as has been said, there is no sponsorship for a visa. NONE.

 

It is unlikely it will be approved, to be honest. being young, having few ties, ph being a high fraud country, and in your case, having relatives here may actually work against you.

 

but worse case scenario, you are just out the $160 and the concert tickets

i 485, 130, EAD and AP

04/09/2019    NOA1 received/check cashed i 485 and 130 (direct adjustment)

11/7/2019      Interview- Norfolk

The OP's situation is hardly normal, so I am not sure any of the normal comments apply.

Ooooppppss apologies, this is noted, thank you.


 

loose translation:

 

you will only lose the application fee in the event that they denied your visa, but that you will forever regret not trying...

This appears to be a BTS concert, surely they play closer to home?! 

Hands up, I googled that, South Korea presumably.

Oops ive been found out 😅 yes it is a BTS concert. and unfortunately no, they havent gone here since our country cant afford to have them now and we dont have a stadium where they could held it. Korea and Japan are a closer option yes but I cant buy tickets there since I am not a resident from either countries. They are only exclusive for korean and japanese fans who have membership, which i dont have.

I never realised I was so abused growing up.

Velver, 

 

Ignore the sarcastic comments above (you know who you are). 

 

If you've been to Korea as you've said, it might help your case a bit since you've had a chance to go to a first-world country and you honored that visa by not overstaying. But it's still a long shot. Keep your expectations low, but you might luck out. 

 

If they ask why you want to go to the U.S., just be honest and don't lie.
