Assuming you are single, this will be strong negative 

 

>> fully fund your trip

People who a relatively low income, especially compared to USA standards generally don't spend most of their life savings to make a short trip to visit their friends. So you will need far more than just being able to afford the trip such to make it OBVIOUS you have no need to work or stay in usa.

 

>> Freelance

So you job is flexible and you could adjust yourself and work in the usa

 

>> Take chemotherapy

So you are likely to find better doctors and medical care and then will want to stay in the usa, and/or have massive unpaid hospital bills

 

>> visit relatives and friends

Strong ties to the USA, and if any of them overstayed, etc... then....

 

:>> Documentation

They don't go by documentation.

 

They will use common sense based on the above and deny you very quickly.

Then you will have a visa denial on your immigration record forever, and if you ever decide to apply for a tourist visa to a country like Canada, that will base the decision on documentation you will need to declare the denial and it will hurt your case, and possibly future usa visa interviews, depending on exactly what you say or exxagerate.   And every word you said will be in your history forever. 

 

Feel free to try, but you had better be super honest as they will know if you are misrepresenting, and just know you are extremely, close to zero chance of getting a visa, unless you have  major very high revenue job, house, immediate family, and it is extemely evident by your job, income, savings, that you have no reasons to stay or work in the usa. of course, thats just my opinion and based on a lot of personal experience with the usa embassy in the Philippines, so you can believe someone more optimistic than me and give it a try.  

 

 

> my relatives are US citizens now. none of them overstayed and they are working prominent fields. 

will this help my case in visiting them? i honestly don't want to overstay and genuinely just wanna visit since i recovered from cancer. 

> all my health bills are paid. i'm just currently being observed as leukemia needs constant monitoring, but i'm in remission status for almost a year. 

>will showing a hefty bank account be enough to show them that i can support myself?

Do u own property in Philippines?

Do u have family here in the US?

Are any of the friends a possible suitor?

i don't own a property in the philippines. my parents does, though! 

> we have relatives in the US, yes. but they are living decent jobs and even one of them is a doctor. 

> no they're not suitors, she is just my best friend who i haven't met in person for a while who helped me during cancer.

You missed the most important part of the equation - what country are you from?

i'm from the philippines! lol sorry it's my first time asking questions on a forum like this. 

hello! I'm 26F, and i've been wanting to visit my friends and relatives in US for quite some time now. 

I can fully fund my trip and my expenses, however i work freelance because i'm currently taking oral chemotherapy medications. 

Are my monthly doctor's appointments enough for the embassy to believe that i won't overstay in the US? 

What other documentations do i need to bring to support my application?

Thank you!
