Send CR130 and K3 does it ok to file tourist visa?

[Ness and Keith 0]

Hi co-members,

I just want to ask this:

Does it OK to file US tourist visa here in the Philippines while waiting for the approval of my immigrant visa and K3? Does this not result any complication in the future? or does it has a big chance that the tourist visa will be approved? Provided that we have a pending visa application.

or it may just a waste of money and time filling tourist?

Your inputs to this query will highly be appreciated.

Thank you.

ness ,

at max if u get a tourist visa it will be off 6 weeks

i advice u not to leave your country unless very urgent like some exams or really important urgency

they give tourist visas only with firm basis and strong with the hanging petitions

and u must at any time come back on the time limit they provide if u take tourist visa

else

your immigration can be of trouble,

even if u get a rejection while applying for tourist visa it can affect your petition later at interview stage ,

good luck ,

When it comes to PI, there is a 90% denial rate. Back then when they were issued tourist visas, most of them never came back home. US embassy is very strict this time around.

thats true

but i have seen cases in my country getting approval but my collegues had exams so they were given

in other cases 90 % visas are denied and denial has bad impact on the interview for sure

i did a lot of counselling with my visa counsellor for the visitor visa

same to you ness

have a great evening

It is virtually impossible for a Filipino to get a tourist visa to the U.S. unless they have "significant" assets ($$$$$) invested within the Philippines - the reason? - Filipinos historically have gone "TNT" in the U.S. after arrival as a "tourist".

Same for Colombians. My cousin went this morning with a good list of personal assets and nice letters from his employer and was flat out denied.

What's "TNT"? I've never seen that before...

What's "TNT"? I've never seen that before...

It's apparently an acronym for a Filipino phrase.......which is Tago Ng Tago........and it means "illegal alien who is in hiding".

I was curious after reading this thread and looked it up.

Here ya go. It's the 6th acronym on the list. http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/Tago...o+is+in+hiding)
