Interesting....If they usually don't look at any supporting document, then how do they determine eligibility well? For example, my in-laws have jobs and own property. How would they know for example that they have 2 small properties to take care of that tie them to Russia if they don't look at the documentation?

You are making this more complicated than it needs to be, it's a very simple process.

Get them to apply ASAP, there is no benefit to waiting. They fill out the DS160. They go to the interview and answer any questions. Done.

You should probably search the meaning of the word reciprocity if you don't know the definition.

Sounds like they think he did not follow the instructions for the document needed in his country? Did he apply for the certificate like it says to do on that page?

Help you with what? You were refused at the interview and the status online says you have been refused.. seems pretty self explanatory.

She should be prepared to be denied entry and sent back on the next plane home and rightly so.

She is basically using a tourist visa to live and work in the USA.

He needs a valid Peruvian passport to use the one in his previous expired passport.

Or he needs a new visa in his Mexican passport.

His previous travel was not a small difference but a very big difference as mentioned in previous post.

There is no petitioning or sponsorship for a tourist visa.

No documents are required, everything is in the DS160.

He needs to show strong ties to the Philippines. What ties does he have?

It sounds like he has family in the US?

Edit// from your previous posts you adjusted status, you are in the process of bringing over your parents to live in the US, and your nephew just wants to 'visit'? Yea ok... I would expect a swift denial for your nephew, there is no way the CO will believe he won't overstay.

Residency, work permit and address

Those are not very strong ties. What about a job? Family?

No documents are required for a B2 visa application. Police report is also not required.

Information on the DS160 will be used to decide whether to grant the visa or not, as well as the answers to the questions at the interview, not pieces of paper.

What ties does he have to the UK? 

Zero hope, this is one of those cases where it's better not to waste the application fee.

A waiver is not guaranteed, it depends on the local consulate where you are applying. You say you are staying in Bahrain, I'm assuming you are planning to apply there? Unless you are a legal permanent resident there then highly doubt you will get an interview waiver.

Nobody knows whether they will ask for more information - you need to apply and find out. Take whatever documents you think may be needed at the interview - but don't expect to be asked for them, I certainly wasn't.

Oh,didn’t know that ,already created  a new ds 160 and submitted it 

You said your original interview next week is still with the original DS160? So use that at the interview as it's already linked.

It was an error in my work dates

No need for a new DS160, just let them know the correct details at the interview.

What is this error?

Yesterday my fiancé was approved for her K1 by the US Embassy here in Manila. I had what can only be described as the most anxious day of my life, with every minute waiting outside the Embassy increasing said anxiety. When she walked out smiling I knew she was approved and all of that minute-by-minute anxiety that had climbed to my shoulders vanished in the blink of an eye. Needless to say the rest of yesterday was a delightful feeling of floating. My finance and I decided to talk about and gather the final details of the CFO "guidance program" the next day. 

 

Today is that next day. A few months ago we had a meeting with RapidVisa, the company I paid to help us with the paperwork, and during the meeting the CFO was discussed, but only lightly because the agent made us feel as though it is just a formal program that will not have any real impact on the process. Plus with the verbiage for the name of the program, it seemed logical that it was a nice process designed to educate and help exiting Filipinos. Much to my dismay however, the CFO is anything but all of that. While it may cover some of those logical points, it appears to be just one more way the Philippines puts up walls for their people. Walls designed to make life difficult and discourage people from trying to leave the country. Don't get me wrong, I value and respect the spirit of the description that the CFO program portrays itself as being. Any country like the Philippines is going to have people who are being taken advantage of, and having a program that creates an environment where they can voice their concerns is going to benefit the country as a whole. BUT, and this is a GIANT BIG BUT... The CFO program in the Philippines is NOT this at all. You can tell based on the list of requirements, the comments in threads like this above mine here and other places, that it is designed to be a WALL. A wall that discourages people, that puts one more potential denial in the face of any prior work. My fiancé, as have countless others, has demonstrated her desire to leave the Philippines with me, her petitioner, and after all of the work we both have done and the pages upon pages of documents, as well as numerous interviews with authorized agents, there should be ZERO question about the authenticity of our relationship, my legal status, my lack of criminal history and much more that this program seeks to vet out one last time. The US State Dept already conducted a thorough background check of myself and my fiancé , so the CFO "counselor" has NO business engaging in requesting more information regarding any of these things. 

 

I am sickened to learn how this program could very well be something that further delays my fiancé exiting her "FREE COUNTRY" (really?) to start her life in the USA. The Philippines authorities should be ashamed of what they have created. If they wanted to build a program to COUNSEL, it would do that and ONLY that. They would not require additional documents, or ANY documents for that matter. A valid ID is all that should be required and a verbal or written statement from the person wishing to exit stating as much. Then there would be a short orientation explaining the immigration process to the destination country followed up with optional counseling. 

 

I have no idea what can be done, if anything, to encourage the Philippines to either scrub the CFO program and build a new one, or rebuild what already exists, but having lived her since January of 2023 I have witnessed several instances where nationals are employed to be "secret police" so-to-speak, and IMHO it hints at the country not really be as FREE as one might expect for a free democracy. After she completes this process, no matter what hell, if any, they put her through, I am determined to create content that will bring more awareness to this and other issues that are holding the country back. 

 

Thanks for reading and I hope you and everyone else who has to go through this program is able to navigate the process and have the life you seek to achieve. 

What a clueless post. Typical American entitled attitude, nothing new.

You claim to be in the PH since January but I very much doubt it. If you did you would know the situation for most people in PH, and how a lot of them would believe/do anything if it meant there was a chance to support their family, including going abroad.

The fact it inconveniences you personally is a very selfish attitude, CFO is there as an extra layer of security to ensure those going abroad will not end up in any harm. If just one person is saved then it's worth it for everyone to spend time and money to get it.

Not to mention CFO is very easy as well as fast to get. Is it perfect? No, but it's certainly not the overly dramatic worst thing in the world like you imply.

If you don't like the laws of the country you are in then maybe go back to your precious USA, I don't you will be missed with your attitude.

they do ask who's paying and where is money coming from in many of the high fraud embassies  as  a CO would ask this poster who i believe from other posts is from Pakistan

Additional Documentation May Be Required

Review the instructions for how to apply for a visa on the website of the U.S. Embassy or Consulate where you will apply. Additional documents may be requested to establish if you are qualified. For example, additional requested documents may include evidence of:

• The purpose of your trip,
• Your intent to depart the United States after your trip, and/or
• Your ability to pay all costs of the trip. 

Ability to pay all costs is related to the applicants job/salary, it has nothing to do with amount of money in the bank account.

What country are you from? That is an important factor you have not mentioned.

You appear to have very weak ties regardless, no surprise you were denied.

I'm assuming you have already met previously and this is not the first time meeting?

At her interview when asked the purpose of her visit, make sure she tells the truth, which is to get married, not just to visit.

Getting married to you is a negative for her application. You are focusing too much on yourself, her application has nothing to do with you.

She needs to show strong ties to her home country, why she will return, such as employment. What ties did she show? 

Stamp means nothing. Always go by online i94

Why are you checking an application when all you have done is fill out the DS160 and haven't even gone to the interview yet? What are you expecting to see?

I'm assuming the question you are referring to is about having stayed in the US longer than the admission period granted to you. ESTA will most likely be denied, so B2 will be your option left.

Nothing to do with luck, he was rightly denied.

If he can't afford a holiday then his job is not much of a tie.

When I applied and got my B2 visa as a 3rd country citizen in the UK, a colleague of mine who had the exact same job and exact same salary was denied at the same time. Only difference was I had a European (non VWP) passport and he had a Nigerian passport...

You won't be getting approved with that family history, save your money and don't even apply, this is one of those moments where it's not even worth wasting the application fee.
