Hello everyone, After over a year of waiting for the interview, my mom's visa got denied with 214g. She was asked 3 questions, what does she do, who will pay, and how long will she stay. Mom is over 60 year old. She answered that she works for the first question. My siblings and the entire family is still in the Philippines. She also cannot immigrate because her pension requires her to renew every year. Will it hurt if she re-applies immediately? Or that doesn't matter? Do you have any tips to increase her chances of getting approved? After the denial, I started thinking of the factors that could have affected, such as the time of the interview, etc. Thanks!!

Good day, My mother applied for a tourist visa in December 2021. Unfortunately, due to backlog, her interview is not until January 2023. Based on the site https://ph.usembassy.gov/important-visa-information/#interview she needs a current DS-160 form within a year. Since there was a backlog with interviews, does she needs to fill out a new DS-160? Per this site, https://ph.usembassy.gov/visa-update-consular-operations-visas-as-of-june-2022/ the MVR is extended until September 2023. Questions: 1. Does she needs to fill out the DS-160 again? 2. If she does, how can she associate her new DS-160 with her MVR? 3. We are asking because the last time we help her apply, after submitting the DS-160, the system asked for payment and the form will only be valid if paid in time and associated to the DS-160 Confirmation id. I appreciate any help on this one. Have a great day and take care!

Yes, they were whitewashed. They owe the Ph and the US government unpaid taxes. I would not fault the son of the sins of the father but he never acknowledged that his dad did anything wrong. What they say the good ol days is probably just for the people in their region.

OMG! That is the other way around. That's very unfortunate! You and me both! Unless there is any cheating happened. Those who voted were whitewashed.

I am a Filipina. A couple of things, either she doesn't really want to be with you or she needs help. If I were in your situation, I would ask if she wants to go to therapy to try and fix things. If she declines, then it's time to let go. I'm sorry to hear about your situation. But it's not worth holding on to something that you are the only one fighting. Good luck!

Thanks, Boiler. I was hoping she can get an interview in Tagalog.

I had my mom applied for the tourist visa in Dec and the interview is not until next year. I had to resched it a couple of times to get a sooner date which ended up in Jan. I agree with the others. We will only know if they will get approved if they applied. A couple of friends had their parents applied. One of them has parents over 60 and they were both approved. One set of parents are over 50 and they were both denied.

Good day, My mom will have her visa interview next year. I am trying to prepare her for questions that may be asked on the interview. She doesn't speak fluent English. She understand a little and she can get very forgetful. What are the common questions asked to parents applying B2 in the US Embassy Manila? I know some like, how many kids, her work, who is she visiting. Her shop is in the house the Philippines, but a typical shop that doesn't have a name. Any help is appreciated!
