    Hi everyone, I just want to ask mga naging experience and tips niyo when it comes to tourist visa processing for US, UK, Schengen, Japan, Korea, etc. I already have Japan and Korea (multiple) sa tingin niyo which of the three visas (UK, US & Schengen) ang may higher chances of approval? I am currently a small time business owner. May konting ipon sa bangko. Nakakatravel once to twice a year outside the country. Thank you sa lahat ng mag sshare ng experience nila. God bless!

    Among the 3 I would say schengen Mas malaki chance for approval. Then US, teka lang hinde mo pa ba alam saan mo balak pumunta? Sayang din visa fee.

    If wala naman Reason to deny your application, you'll have it. I don't believe in swertehan or kung ano mood ng consul. Kalokohan yan,

    If your papers are in orders and there's no reason for denial. Kahit saan ka pa mag apply ng visa, mabibigyan ka.

    Yup. Add ko lang for the US specially, just be calm, honest and straightforward sa consul. Nung last application namin halatang nagsisinungaling yung nauna sa amin. She was very nervous and fidgety too. Na-deny tuloy.

    Hi boss salamat sa payo. Mas okay talaga mauna US kasi mas marami ako kakilala dun kaya lang ka intimidate kasi ang ibang stories na naririnig ko. Lahat naman sila sayang visa fee if ma deny since more than $100 ang fee. Siguro mas okay nga ang Schengen muna. Isip nalang saan dun pupunta.

    Maski ako hindi naniniwala diyan. Basta para sakin basta kumpleto at authentic ng documents at hindi ka sinungaling. Wala naman siguro rason para hindi ka bigyan. Pero factor din ba ang may magandang travel history? I mean frequent traveler.

    Yes, mas maganda Travel History malaki bagay din. Pero yun strong ties mo talaga dito ang malaking factor.

    Pero flex mo lang muscle mo sa harap ng consul, approved ka na sigurado.

    I would have to disagree. My Tita was denied a US visa over 10 yrs ago. Prior to that she has been to the US and Europe several times. She was already in her 50s and was travelling with her girl friends. She has children and assets here in the PH. She is too old to work and no reason to TNT. Bakit na deny? It can't be finances or no family ties. Although, the difference was she was widowed already when she applied for her US VISA. But ever since then, my Tita never attempted to get a US visa na. hahaha!

    Kaya hindi mo rin masasabi na dahil kulang requirement, dahil nerbyos, dahil nagsisinungaling etc.

    Best would be to go as a family. Wala pa ko nakilala na deny who applied as a family (nuclear)

    Marami na rin po akong narinig na similar scenario. Kaya palaisipan pa rin sakin ang pag approve ng tourist visa sa US. Ako din as a family if mag apply parang wala pa po ako naririnig na denied sila. Pero what if yung scenario eh retired na both parents? Okay lang ba na mga anak ang guarantor for them?

    There's always a reason why.

    But sometimes those reasons are not valid. Just like my Tita who definitely had no plans of being a TNT, and yet they denied her a visa.

    Siguro never mo pa naranasan kasi ma deny ng US visa.

    Mahirap talaga yung ganyang sitwasyon na wala ka naman talagang intensyon mag TNT at you have all the means para maka travel sa US. Pero denied.

    my wild, illogical guesses:
    1. she might get sick and/or die there. the federal government doesn't want to be bothered with her healthcare and/or funeral arrangements...
    2. baka mag-TNT, for whatever reason. she has no binding reason to return to the phils. the longer she stays there, the more likely for #1 above.
    3. 50s is still "work-able". she just has to look for it.

    she certainly is TNT material.

    Anybody can be TNT material if you look for reasons.

    Sa US embassy, pipila ka parang snake style and maririnig mo yung ibang applicants while being interviewed. Kapag tumagal ng 10 mins and up ang interview, more likely denied yon since maraming questions yung consul. So indicator na yon sayo.

    Those consul can sense fear and if you are hiding something. Advice to you TS is just be 100 percent honest.

    i believe that is why some US interviewers deny a perfectly reasonable request for visa.

    Huwag mo na consider japan Since hinde naman talaga mahirap makakuha ng visa sa kanila plus nag relax pa sila for Philippine passport holders.

    Ito tip lang sa Japan visa application huwag kayo maniwala sa Travel agency na hindd nagbibigay ng multiple entry japan for first time applicant.
    Insist niyo pa rin na multiple entry gusot ninyo.

    Sinabi lang nila yan para meron ulit sila kikitain sa inyo pag nag renew kayo agad pag balik ninyo galing japan

    Meron talagang nakitang Reason bakit siya na denied. Maybe she's in the fence so consul chose to err on the side of caution and just denied her.

    Wala nga talaga plano but na project ba niya properly sa consul? Baka hindd niya nasagot mga questions? They're not Gods but they know what to look out for and I'm sure they undegons rigorous training to be consul.

    There's probably inconsistencies sa mga sagot niya.

    First walang alam naman mga consuls sa individual applicants. They're just basing their questions Kung ano submit mo or kung ano sinabi mo.
