Help me out with my interview

[cythn 0]

Hello, I am a 19 years old Filipina and currently studying. I'm planning to visit my boyfriend for a tourist visa this summer. I'm just worried about it because with that reason I might get denied or not? thank you so much for your help. Highly appreciated.

The embassy decides on a case to case basis and how strong your ties are in the Philippines to ensure that you will return back in your country. It all depends on the evidences that you have a strong intention to get back to your country after the trip and the outcome of your interview. 

 

However, seeing that your main reason to go to the US is to visit your bf plus you're a young, single Filipina raises a red flag. Take my word for it. I underwent a tourist visa interview way back 2013. I have strong ties in the Philippines (bank accts, businesses and properties under my name, etc.). The first 10 mins of my interview went well. The interviewer was really nice until we get to the part on the reason why I will the visit US and told him to visit my bf. In an instant, his voice and expression changed. He gave me the blue slip of rejection and never said a word. After a few years, we went to K1 (fiancee) visa route and we had more success with it. The tourist visa rejection was a silver lining when it came to my K1 visa and AOS interview. 

 

It wouldn't hurt to try though to go for an interview albeit the slim chance of acquiring one. There are a lot of couples out here who had successful experiences with the B2 visa too. I suggest ask your bf to visit you in the Philippines as well. Good luck!
