My Fiancee is waiting for her interview which hopefully will be in the next few months. Our son and I migrated here 6 years ago but she was left at the home country as her visa got expired and upon renewal was denied. After a year she then tried to apply again for a tourist visa and handed all her documents to a travel agent but was denied again. Our problem was, there is a question on the tourist visa application that says "Do you have any relatives in the US" which was checked yes by the agent and listed down her relatives in the US but they didn't include our son which was with me as the travel agent said it will be an automatic visa denial. Our worst fear is, it might come up in the interview. If ever the topic comes up what will be her best answer? We're afraid that telling the truth will not be enough. Does anyone has the same experience? We will greatly appreciate any comments and suggestions.

Thanks a lot...

declaring that you have relatives in the US doesn't really decrease the chances of getting a visa, so it must have been something missing in the required docs or something during the interview that resulted inthe denials...

one question, why did you decide to get a travel agent this time? it's really not a good idea because it brings up a lot of questions about you

it is much easier for her as she won't be traveling back and forth to Manila as she's staying in the province.

Immediate relatives are red flags for a US tourist visa denial if you don't have enough properties to declare to the consulate...that's how it goes in the Philippines and Consulates do admit that...
