i have some questions, i hope anyone here can help me

*about visa

1. i got approved in my interview, how can i track air21 re garding if my visa is ready for delivery. You can track it on air21's website but ony once they get it from the embassy. 2.

2. does air21 deliver visa on sunday? no sure. they do on Saturdays

3. what is the average waiting period for visa to get at your door? Seems like is about 2-3 days once Air21 gets it. total time seems to be about a week.

*about AOS

1. im starting to pack my things, im just wondering what are the documents i need to bring that i will use in filling for AOS. Bring your birth cert, passport which you will need anyway. Also it is cheaper to get US VIsa photos in phil go get at least 4 of them.

*about POE

1. my port of entry will be in CHICAGO, my fiance told me that when i reach chicago i need to get my luggage and fall in line in the immigration is it true? Correct.

2. anyone here who experienced chicago as their POE. pls share your experience to me. Did you check the Reviews for POE above?

*about E-tickets

1.my fiance booked me a ticket using my mother in law credit card. do i need to bring a copy of my mother in law credit card and id's to show at the airport? Some airlines will want it so it does bring it.

*last ques

1. where will i see info on how to apply for tourist visa in usa? Not sure what your asking for You will have a visa to go anywhere in the US or do you mean how do you get someone a tourist visa to come to the US to see you? If that is the case look on the USEM website for non-immigration visas.

guys thank you ha. censya na kung ang kulit ko hehehe toxic kasi ako dame ko worries nagstart na kasi countdown ko eh.

godbless you all!!!

Be ready to pay the P750 terminal fee and the P1620 travel fee if you havent already.

*about AOS

1. im starting to pack my things, im just wondering what are the documents i need to bring that i will use in filling for AOS

Bring NSO BC, medical record at SLEC and proofs of genuine relationship. In addition, I would suggest for you to bring all your school credentials and work credentials as you might need it in applying for a job here.

*about POE

1. my port of entry will be in CHICAGO, my fiance told me that when i reach chicago i need to get my luggage and fall in line in the immigration is it true? My POE was Chicago O'hare and yes, you need to be interviewed first by the immigration officer. Mine took less than 5 mins. then after that you need to get your luggages. Don't forget to bring your yellow/brown envelope.

2. anyone here who experienced chicago as their POE. pls share your experience to me.

uuuummmm????????

alot of requirements................

Visitor Visas

Tourist Visa (B2)

Business Visa (B1)

Transit Visa (C1)

Student Visa (F1)

1. Tourist Visa (B2)

US Embassy officers automatically assume every tourist visa applicant intends to stay in the US permanently and therefore applicants must prove the following:

Strong business, social and/or family connections to their home country;

Legitimate travel purpose; and

Financial ability to pay for travel expenses.

Generally, the most important factors in judging an applicant's chances of approval are as follows:

Long term job or well documented successful business; and

Documented consistent high level of income.

However, US Embassy officers examine each applicant’s case individually with the main focus on the background of the individual applicant. Application form answers, supporting documentation and performance during the interview are all also important factors in the visa being approved.

US Embassy officers have very broad discretion to accept or reject an applicant’s case for a variety of reasons. Generally, B2 visas have the lowest approval rates because of the short time period required to apply.

Specifically, B2 tourist visas for students, wives, husbands, fiancés, fiancées, girlfriends and boyfriends are difficult to get approved due to loopholes in US immigration laws allowing persons to stay permanently in the US after arrival if they marry a US citizen.

It is highly recommended that applicants do not make any large transactions in or out of their bank account prior to the interview at the US Embassy. The US Embassy officers will focus on long term and consistent financial transaction history of the applicant’s bank account and not on large recent financial transactions. Generally, the balance amount of the applicant’s bank statement should be enough to cover their travel expenses for the duration of the visit to the US unless such expenses are being paid by a sponsor.

Applicants with a strong command of the English language normally have higher rates of approval because of the necessity to speak English while in the US.

Our service includes the following:

Provide free initial opinion of applicant’s chances for approval;

Schedule interview with US Embassy;

Provide list of supporting documents in English tailored to your case;

Prepare necessary supporting documents;

Consult in regards to answers to questions on application documents;

Prepare application forms signed by lawyer;

Telephone or video conference to discuss supporting documents and answers in regards to potential US Embassy officer interview questions; and

Assistance preparing a 2nd visa application if the 1st visa application is not approved.

B2 visa applications normally take 1 - 3 weeks to process depending on the caseload of the US Embassy in the country of residence.

2. Business Visa (B1)

The requirements, service and timeframe for a B1 business visa is similar to that of a tourist visa except you must prove a legitimate business travel purpose.

3. Transit Visa (C1)

The requirements, service and timeframe for a C1 transit visa are similar to that of a tourist / business visa except you must also prove flight reservations to a foreign country and a valid visa for that foreign country.

4. Student Visa (F1)

Applicants must first apply to a qualified school in the US and get accepted. The school will send the “Form I-20” after the applicant is accepted. Form I-20 is a confirmation form for foreign students, which includes a summary of estimated costs per year for attending the school.

Applicants can apply for a F1 visa after receiving the Form I-20 from their school and paying the US $100 SEVIS fee.

Applicants must prove they or their sponsors have enough funds to cover their education / living expenses in the US and a strong intent to return to their home country.

Normally, the sponsor of a F1 visa should be an immediate family member such as parents, brother / sister or other family members. Applicant’s cases will be scrutinized more closely by US Embassy officers if their sponsor is not a family member due to the high number of applicants attempting to commit student visa fraud.

Bartikicks- thanks.

you know guys my fiance got me etickets sa expedia site. and since kunti na alng yung seats sobrang mahal then plus the tax and he paid fee for paper ticket. i thought i wil just need to ptin the email ticket and can show it in tha airport but my fiance told me yesterday that my paper ticket and boarding pass were on its way na he sent it via fedex, so ayun totally ang mahal mahal ng ticket sana nga dito na alng ako sa pinas kumuha ng ticket.

anyway im taking PAL its my first time to travel outside asia, tama ba 50lbs/23kgs per check inn baggage then one hand carry na below 40pounds then one personal bag. tapos kasi pag asia lang usually 2 hours before the flight, one time nga an hour before the flight na try ko na eh. muntik na kame maiwan ng eroplano hehehehe so pag international outside asia di ba 4-3 hours before the flight dapat dun ka na.

thanks sanyo' just sharing...
