Help! US Embassy Visa questions...

[gearhead000]

di ko makita yung post mo about the new visa renewal process. pano na ba now? mas hindi na daw mabusisi if renewal nalang compared sa new application?

first syempre bayad ka BPI. then, prepare ka rin ng digital pic mo. punta ka online and start your application. you will have to upload yung digital pic mo dun. yun na rin gagamitin sa visa mo kung makapasa ka. then fill out the application. medyo mahaba ito. just answer as truthfully and completely as you can. then you will have to print out a page sa dulo. eto yung dadalhin mo sa embassy. pa-schedule ka and punta ka at your appointed date. your papers will be checked at least twice. isa sa gate, then just before the consul. ayun na.

i am not sure about dun sa "no interview". kasi ako renewal din last year and medyo mahaba-haba rin ang tsikahan namin ng consul. haha.

I do believe malaking factor nga kung sinong consul at ang mood nung consul. I've seen wealthy rich people get denied and simple middle-class individuals granted multiple-entry US visas. Meron din akong mga kaibigan nabigyan sila ng tourist visa on the 6th consecutive try within a year, all without any economic changes in their ties.

[_Qwerty_]

factor din ba yung mga Visa na nasa passport mo?

What other Visas are on your Passport?

[Picard]

Past visited foreign countries MAY give you a bit of an edge for a US visitor visa but it does not establish your ties in the Philippines. But then again, even strong economic ties do not guarantee approval. Nobody knows the formula but the consul himself. The best thing to do is to establish very strong ties OR strong connections within the US embassy. Yes, padrino system is existent even in the US embassy.

one of the factors siguro siya... kasi yung brother-in-law ko na-deny siya, advice sa kanya 'travel more'... tapos nung ako na, kahit marami stamp sa passport ko e denied din ako. reason naman sakin may approved petition na daw ako why pa ko mag-aapply. hintayin ko na lang daw yon. kahit si erpat, gov't employee siya for more than 30 yrs. na, 5 times na yata siya na-deny. nabigyan lang siya kasi kailangan nung utol ko ng guardian kasi may US trip sila na connected sa school. pero tingin ko swertehan lang din talaga.

[shadow]

nope, I don't believed na swertihan, depende sa consul etc...if they don;t have any reason to deny you a visa. hinde ka madedeny...simple as that. prove that you can afford or to be a tourist in the US...ganun kasimple. if one is denied meron at meron reason yan...

self assessment lang kasi muna gawin, if hinde pa nakak abroad, then konti lang pera sa bank. how do you expect consul to grant you a visa? baligtarin mo situation kung ikaw consul tapos ganun ang circumstances ng applicant. denied rin saiyo eh.

saka walang mas madali ma approve na season dahil isa sinusunod nila eversince "every applicants are presumed intending immigrant" so it's up to you to prove otherwise...

yun mga nagsasabi na swertihan etc. mga na deny lang yun...if that is the case then any random person w/o anything can just apply for a Us visa and just hope that the consul wake up at the right side of the bed?

sinabi sa akin yan ng consul nun nag renew ako last year, he asked me why i didnt used my visa the last 2 years. I just told him, I visited other countries. and nakita naman niya sa stamp ng passport ko kaya sabi niya sa akin " that's true. I hope filipinos would realized there are other countries they can also visit..."

[ecneret]

para sakin swertehan pa din sa consul. si erpats kasi kumpleto naman sa requirements and afford naman mag-travel, may konting asset din naman and to think na govt employee pa siya pero na-deny pa rin ng ilang beses. tapos nabigyan siya ng 10 yrs multiple nung dahil nga kailangan may guardian yung sis ko pag nag-travel. e kung sa tingin ng consul na wala talaga siyang karapatang mabigyan ng visa based don sa mga previous na interviews nya e dapat di din siya binigyan or dapat sana single entry lang yung binigay sa kanya just for the purpose na masamahan lang yung sis ko. well, base sa observation ko lang yon. and i respect your opinion din. saka tama ka na di lang US ang maganda o pwedeng puntahan.

Di naman pala nagbago yung process since nagapply kami 2 yrs ago.

HI Marg, I have an Australian Visa, South Korea Visa, Japan Visa, German Visa.

The Euro Visa will help your case. It shows that you can afford a European trip, and that you have not TNT'd.

When asked for your purpose in travelling to the US, tell them you have gone to EuroDisney and the US Disney is next on your Holiday travel agenda. Boost up your Bank account na din because they might take a peek.

TRANSLATION: I have $$$$ to throw for useless Junkets. Hahaha

sa akin depende sa consul, nung nag apply kami last 2009 buong pamilya kami, dalawang bata na 7 at 9 tapos kaming mag asawa
nabigyan kami multiple walang hinanap na supporting papers.

[shadow]

Wala Sa consul yan, Kung legit tourist ka, Bakit ka nila I deny? Regarding if they don't need to see, hinde nila hahanapin...

Never ako hinananpan ng documents ng US embassy...

[SELEGNA_35]

ang consul din kasi ang mag dedetermine kung ikaw ay bibigyan o hindi ng visa, so sa palagay ko depende sa consul kung ikaw ay ma appraise na hindi legit na tourist deny ka, kung mapapaniwala mo sila na tourist ka ok ka. dami ko kaibigan denied, wala naman balak mag TNT.
