Hi everyone! I just want to share a very wonderful good news that my tourist visa application was approved today. My husband and I are rejoicing for this very wonderful blessing to both of us. I was denied last year and we thought of trying again this year.

The CO just asked few questions mostly about my husband. I just answered correctly, concisely, politely, and honestly. She didn't look at my prepared documents but it's just fine, the important thing is I was granted a visa after my second attempt.

God bless everyone!

Just curious and uneducated in the matter. But why a tourist visa if you are already married?

No worries, most of us are all learning.

The OP could be going through the CR1\IR1 process (married visa) as ooposed to the K1 (fiance visa).

Unfortunately even if you are married you still need to go through a process with USCIS to immigrate.

So OP seems to have the opportunity to visit the immigration visa is being processed.

Hi there! We are not intending to stay in the US due to my husband's work outside the US that is why I just applied for a Tourist Visa so I can visit his place and meet his family and friends for the first time.

Thanks everyone! My husband's work is outside the US and staying in the Philippines is the best option for us so we can see each other more often as he is stationed somewhere closed to the Philippines. I just want to visit his place and meet his family and friends for the first time during his approved leave at the end of this year. Thanks everyone!
