The persons in the USA do nothing for a tourist visa, the foreign citizen files for one at the nearest US consulate.

You may provide of invitation explaining the visit to the USA, your sister may have to provide solid evidence of ties to the home country showing that she will return home before the visa expires, a letter from employer.

good.gif Does your sister have strong ties to home, meaning does she have a good job or own a lot of land or have a large bank account? It can be very difficult to get a tourist visa at times. I don't want to be discouraging but knwo how difficult it can be and the Philippines is one of the more difficult places.

actually my aunt is giving her a house and lot, she is transferring one of her land title into my sister as a gift for her, because she is the only one in the family that finishes any course. All she have to do is go and see my aunt to sign the papers.

She needs all the evidence she can get showing she won't go TNT and has GOOD reasons she will return home.
She also has to show she has enuf money to pay her own way for the trip.
A friend of mines mamang just was approved and she didn't have a whole lot.
She was pregnant also and her doctor wrote a letter saying it would be a big help if moms was there to help out during the birth.
Only cost $100 so why not go for it.
One problem is your sis is no doubt younger and can run faster!!
USCIS does take age into consideration.
