SB1 VISA manila [merged threads]

[Airis 0]

Hi i just had my sb1 visa inteview. The Consular officer told me after my interview that he will submit my application for approval. I went to another window after my interview the lady told me to wait a week for the results.i will be notified via email and mail.Does this mean i got denied? Did any of you that applied for sb1 visa in manila had to wait a week for the results?

Anyway, my reason i couldnt fly back was i got pregnant and had infection causing my amniotic fluid to leak at 5 months. I was also put on bed rest at 4 months due to hypertension.i was admitted at the hospital twice for premature labor(had documents to prove everything).i also didnt find out i was pregnant till i was about 4 months bec i was still bleeding i thought i had my period.my return trip was on april 23 but gave birth on april 28(baby was 1 day  from being premature)i was induced due to hypertension and low amniotic fluid.anyway,i also had proof that i tried to board on the plane on april 23 but was denied.

If the CO told you he was recommending you for approval, why would you immediately think you got denied?  

The second lady you asked had nothing to do with approving or denying your case since she didn't interview you, look at your application, or read any evidence you submitted----focus on what the actual CO who interviewed you said, not anyone else.

I applied for SB1 visa here in the Philippines, if they tell you they will email you result does that mean bad news? If approve do they tell you right away?how long did you have to wait till you get your results? Im wondering why the consular officer didnt ask me a lot of questions and didnt ask for more proof.He basically asked me when i came to america,why i overstayed and what efforts i made to try to get back.After answering all his questions he asked me for proof.i showed him my medical certifications and police report.then he stopped asking me questions.i asked him if he wanted to see my other documents such as tax returns,proof of current bills in US,social ties etc he said no.The other 2 that got interviewed were flooded with questions but not me and my interview didnt last long compare to them.i dont know if thats a bad sign.any advice?thanks

Now that your identical threads have been merged, I remember you already had the CO tell you that were approved.  Just wait for the email now.

The CO didnt tell me I was approved. He told me that he was going to submit my application for approval.

The reason i think i got denied bec the CO didnt ask me a lot of questions and my interview was short compared to other sb1 applicants.also he only looked at my medical certificate,police report and affidavit of loss.i asked him if he wanted to look at my tax returns,proof of current us address,bills etc he said no.after looking at my med cert,police report and affidavit of loss he ended the interview and said he will submit my application for approval.btw i had to get police report and affidavit of loss bec i lost my passport and greencard.the greencard was retrieved but not the passport.

I am planning to also apply for an SB1 visa but can anybody help me not professionally, but just to hear other people's opinion I was gone out of the US for about 4 yrs now ( Since 2016) and the reason behind it was because I was taking care of my father who is ill and currently staying in the Philippines. supposedly, I was only going to take a 1 month vacation. I didnt know about the illness of my father to that extent not until when I came back and my stepmom vented out on me I know he is living with my stepmom but I didn't really trust her at that time. Considering the fact that I've only met her once. My dad is a 70+ yr old man at the time that he got diagnosed with COPD. His health has been fragile before and even when he got diagnosed.  It took me that long outside the US because it is not easy to convince my dad to see a professional doctor and not just an internal medicine walked-clinic and to find someone who can also help him and my step in case of emergency.  I don't want to stay that long, but I need too. Now, I want to go back in the US because I need too. It's for my 15 yr old son. With the doctor's letter, medical records and abstract, with letters from families and friends who witnessed me taking care of my dad ( Of course all these letters will be notarized by a lawyer ) plus my round-trip ticket (because I was supposed to stay only for 1 month) and my ties to the US which is my son. I don't have any properties there. So can someone advised me what the chances that my SB1 be approved?  Do you consider my situation as " Beyond my Control "
