Fiance visit the US from Philippines

[Chris and Liz 0]

I have been waiting for what seems like a lifetime for my NOA2. Does anyone know if my fiance (from the Philippines) come here to the US and visit me? And if so how long does it take for her vacation visa to be approved?

[Fight for Love 98]

well she could try but not guarantee to get approved

It is very difficult for her to get a tourist visa.

You can always read the stickie at the top of the forum page: "Yes, you can visit!" for more information. However, previous responses are pretty spot on.

1)Yes she can visit.

2)She has to apply for a B1/B2 visa (used for business & pleasure) and she will be approved/denied (typically on spot) based on her ties (property ownership, type of occupation etc).

3)Since your fiance has already got a K1 petition pending she has already shown immigrant intent (will not return home) so it will be quite difficult for her to get a tourist visa.

If she is denied why not meet her in a country that doesn't require a visa from her and have a real vacation?

Gowon dreams of a day like these:

CO: Good morning, how can I help you.

Beautiful Significant Other (BSO): I am here to get a tourist visa to go and see my Most Beautiful Fiance/Fiancee (MBF).

CO: Excellent. I can see here on my computer that your MBF has a NOA1 here, and we have all his life history and yours and all sorts of good stuff and things.

BSO: Yes you do, yes you do.

CO: Most excellent. So per USC 765X345..673450 version 6745, I am going to automatically approve you for a X2 visa to go and see your MBF for six months.

BSO: Smashing pumpkins, most excellent I daresay.

CO: Just to let you know, you will have to leave these United States in six months, no extension of this visa is allowed, no adjustment of this visa is allowed, upon approval of your petition you must come back to this country to get your embassy processing. We have a crack team of retired Marines who have reenlisted and their sole goal in life now is to track down AWS (Aliens Without Status). They are like bounty hunters and they are very effective.Oh by the way no silly VAWA stuff. If VAWA occurs then you will have to come back to your country to file the claim, I mean why stay in the country of someone abusing you right?

BSO: Fabulous, BSO will be most pleased. Don't worry if MBF happens to be a skanky perv, I'll be coming hoem as soon as the return plane is fueled.

CO: Immensely excellent, cool beans actually. Yeah, it will also help the USA government in the long run so that BSOs and MBFs can put in some seat time to check stuff out in the home tuff. VAWA stuff have gone down 75% since crazy lunatic USC and opportunistic foreigner leeches can be easily detected within the six months, mostly.

BSO: Absolutely. Well then if there's nothing else, I'll get going.

CO: For sure, have a nice flight. Here, let me get the door for you.

Edit: Please note that it's Friday night, Gowon misses Gowoner most terribly and is mildly imbibed on Fosters (damn Aussies and their oil cans).

As a frequent visitor of the land down under, Aussies do not drink Foster's as they think it is hideous.

Foster's in America is not true blue, not fair dinkum. It's fake.

Try a Kooinda Pale Ale.

OP.. It indeed will not be easy to get a tourist visa, not impossible, just not likely. But it will not affect your K1 process if denied either.

[Tintin and Mike 127]

Wouldn't it be easier for you to just visit her in the Philippines than spending all that time, energy and money trying to get her a tourist visa which is really hard to get approved? Anyways, good luck if you still want to pursue that route.

Just speaking from my experience... Since you have already applied for a visa (K1?), it is going to be next to impossible for your fiance to get a visitors visa. You can try... After all, it is only money you have to spend and lose. Once your fiance appears for the visa interview s/he will know immediately whether or not the visa is approved before leaving the interview. My advice, save your money and spend it when your fiance gets to the US.

It will be very unlikely that your fiancée will be granted a tourist visa. She would have to prove ties to her home country which without knowing her I would say would be limited as she plans to start a new life in the US relatively soon.

The easiest way for you to see each other would be for you to go to the Phillipines.

- If your fiancée was lucky enough to get a tourist visa it would generally be stamped in her visa straight away. They generally deny or approve tourist visas on the spot. In rare cases there will be AP or a deferred decision.

That chances that a girl from the Philippines, who has already applied for a K1 visa, would be granted a visiter visa to the US, is about 0%.

She would have to show a permanent job there, own land, have super strong family ties, something to show without any doubt that she would return. Very very very hard for the average Filipina to do.

Much easier for you to go there to visit, or just wait it out.

[bayojona3231 4]

As others have said,it will be almost impossible. Do not waste your money.

Speaking from experience... if you never try you will never know. My wife visited twice on a B1/B2 while our petition was being adjudicated. If you have the means and meet the requirements there is no reason not to.

Anything is possible...but good luck with that......
