I think they were inquiring about non-immigrant tourist visas.

I didn't see anything in the post that asked about immigrant visas

Wow, I'm just simply suggesting. Some people are just simply too technical...So much for an effort to help someone

My wife's parents are from the Philippines and they are very poor. We would like to try to get them travel visas to visit us here in the US. I am curious whether anyone has successfully received a tourist visa from the Philippines to visit their family in the US. If so, what advice would give us? thank you!!!

Poor and from the Philippines?

My advice: Don't waste time and money applying for a tourist visa because it's never going to happen.

just wait for your wife to become US citizen and then she could apply for I-130

More advice: This is a good idea because it's the only way they are going to visit you.

I believe for the Philippines, they would need the equivalent to $50k in the PNB and a house and property. I mean a house, not a shack. I agree with Tahoma. If they aren't coming here permanently (as what would happen on the I-130 for relatives), then it be a waste. If you are willing to spend $ for tix for them to visit here, why won't you spend the same $ to fly yourself and your wife there for a visit?

Of course we will spend the same amount of money to go and visit them, but we also think it would be nice for them to come here and visit. Wouldn't you like to go and visit a new place?
