In reply to zammy. The interview itself was quick, but since there are so many people going through security and all the steps before the interview, it takes about 4 hours.

In reply to Nina Fuentes. How long did it take before it was all over? Did it take hours before you were able to leave and go home?

In reply to Aubrey. It's better if you check the latest list of requirements at the US Embassy website.

In reply to Berna. You can include it, and you can also bring the documents pertaining to your business, just in case they ask for it. But chances are, they will be more interested with your current employment/business.

Hello! I have a question. I had a previous business and didn’t work out, so it was operational for only 3 months. I am deciding if I will indicate it in my previous employment (self-employed). So, my question is, Is it okay if I could only provide (if ask) a DTI registration and Mayor’s Permit, no BIR permit to be specific?

Thank you so much in advance!

In reply to Kath. The ITR I submitted was from the previous year. Since your business is new, just bring your business registration documents

In reply to Dreamer. It's hard to say what your chances are, specially since this is for a US Visa. There are people who have traveled more and have more money in the bank, yet they still got denied.

I have a question, In the past 2 years I travel 18x Internationally and I’ll been in 10 countries already and I will visit Singapore for 2time (19th travel) and 6times in thailand (20th travel), 5days before my interview.

I been in Thailand (5th times), Malaysia (3times), UAE (2times) Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam (2times), Hongkong, Macau, Singapore, Taiwan. (TAKE NOTE IN JUST 2YR & 4months)

also I have unused japan visa (everything is set but I got sick on my travel date so I decided not to go and pursue it next year)

The twist is this:
I’m only 23, SINGLE MAN
I only have around 100k in my bank
I never been employed. I took entreprenerial management in college (graduated 2014) because I don’t have any desired to work in any company or any organization.

after I graduated in college I start – tshirt printing business that run for a year (only barangay permit/ and I lost it already but I have picture of my stall before), then my current business is
computer shop & printing services (register my mayors permit and dti just this june but my barangay permit starter nov. last year NO BIR AS WELL SINCE I ONLY PUT IT IN BARANGAY)
also I sell tour package and discounted airline tickets online.

do you think I have a big chance to get a B2 visa or I will be denied??
I dont havea BIG personal ties in this country but I’ll travel in 10countries already in past 2years without overstay or violating law on that countries.

also “I WILL STAY ON MY AUNT TO LESS MY TRAVEL EXPENSES”

please rate 1-100% on my chance.
PS: I dont have desired to stay for so long in US.
I just want to experience christmas and new year in new jersey and drop ball in new york time square. after than just directly go back to the philippines.

sorry for my grammar
please reply PO NG TOTOONG TINGIN NYO, AT PRANGKAHAN po

thankyou

In reply to Joan. That's sad to hear, Joan. It's really hard to predict the outcome of each application, as it can be dependent on the consul deciding.

Hello Nina,

Unfornately my visa application was denied yesterday. The reason is I have low ties in the Philippines. Since I have no job and no minor kids based on what the officer asked to me. I am really so sad. I like to tell something that I am currently studying and I have my incoming language exam , and me and my fiance have incoming travel travel together this, December , our flight is booked already. But I did not managed it coz she is so quickly to say ” Sorry to disappoint you,… ?.

In reply to Joan M. Vocales. I didn't, but it's a good rule to bring all the documents you can for the interview, because you don't know which documents they will ask for during your interview.

Hello Nina.
Do I need to bring flight reservation during the interview ?
