Thanks, can I ask the question, how hard is it for a person to come to the USA for a visit? I mean if they only want to come here to see the sites here in the states.

From what I understand if the person has money in a bank account then they can come to the states for a period of time. I know this person has money in a bank account but has no property or a job, but maybe it is still hard I dont know why though if it is.

it depends if the person can show significant ties to the Philippines. reasons to return home before the visa expires. a tourist visa can be hard to obtain in the Philippines, but not impossible. depends on the individual's circumstances.

Well her parents live there in and she has a a child that lives with her parents. She is renting an apartment. I am not sure how much money she will actually need in her bank account for her to be convincing in her interview if everything else about her situation is convincing in the interview. I was wondering also about how long it takes for the process if she is successful?

this is just an observation, but recent deposits into a bank account would be a red flag to a CO. from the information you provided, it seems unlikely she would be able to get a tourist visa. not sure at the present time what the wait is for a visitors visa.

Best ties are: properties, money in the bank, employment, schooling. Process is just a couple of weeks or less than a month. Quite easy.

Everyone knows its next to impossible to get a nourist visa from the Philippines. Dont waste your time and money trying if you dont own land or a home. Money in the bank will not be enough.
