Hello, I'm inquiring about getting a possibility of getting approved for tourist visa.

My cousin invited me to her wedding and she mailed the documents needed.

I'm a nurse here in the Philippines and working in a clinic.

I'm single and no kids. Haven't been in other countries (No travel History)

I know that ITR (Income Tax Return) is needed for documents processing but I dont have a yearly payment for it because I earned a minimum wage.

Is there any chance of getting approved? I'm baffled about the procedures and requirements to be shown at US Embassy.

I've been reading related post so I have an insight for the processing.

Thank you. I hope you can help me.

Hello Vanie,

For the last 22 years, I have already observed so many friends and relatives applying for a Tourist visa, so I already have an idea on how an individual can be granted a Non-immigrant visa. I am sorry but based on the information that you have provided, your chance for a tourist visa approval is very low, however, if you can manage and able to risk the visa application fee, you can try, schedule and experience a visa application interview at US embassy. Just make sure to do a research on what documents to bring and learn from past interview experiences of other members posted in this forum.

If in case you want to go for it: At the interview, the IO will ask you why are you applying for a B1/B2 visa (reasons}?; What is your current job and how long you have been working; If your single or have a family: If you have any business; so on and so forth. The bottom line is, they will assess you if you have a very strong ties in the Philippines or reasons that you will go back home. If you can satisfy this, you have a chance but other than this, it will just be pure luck and depending on the mood of the IO that will "interrogate" you. Goodluck on your decision.

They might be wondering how someone on minimum wage in PI which I guess is not very much, can afford a trip to the US.

Sure leave and re enter.

Visa is an entry document.

I do not remember the details of what you can and can not do on a C/D, but if that is the one you need to have status on then that is the one you need to seek entry on.
