US Embassy / US Visa Thread 11

[wanderlusting]

hi sissies,

Ask ko lang if malaki bang chance na ma-deny ako for US Visa application kung 9 months preggers ako pag na-interview?

kasi plan ko sumabay kay hubby ng application ngayon.

[mimisim]

hi mga sis! ask ko lang pwede ko ba i-send yung ds-160 ng walang picture? parati kasi kami nagkakaproblema dun. di ma-achieve yung photo requirements eh.

[adikako]

^naku patay tayo jan! 

Picture pa naman ang kauna unahang requirement in order for you to secure application sa US. Hindi ka uusad sa apply mo kung wala neto!

sis try mo pakuha sa Island Photo sa Glorietta (tapat ng National Bookstore sa groundfloor). humingi me ng soft copy ng photo for added cost lang. perfect naman yung pagkagawa nila.

Sis wanderlusting hindi sya advisable sis kapag malaki na yung tummy.  Lalo na you're applying with your husband, baka isipin nila hindi na kayo babalik.

[mimisim]

^oo nga sis adikako, di tuloy ako makausad sa application namin. at lalo naman ako natakot dun. waaah! 

btw, would anyone know the earliest sched available today? tia! 

[mimisim]

^sis jazzlawyer, tnx! sige try namin dyan and sana mag-ok na para makapag-pasched na rin ako.

Plan namin mag apply ng parents ko ng USA visa. but here's our case

I am 24 years old. Working ako as a Librarian for 4 years with permanent status and taking up Masteral Degree.

My mom is working din sa bank. (22 years sa banking industry)

My dad is a plain house-husband.

My parents are not yet married.

Tingin niyo ba possible kami mabigyan ng visa sa application namin? Or mag individual nalang kami plan kasi namin as family kami sabay sabay...

Hi sisses! Plan ko din kumuha ng US Visa maybe next month or early May.

-Single
-23y/o
-Research analyst
-1st time to travel

In terms of family ties lahat ng relative ko nandito naman sa Pinas. Is it safe to say kaya na I'm going to stay sa friend ko in California or sabihin ko nalang hotel reservation? 1week lang ang plan ko mag stay, go to disneyland and universal studio since may work ako dito and hindi pwede mag leave ng magtagal. What are the chances kaya mga sisses? And usually ano ang mga question/s ng consul sa ganyang case. Thank you in advance!

^Sis,  as previously specified, it all depends on your ability to fund your trip.  And also, travel history is important.  I was denied once kasi blank ang passport ko.  Then we went to bangkok, and applied again, this time approved 10 years multiple entry.

You have to be prepared to have at least 100k in your bank account, else consul will ask how can you afford the trip.

Good luck.

I believe that travel history wont make or break ones application. If you dont have travel history it doesn't mean they will deny you agad. When my entire family got our visa we havent been to anywhere, as in clean passport.  Our first visa was from the US embassy, a 10 year multiple. It was our very first time to apply for any kind of visa too.

A friend applied, shes been to a couple of countries, she was denied. So i can say that travel historyis not the only factor. There are so many things to consider. You have to prove you have strong ties here in the Philippines. Pag single usually red flag yan. Pag may job, lalo na yung tipong  5 plus years ka na sa company mo, will be good for your profile. Basta sabihin mo what your real plans are, like if you will live with a friend then declare that, kung hotel yan then declare that instead. Ayaw nila ng sinungaling.
