...last tuesday (1.22.08), i brought my parents to the USEM for their tourist visa interview and with the Lord's help they successfully got their approval, with no fuss. My dad said the consul only asked them 5 questions and that was it. since i had my husband written down as their host in America and i signed their ds-156 as the person who prepared the form, the questioning went this way:

"CO : who is __________(hubby's name)?

P : our son in law

CO : how come it isnt your daughter who is sponsoring you?

P : she's still here with us in Manila

CO : why isnt she with her husband?

P : they're on the final stage of their spousal petition and is actually going in for her interview at the end of the month.

CO : how many children do you have?

P : 3. 1 girl and 2 boys

CO : and all are in the Philippines?

P : yes.

CO : ok. please give this slip to the delbros counter to arrange for your visa delivery.

P : thank you so much."

Yesterday (1.25.08) their passports arrived. they were given a multiple/10. WOOHOOO!!!!

OMG!!! that was great! thanks for this post coz my mom will be scheduling her interview next week and she might get a slot on March. coz she want to attend our wedding. i'm her only child. she has a good job here that's why she will definitely come back. and she doesn't want to waste her retirement benefits just to stay in the US.

by the way, may i know the purpose of your parents' visit to the US? to attend your wedding? did you present a wedding invitation?

i really pray that my mom will pass her interview.

God bless you on your interview soon.

hi beng, the purpose of my parents visit was just for tourism --- i'm married to mike na. :yes:

oh, one more thing, my parents are both in their 60s and are retirees.

Just a tip though, the fact that you are an only child and getting married and settling in America might raise a red flag, so tell your mom to prepare for this eventuality. Its best if she will gather all evidences, documents or otherwise that would negate the presumption that her intention is to immigrate with you.

Goodluck and God bless your mom's interview!

p.s. Thanks for wishing me well on my interview.

Thanks guys! We were really happy they were able to get a multiple/10. Now we don't need to worry about how they'd get to visit us in the US. As for my interview, I'm really praying that everything will be alright.

Goodluck to both of you on your respective interview dates. May all of us have a hassle free and expeditious visa approval. God Bless!

They both still have work as government employees so im crossing my fingers that they get visas when they get interviewed.

hi honeybear,

since your parents are both government employees, have them secure a permission to travel from their respective agencies in addtion to the requirements posted in the USEM website, this could help establish their strong ties to the Philippines and negate the presumption of intent to immigrate. as to your siblings, if they are adults and working, make sure they have with them their certificate of employment and compensation. It would likewise help if you can have your family travel to at least two countries before they apply for a visa, this is to prove that they do travel but always do come back to the Philippines. i did this with my parents, had them holiday to 3 different south east asian countries before i filled up their visa application.

just a side, an invitation does not always ensure visa issuance. 4 years ago, a friend of mine who was getting married in the US sent her family her wedding invitation as well as her wedding programme, to help her mom and eldest sister secure a tourist visa. her mom was already in her late 80s and her sister had kids, plus they had principal roles in the wedding ceremony, unfortunately they got denied. on the other hand, i know of someone who applied for a tourist visa two years ago for the purpose of attending a friend's wedding. she didn't have any invitation with her, neither did the consul nor the pre-screener ask for it. she was approved for a multiple/5. :)

here's a link to sample questionnaires the consul might ask, i had my parents read through it while i prepped them for their interview. its basically a guide for indian nationals, but i guess it can apply to filipinos as well :yes:http://www.***removed***/visas/visitor/interview.html

Goodluck to your family's tourist visa application and always remember to pray, as mike and i prayed hard for the approval of my parents' visa .

God Bless.

since your parents are both government employees, have them secure a permission to travel from their respective agencies in addtion to the requirements posted in the USEM website, this could help establish their strong ties to the Philippines and negate the presumption of intent to immigrate. as to your siblings, if they are adults and working, make sure they have with them their certificate of employment and compensation. It would likewise help if you can have your family travel to at least two countries before they apply for a visa, this is to prove that they do travel but always do come back to the Philippines. i did this with my parents, had them holiday to 3 different south east asian countries before i filled up their visa application.

just a side, an invitation does not always ensure visa issuance. 4 years ago, a friend of mine who was getting married in the US sent her family her wedding invitation as well as her wedding programme, to help her mom and eldest sister secure a tourist visa. her mom was already in her late 80s and her sister had kids, plus they had principal roles in the wedding ceremony, unfortunately they got denied. on the other hand, i know of someone who applied for a tourist visa two years ago for the purpose of attending a friend's wedding. she didn't have any invitation with her, neither did the consul nor the pre-screener ask for it. she was approved for a multiple/5. :)

here's a link to sample questionnaires the consul might ask, i had my parents read through it while i prepped them for their interview. its basically a guide for indian nationals, but i guess it can apply to filipinos as well :yes:http://www.***removed***/visas/visitor/interview.html

Goodluck to your family's tourist visa application and always remember to pray, as mike and i prayed hard for the approval of my parents' visa .

God Bless.

mabuhay,

We are getting ready to bring my wife's parents over for a visit to see their grandson and ,MAYBE, be here in time for the birth of another grandson. What do you mean by a 10 / multiple visa?

What should be our greatest concern in completing the visa process? Any suggestions in completing the process will be helpful.

THANKS

Jim, Rosemina, baby James and soon to be JOHN
