Getting a U.S. B12-Tourist Visa
Getting a U.S. B12-Tourist Visa
My american boyfriend & I been "dating" for 1 yr & 7 months now. We met on the internet, since then we webcam, speak over the phone almost everyday and mail stuff to each otherWe will be seeing each other IN PERSON for the first time on this October. He will stay here for 2 weeks and I want to do the same in the U.S.
In my job, I get like 10-15 days paid vacation leaves per year. I intend to spend those with him. I want to spend ample time with him in person before making long term decisions. I love him but Im trying to be logical. On top of that, I am reluctant where to live "IF EVER". I am happy in my country and I don't see any reason why I have to live abroad if not because of him. He said that he is considering to live here in the Philippines but I am worried of his health (he has depression, arthritis & acute acid reflux). He's a retiree of Ford Motors, got an excellent medical benefits so his health needs is best looked after if he's in the U.S.
If I will come in the US, my boyfriend will finance my airfare & stay. I don't plan to go anywhere else even if I have relatives in CA &NJ. I just want to stay on his home and take my time to gauge things in the future. I don't own a car, land or a house but I have a stable good job paying job (not enough for now to buy a property YET though), studying in Graduate School and has few savings in a bank.
Given this situation, what are my chances to acquire a tourist visa?
