I just received my K1 visa yesterday. Our wedding is all set for December and I want a few members of my family from the Philippines attend our wedding in the US. My mom already has a 10yr multiple visitor's visa, so that's good. But my father has been denied 3 years ago, he's retired. Am having him reapply together with my sister and her daughter (my niece) who will be part of our wedding entourage. We've been preparing for a nice wedding and I would be very happy if the most of my family I can take to US will be granted visa to attend wedding.

Anyone who had experience having their family members from the Phils attend your wedding in the US? Did they easily get visa? I've been going in and out of the US for work and visits before and am hoping to be with my family on a very important day of my life.

Thanks!

Wow, that would be very nice if you can bring your family here in the US for your wedding. I knew how it feels to walk in the aisle without your family. When i got married here i only had my cousin with me, she walked me in the aisle with her husband but its still very sad because my real family wasnt there. I hope that your father and your sister can get a visa. Good luck and best wishes!

They will need very strong ties to the RP which would include a great job, land ownership, money in the bank, etc. Good luck :thumbs:

Thanks guys.... I am really hoping they can get visa, my homemaker mom was able to get one 5 years ago. Seems that there are not too many replies in my question... Mmm will just give it a shot for them. Their interview is already sked for the end of this month.

My dad was granted a visa but my sister and niece were not. They were separately interviewed. I felt my sister would have been more qualified to have been granted than my dad. Both of course had reason that they're attending my wedding in the US. At least my Dad and Mom will be there.
