Hi Guys,

I have an Auntie in Saipan holding working visa and she is a Filipino Citizen.

My question is does she need to go back to the Philippines to apply for US Tourist Visa? or can she apply a US Tourist Visa in Saipan?

Thank you in advance for the help! ^_^

I'm still waiting for NOA2 but last night I sat down and printed lots of things off for ongoing evidence for the interview stage so far. I'm still chasing my doctors up reguarding vaccinations.

Yes many earlier December filers have not gotten approved yet. But then again like someone else said we (VJ members) are only a fraction of all filers so we only see what members post here. Also, the CSC has a processing time of 5 months so we are lucky if we get response within a short amount of time. We are anxious I know trust me, I am super because I am traveling to see my fiancé in a few weeks and I was wishful thinking that I would have approved case by now. But hey everything happens for a reason. Approval dust sent to everyone. ?????

You don't need a "ton" of evidence. What you need is contained in the UK Embassy letter.

Also, keep in mind that a forum like this one is for initial bonding with others who are along the same timeline as you for initial processing. The initial application is the same no matter where in the world you are. But, having said that, once you get your approval (NOA2 text message or email), you should move over to your country's sub-forum to get a better understanding of the process for the Embassy that you will be interviewing with, and to get direct answers from those who have completed the steps you are about to at the US Embassy UK.

Those in this thread, are applying from various Embassies around the world and there are different process for each. So what works in Russian, Philippines or UAE may not work for those processing through the UK. VJ sub forum is for all things dealing with the US Embassy in the UK and the members there will answer your questions for the processing of your visa from their personal experience.

Link: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/99-united-kingdom/

Get the UK K1 Embassy Letter (EL) at http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/99-united-kingdom/ as this is your bible needed to complete and receive your visa. The required documents are included and use the EL as a check list. Once you have completed or gathered the required documents you'll be ready for your interview. If it is not on the Embassy letter, it probably is not needed.

Last but not least, READ the pages on the US Embassy website for you country so that you are up to speed.

http://london.usembassy.gov/

One last place to check for information would be the VJ Wiki found here: http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/Special:AllPages

Good luck and God's speed.

She can apply in Saipan. First thing is that you need to visit the website for the US Embassy of Saipan to look through the details of what is needed. Most will require you to prove to the satisfaction of the US consular official at the interviewing US embassy/consulate, that they have significant ties to the Phils/Saipan. such that they would return to the Phils/Saipan. after their US visit is completed. Such ties could include, property, house ownership, current stable employment, etc. Each visitor visa applicant is presumed to have immigration intent, and must prove that they are not trying to immigrate to the US. A letter from a doctor, any documents from you, or any other invitation-type letter would likely have no positive effect on the visitor visa approval.

Good luck.
