Tourist Visa to see and meet his "baby"

[iamjemaeden 0]

Hi! I have a situation here.

Lately, i and my ex re connected again through facebook. For like 2 years plus, we didnt had any communications. And he only saw our child once. And that was a long time ago. Our baby was only 6 months old that time as far as i could remember. That was the first and the last time. And we decided to cut our ties and connection with each other. So since then we didn't have any communications anymore. It was fine with me to not have any communications with him anymore since he didn't even support financially or even emotionally.

So now that we reconnected again, he learned that we are not in the US with our daughter who is now 3years and 2mos old. We didnt get back together, since i am committed with other guy. But he is still single (as he is claiming it to be). But we agreed to remain good friends and would try to develop and maintain a healthy relationship as friends for the sake of our daughter.

So now, he is planning to visit the US and apply for a tourist visa by May or June or somewhere this year. His main purpose to visit the US is to see and meet our daughter once again since he have not seen our daughter for quite a long time. He wants to spend some quality time with our daughter that he regrets for not doing it while we were still in the Philippines. He is planning to stay for a month to 45 days. And after he would go back to the Philippines.

My question is, is the chance higher or lower to be approved for a tourist visa with his intent in visiting the US? Would it be a factor that he is only 22 years old by the time that he would apply for a tourist visa? And also would it be enough if he would only show his certificate of employment and joint back account (him and his mom) with atleast 250,000-500,000 pesos and nothing else such as property titles, SSS, income tax and anything like that? Please do help me.

And advise me on what to do.

I also want my daughter to meet her father since she is looking for her real that. And for a mother like me it is also my joy and happiness to see my daughter happy. Thank you for all who would help me.

Sorry for the confusion..

He learned that we are now in the US now.

He does not sound like an obvious candidate. Let us know how he gets on.

PS at least you know where he is and that he has money so you can get child support.

What are the possible reasons so he would be able to be approved for a tourist visa.

Welcome to the forum.

He will have to prove to the satisfaction of the US consular official at the interviewing US embassy/consulate, that he has significant ties to the Philippines such that they would return to the Philippines after their US visit is completed. Such ties could include, property, house ownership, current stable employment, etc. Each visitor visa applicant is presumed to have immigration intent, and must prove that they are not trying to immigrate to the US. A letter from a doctor, any documents from you, or any other invitation-type letter would likely have no positive effect on the visitor visa approval.

Good luck.

Well, he has a stable job in the Philippines though.. And i am not planning to send sponsorship to him. We have just moved here in the US thats why we cannot go back to the Philippines this early just to let him meet our daughter.

FYI

I have never seen court ordered Child Support in Philippines. As a rule once a girl gets pregnant and the boyfriend runs away, it is up to the girl and her family to raise and support the family. Lots of single mothers raising kids in Philippines.
