Hello, I noticed you have a long thread in another forum on this site. As you have been advised there it is very unlikely that your gf from the philipines will receive a tourist visa unless she has a very compelling reason to return to the Philippines. This usually translates to Money. So if you have to send her the $160 it is unlikely that she would get approved and you'll be out the $160. Also bear in mind that the $160 is only part of the cost for her. If she's not in Manilla then she'll have to travel to Manilla to do the interview. If she doesn't have a passport she'll need to obtain one. And she'll need money for an Airline ticket, in the unlikely event the visa is approved. Further just to leave tthe Philippines she needs to pay travel tax and terminal fees which is a substantial amount of money. She should advise you of all this. She'll need to show financial means to the USA embassy to support her trip to the USA and if she has that then the $160 fee should not be an issue for her either. All in all I'd suggest you save the money and use it toward a trip for yourself to the Philipines it is an amazing place whith more beauty than you can imagine. Given you said in your other post that you are currently unemployed it's the perfect time to go explore. You can enter the Philipines visa free and stay for up to 21 days. It's much cheaper for you to spend time with her there then vice versa. Go, too the Philippines my friend, enjoy it, soak it in. Just by being there you'll have a much greater understanding of who you plan to marry as you'll have gained valuable insight into where she comes from. If you want to make arrangements I would be happy to discuss further with you. I hope you take the time to really embrace the country that is so much a part of what makes her who she is. Best of luck.
