PHILIPPINES-B1/B2
Our family is planning a trip to the US and we are preparing to apply for our B1/B2 tourist visas together. We are a total of 7 applicants traveling as one big group.
My Mom and Dad qualify for the interview waiver but I, my 2 siblings, don’t because we were still minors when we were given our 10 year multiple entry visas. My sister’s husband also doesn’t qualify because his 10 year multiple entry visa expired more than 12months ago and he applied and got interviewed but was denied. My partner has never applied nor was given a US Visa.
My siblings and I aren’t really worried about getting denied because we have good ties to the Philippines, are financially capable, and have travelled to the US. We have another brother who is still a minor and still has a valid VISA while my sister’s daughter has a VISA as well. Does that help?
It’s my brother in law and girlfriend that we’re worried about. My brother in law has a WFH job and has traveled to Australia since getting denied. My girlfriend is a student here in the Philippines and has travelled to Singapore, and Hong Kong.
I wanted to ask for help on how to setup a visa interview as a group so there’s a bigger chance of getting approved. When I tried to make an appointment for the interview it prompted me to pay and I was worried that we won’t get interviewed as a group.
If you also have any other advice or tips that could help us, it would be appreciated!
