Yes I see... it’s very cynical, but I understand. So how do you overcome that and get the visa? That’s the challenge and no one has really provided me with any viable soultion. Perhaps because there isn’t one....

If you can figure out that solution you'll end up being the richest man on Earth!

They could also be thinking that "assisting you through your recovery" could be classed as work and not allowed as a tourist.

You're right. It is guilty until proven innocent.   And how do you think being aggressive will help the situation? If someone came up to you and started being pushy and aggressive while aski

So your suggestion is just it give up? 

If she needs to be along my suggestion is to get treated somewhere else, save some money as well.

The ex pats that I have seen have success in getting tourist visas for the girlfriends .  They got married and after they went thru all the hassles to get a greencard.  She would hand over the greencard to the US embassy in Manila.  And later on they were granted  a Tourist Visa to come to USA.

 

Long drawn out process just for a tourist visa

Marriage not an option. Neither is having the surgery elsewhere. Is a complicated procedure which can’t be done in the Philippines. I have family, brother and his wife, in the US where I’m having surgery so she would be staying at thier House. 

 

Rather discouraging reading through all these posts.

There is a whole world out there outside PI and USA.

Not when you are relying on medical

insurance to foot the bill and you need a place to stay for a 2-3 week recovery before you can fly home.

 

Nothing is easy in in this world....

I am surprised PI Medical Insurance would cover US treatment. UK insurance certainly would not.
