Tourist Visa help by TitoDan
My Filipina wife would like to spend some time with me here in the US. She had a family member set up an interview for a Tourist Visa with the US embassy in MNL, then made the trip from Dumaguete (Sadly, she forgot to show the ...
Many thanks for the comments/suggestions. Seems we had two heavy reasons she was denied: She fits the profile for a possible overstayer in US, and we were poorly prepared. If we do it again, we will plead a heavier case, especially the 'ties to ... Read More
