Hi all,

I have a friend also on f2b category

He wanted to spend time & visit his family in the US

But he has few concerns with the chances of getting a visit visa.

What are his Chances of Getting a visa????

His single,obviously (f2b) requirement

His siblings and parents are in US, other sibling in uk

(So family ties would be questionable, isn't it??)

His a Nurse (which we think would be a big downside especially here in phils????)

Please share your experiences if you are on the same situation.

Thanks in advance...

By my calculations 6.83%, not good.

Even if his a Nurse from a reputable hospital? Will he not stand a chance?

Any Other Suggestions & Advised from the People here, what could be his options??

Thanks!

You have focused on seemingly the negative aspects of his application, the totality is what counts.

Within my margin of error.

My wife applied for a visitor visa from Ukraine. Our F2A is pending. California Congressman wrote a recommendation letter to the USA embassy in Ukraine. Still they rejected her application for visitor visa. So the chances are very slim to nothing. :(

As hari29 discovered, a letter from some congressman carries no weight whatsoever...remember, Congress is in the Legislative branch of our government and the DoS is in the Executive branch....and, recalling a bit from Government 101, no one from one branch can tell a person working in another branch what to do.

Nurses from the Philippines have a relatively easy time finding work in the US...(hospitals are constantly looking for low priced labor)...and the COs know this...his occupation could easily work against him when (and if) he applies for a tourist visa.
