^^ Your ties to the Philippines are far more important to your reason to go to the US.  If your "status" (financial / employment) has not changed from the last time you applied, i think you'll still be denied.

Hello! May question ulit ako.actually yung isa kong post hindi pa approved ng mod.so try ko ipost na lang ulit. Meron ba sainyo na nakawala ng passport, especially yung may US visa? May effect po ba ito pag nag apply ulit? Saka may sister ako, she will get married this year and with a 3 year old daughter. Balak ko na sana siya pasamahin samin mag apply ng visa kasi pag siya lang and daughter niya,baka mahirapan siya. Do you think this is a good idea?

[jhez]

Pinagapply ko parents ko. Yun father ko 18yrs na sa work. Si mama naman housewife at nagtitinda tinda. Pero nilagay ko sa application ko. Ako din sponsor and im permanet resident. Kaya mas nakakakaba. Aug 2 ang interview.

Gumawa ako ng listahan kasi baka malimutan ang sagot sa ds160. Un pala pag nasubmit mo na di na pede iprint. Buti un sa tatay ko naprint ko before ko isubmit kaya kako pagaralan nila kung ano sinagot ko dun. Or else babye P17K.

[rocky]

^oo sis dapat alam nila yong sinagot mo sa DS form kasi don talaga iikot yong mga tanong. wag nilang dalhin yong kodigo ha, bawal.

hehe inisip ko na lang na IO lang kausap ko, para hindi ako kabahan.

[grace08]

Sis sana ang nilagay mo dad mo ang gagastos sa trip nila para maprove nya na capable sya to travel .

hi po ask ko lang po kung hiningan kayo ng itinerary even though wala pang final na schedule talaga kayo? and what about  yung point of contact? san po kayo kumuha ng reference?  as well as sa address na rin? im planning to apply din kasi. wala din ako lahat except sa work and some fund.  malaking fund po ba ang prinesent nyo? swerte nyo po and congrats!

[tsokolat]

^thanks 😊 yep, walang docs na hiningi. Un nauna sa aking nainterview mejo madami tanong sa kanya pero wala din hiningi na docs. Tinanong pa un salary nya. Binigyan din sya ng visa

[alotlikefate]

Congrats!

Im planning to get US tourist visa rin sa September sana ma approve din just like you. Im doing my research pa [textspeak!] now  on how to apply.

[rocky]

^^sis misisef, wala akong itinerary pero nag-ready lang ako baka sakaling hingin. nagkataon na nasa florida dati kong officemate so hiningi ko address nya & mobile #, sya yong contact person ko. kaya sa florida din yong ginawa kong itinerary.

130K lang savings ko pero hindi rin hiningi bank cert. kahit monthly salary ko hindi tinanong though nandon naman yon sa DS-form

ooohhhh ok. hmmm thank you!!! will try na lang din.

uhm has anyone tried applying here with invitation, paano ba? parang wala naman sa application na mag-ask sila ng reason why you need a visa.

I think naman with your sister?s health, may added push yun sa consul to give you visa. Basta show them lang her medical records or appointments and tell them you would want to be there for her emotional support and assistance as her sister, not as caregiver. Iwas lang sa any answer na magmumukhang babayaran ka ng sister mo to take care of her.

Just had our visa approved today. I had my drop box waiver visa renewal last year and it was not approve and they advise me for personal appearance naka tamadan ko na mag renew. Ma expired na visa fee payment ko sa Aug 16. Kaya sinabay ko na daughter ko for interview

Daughter: 3y.o 1st timer

with Hubby: with visa 10yrs multiple entry

Scenario:
-Fast Lane kami palagi dahil siguro may kasama kami toddler. Kaso nun for verification na kami di nag ok yung photos namin online, so pina pa picture pa kami sa kodak booth nila nasa 80pesos 6copies. (I suggest bring a 2x2 photo i.d para di na hassle)

-after our photos we give 1copy then for finger scanning na kami, my 3y.o daughter di na ini scan ako lang.

-then fast lane na naman kami and na assign kami sa window 18 for interview.

[BicuriousGS]

And i got a 10yrs m.e again also my 3y.o daughter got a 10yrs multiple entry. Goodluck sa mga mag apply and just be honest with your answer and be confident always in answering the consul's queries.

Hello, just a question. If I have several friends in different states in the US, are they still worth mentioning if I have no plans on visiting them naman? Thanks! =)

[simang]

^I don't think so. Usually naman immediate family lang ang tinatanong sa ganyan. Kung friends lang I don't think you need to disclose especially if hindi mo naman sila pupuntahan. Maybe mention them if you're going to stay with them for a bit pero kung hindi naman wag na.

[huit]

Ok. Thanks a lot!

[Donnasue]
