F1 visa for Minor sister in the Philippines

[HFM181818 750]

not sure what China has to do with this case...and lots of parents send their kids to the US to be raised by relatives so the kids will have a better life....merely having parents in the PI is NOT considered a strong tie due to the frequency of 'leaving lots of children behind.'

If she fails to return for, say, 3 years, then she will be 18....and what do a lot of young 18 year old Filipinas dream about? Yep.....marrying an American citizen.

We're talking about a 15 year old girl(turning 15 rather) going to a school. Not someone marrying somebody so they could come to the US and live here permanently. You are talking about those young filipino women who don't have anything back in the Philippines and dont really want to go to school and just want to marry a foreigner and have a baby. I understand what you said and the consular might look at that way either, but if that would be the reason of rejecting her, I would still want her to try, because her intention of coming out here is pure, just to study.
