ko. Okay na kaya yun? Si hubby lang kasi nagwo-work eh.

Mas okay din ba kung may invitation letter from a relative or friend?
Thanks in advance po

[skylar-ddm]

pag nagset ba ng schedule for me and my husband isang date lang kaagad yun or separate yung pag set for each one of us?

[cerenity_18]

I mean matagal ba ang schedule? like for example sa april10 ako mag bayad and mag apply online for sched...mga anong month na yung schedule ng interview? natatakot kase akong magbayad tapos di namn pala abot...im planning to leave the country on june going to mexico  i will use my visa lang for visit/shopping sa US while in mexico since hubby's hometown is like 4 hours away from tucson/arizona.....in case i cant make it pwede ba ako sa mexico nalang ako mag apply ng B1B2. yung online scheduling ba me vayad lang or yung call center lang  i mean diba long distance ang charge nun???hay sana keri pa

[dizzylizzie]

mga sis , mas mahirap ba makakuha ng tourist visa sa US kung idedeclare mong  isa kang employed nurse dito sa Pilipinas? may mga naririnig kasi ko na nurse ka pagdududahan ka agad na ang purpose ng trip mo ay humanap ng trabaho don. kaya sabi sa kin wag ko daw i declare na nurse ako kaso paano naman yun. i dont have any plans of overstaying there.
 i have enough funds sa bank ko and I have my own house and car kaso sa ITR ko talagang mababa lang kasi nga nurse lang naman ako dito. ok lang kaya yun.

[marssie]

Pag nag expire yung passport, paano yung US visa na nakatatak sa expired na passport? Ililipat ba yun sa bagong passport? Pashare naman ang procedure if ganon nga.
