Shadow Moon

@Boiler My father returned in the Philippines long time I ago I didnt followed him I only went back for vacation. I didnt apply for american citizen because at that time I  didnt take that seriously espacially its not really a law for me to be an american citizen ryt away

@Boiler I got it through  my father who is the american citizen and Ive been living  15 yrs in America. Not getting any property or bank accounts are strictly my prerogative I dont have any Intentions to stay here that long ever since so I didnt bother getting those stuff

@Calicolom I don't know where you from but in the Philippines it is different.

@jan22 there are no other family members my brother is also ill and he wont do such a thing. I think if ever a parent got sick it should the responsibility of children. That is the tradition in my country. The tradition I grew up with. As far as trust with other people to take care my father? well I have to comfortable and trust them, this is my father we are talking about. If trust is not a factor I could've just bail any prisoner and just pay him to take care of my dad then, I have to trust and be comfortable with the person who will take care of my father. Other wise if anything happens to my father I will end up having multiple trips back and fourth in Manila. We don't have caregivers in the Philippines. If so that I may not know off, its very dangerous. I am the Philippines people, It is different here. For the financial aspect, I didn't work for my first yr being here in the Philippines. I started two yrs after. So you are telling me not to work, and just rely on someone else to help me survive? then how am I suppose to save my money to get back in the US? I don't see any logic on that at all. My son is with his mother me and his mother dont have any court order child support, but whatever I have here I give him. Again, i dont know where you from exactly, but Im in the Philippines and it is different here. But thank you so much you are actually opening my eyes and making me see the angles that I havent seen before. If I didn't stay My father may have been dead. He has a Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease at his age he anything can happen. So if that happens then what kind of a son am I? I am working enjoying the US benifits while my dad is suffering in the death bed and now he is dead and I choose not to take care of him? dont make sense for a human behavior point of view

@Lucky Cat For the Notarized letter, it does certifies the signature of the person who signed it thus the person has to give the honest statement in that letter otherwise they can be legally in trouble as Ive been explaine by the lawyer in the Philippines

@Lucky Cat there is one particular message I've sent through the facebook page of the US Embassy in Manila but they didn't responded back. This happened I believe  back in 2018. Other than that no, cause I was worried about my dads condition. Pretty much I am focus on his well being.

@Lucky Cat I don't have a bank account even when I was in america. I only have a prepaid credit card. Well that is my only communication is my child and some few close friends

@Boiler I am working here in the Philippines to support my self and to support my plans going back in the US. I wasnt able to file taxes after 2016 because I am outside the US I dont have my w2 form here

@Lucky Cat Yes, I have to support myself

The purpose of this post is for me to get an over view of things.  Also, when I left for vacation I was still employed. It was while I was outside the US passed my 1 month vacation period that they terminated me.

@milimelo I filled my taxes in the 2016 tax season. However, when I went out for my vacation I didn't file for anything because I don't have any properties in the US. I only filled my W2 form before I left.

@Lucky Cat Before I took my supposedly 1 month vacation, I renewed my green card. This is a month before I took my vacation. Will that helps?

@arken  I can, as i said I can get letter from the doctor, medical records and medical abstract. The letters from witnesses are just to make it more compelling. and additional to that the letters would be notarized by a lawyer so it is legit in all legal aspect.

@Boiler My 15 yr old my son, No wife ex gf only. 

the letters from families and friends are only statement from  eye witnesses

@Dashinka Well, that's what I've been doing is to hear other people stories and maybe know their opinions. I mean I think my situation is beyond my control because I don't want to stay this long but I need too, for my father. I want to know what other people thinks about my chances. I just turned 4 yrs last march, I could've spoke ti the US Embassy in Manila, but we are having a lockdown.

I am planning to also apply for an SB1 visa but can anybody help me not professionally, but just to hear other people's opinion I was gone out of the US for about 4 yrs now ( Since 2016) and the reason behind it was because I was taking care of my father who is ill and currently staying in the Philippines. supposedly, I was only going to take a 1 month vacation. I didnt know about the illness of my father to that extent not until when I came back and my stepmom vented out on me I know he is living with my stepmom but I didn't really trust her at that time. Considering the fact that I've only met her once. My dad is a 70+ yr old man at the time that he got diagnosed with COPD. His health has been fragile before and even when he got diagnosed.  It took me that long outside the US because it is not easy to convince my dad to see a professional doctor and not just an internal medicine walked-clinic and to find someone who can also help him and my step in case of emergency.  I don't want to stay that long, but I need too. Now, I want to go back in the US because I need too. It's for my 15 yr old son. With the doctor's letter, medical records and abstract, with letters from families and friends who witnessed me taking care of my dad ( Of course all these letters will be notarized by a lawyer ) plus my round-trip ticket (because I was supposed to stay only for 1 month) and my ties to the US which is my son. I don't have any properties there. So can someone advised me what the chances that my SB1 be approved?  Do you consider my situation as " Beyond my Control "
