thank you.

Main thing is you have GOOD reasons you have to return to the Philippines and won't go TNT.

Bank accounts, GOOD job, own property etc. You also have to show you can pay your own way.

Is your hubby with you or in the US?

Opo! Having credit cards also shows you are a stable person with a life there.

The majority of filipinos don't have them.

Walang anuman po!

Good luck. Cost $100 US to apply. Just fill out the DS 156 online and make an appointment also. You pay the $100 [in pesos] at BPI and they'll give you a DS 157 to fill out. Make a copy.

Have 2 copies of each plus paste on PP pictures.

Letter from hubby stating your circumstance may help naman.

Ingat!

I hope everything goes well for you... but it may be difficult to get a visitor visa, especially since your husband is living in the USA full time..

good luck

you are right jula, my application for tourist visa was denied because the consul said i dont qualify on that category since i am married to a US citizen. my husband should really apply for an immigrant petition eventhough it is not really our desire to live in the US. the consul didnt even bother to ask for documents.
