Ok,

This thread http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...=97497&st=0

talks about how the Manila US Embassy has some kind of issue when folks need Co=Sponsors!

This stuff got people freaked out and it needs to end!

Apparently some1 in the past had a virtual (VIRTUAL!!) interview at Davao and the Consul did not accept the Co-Sponsorship for whatever reason.

Now, I dont know the details about this so SOMEBODY PLEASE speak on this.

What I do know is simple:

The USEM in Manila is the UNITED STATES EMBASSY...That means that it follows the same U.S. laws and rules and regulations as any other US Embassy around the world. There are no special rules about Co-sponsorship in Manila as far as I know and it would be ridiculous!

It is a US Embassy, not a local public office of the host country. The Consul cannot decide at his or her convenience when and when not to accept a Co-Sponsor.

They CAN deny or freeze a Visa when they suspect foul play and there is some sort of evidence to support the claim.

You are not at the Consul's mercy! You haven't done anything wrong!

The U.S. is not the country it used to be, but certain things still stand.

Do your homework and be honest and you have nothing to fear at your interview. Yes, of course everyone gets nervous and worries, but there is no need to be scared.

Thanx and good luck to everybody at their interviews!

Well I had a co sponsor and the pre screener really said it will depend on the consuls decision but when I was in my final interview the CO didn't even mention anything about co sponsorship! I successfully passed with just one question and I am now here in the US.

I think what you are referring to was a chat session. I did not see where a CO say cosponsors will not be accepted. I did find this;

USER Asked: jogie: Good Day My fiancé’s income did not meet the required income, so is it ok if we will use a co-sponsor? It will be his parents though.

CONSUL: We normally do not require co-sponsors. But it really depends on the interview, if the consular officer concludes that your fiancé will not become a public charge then your petitioner’s inability to present sufficient income will not be grounds for refusals.
