Hi-

I am currently a 10yr tourist visa holder. I wanted to apply visa for my son. However, i have a pending i-130 petition for immigrant. What are the chances of getting the visa approved? TIA

It is not a chance based process. Only thing we can be certain about is if you do not apply - 0.

you now have 2 different open, you need to not open multiple threads, and allow those to help answer your questions, in your first threat, you have a passport ready to expire, and you have been previously married, you asked about renewing your passport in your married name, however if this is not legally your name anymore you cant leagally renew your passport in that name.

 

@geowrian you are for sure someone that can help answer the OP questions in both threads.

As stated, it's not so much a chance-oriented process so much as to the individual's circumstances.

Getting a tourist visa from the Philippines is normally quite difficult. Obtaining a tourist visa with a pending immigrant petition is also quite difficult.

The only way to know for sure is to spend the $160 and apply.

I got one for my kids while I had a pending I130, but I got called into the consulate to discuss the application (kids were under 14 so interview-exempt, and I already had a valid B visa, it was actually quite scary getting a call summoning me in!!) and only once they were satisfied we weren’t going to illegally stay did they issue the visa. You’ll need to show all the same kind of strong-ties-to-home stuff as if you were applying for a B.

Hi @SusieQQQ - thank you for your reply. Here in the Philippines, a minor is required to be accompanied by one parent. In my case- i am a solo parent and my child is under my custody. So i am expected to accompany my son. Did your interview went well?
