i really want to visit him.we didnt see each other for a long time already.
and what kind of visa should i go..
..i hope u can help me to my problem..
thank u so much...
If you already have an existing tourist visa, yes.
Im not sure if you can get a tourist visa while your spouse visa is pending. To acquire tourist visa B2, make sure first you have enough funds and assets over here to show in the immigration that you do not intend to fully abandon the country. Bank Accounts with activity on your name, land title, business property, car or an employment certificate.
Remember how strict the american embassy to filipinos.
i dont have any visa yet..cos we just got married this year here in philippines when he go home here and visit me.due to his job cos his always busy.he cant fix my spouse visa yet.
so we are thinking if theres another way i can go there.even in like 2 weeks.
so atleast we can spend xmas together...
and i was in school here too so i really have to come back here..
do u think its possible...
how much they need for the bank account..
Where are you Lawandee? He's the Immigration expert on this board.
Immigration looks at THINGS YOU WILL HAVE TO COME BACK not for the reason to leave. I do not think school and back account is enough. If you have those things I mentioned, you will have a big chance. I heard that the show money is P300,000
well we dont have business here yet..what if he send me some invitation like tourist invitation.that good for 2 weeks...and we have bank account do u think its possible..
This is difficult. I would say almost impossible as rate of approval of visitor's visa is equivalent to zero. Invitation letter from your husband or his family does not help, the consulate looks into evidence of "ties to your home country" as number one issue, plus you must prove that you have enough funds to cover all expenses.
You may try... but it would be hard and the chance to get the visa is so slim. Most important issue is you must disclose the fact that you already married to an American citizen.. the consulate will turn you down but when you apply for immigrant visa, there will be no objection.
On the contrary, if you lie to the consulate about your marriage and this info come up in the future when you apply for immigrant visa, your case will be denied based on lies to gain immigration benefit and you will ba barred from entering US for life.
If I were you, I won't apply for visitor's visa now.. just wait for immigrant visa.
i dont know when my husband can find time to find the visa thing.his really busy at work.so he ask me if theres a way that instead of him.im th eone who gonna fix r paper thing..
he told me it would be easier if i do that instead of him cos his always busy..
is there anyway..or is it possible that im the one who gonna file all the paper work...of course with his support when it comes to signing up and other things..
US military personnel can get assistance on every legal issues thru their administrative offices. They will give him advise on what to do, forms, fees, where to file, etc. and even prepare statements from his boss. This is also available at all bases overseas, so when your husband claims he's too busy, I don't buy it.
The point is he must be the one who file the petition, not you. I hope that he's just not smart... not trying to ignore this issue on purpose. Tell him to get assistance from his office.
i've got this same problem..im also married to an american citizen for 2 years but he can't send me to U.S because he currently not employed, when i met him here in philippines he just quit his job and try to be freelance on photography, and after we got married he go back to U.S and try to look for a new job but because the crisis is globally he cant find a nice job, he want me to go U.S so i was thinking that maybe i can try to get a tourist visa but i am afraid that the consulate will not allow me to enter U.S if they find out that i am already married to an american citizen, but as a review about all requirements for US tourist visa i have a" property tittle" and i can provide my "statement of account" and that's all under my single name but im using my married name on my passport but i heard that using my single name on supporting doccuments is not a problem,and they also say that you should need to convince the consulate that you have intent to go back here{ philippines}, i will try to apply tourist visa next week and try to get a 90 days visit and i will post here if im approved or not, if anybody has same problem like this and they already tried to apply tourist visa and got approved share your experience to us..god bless!
