Answer 4

From the US Embassy Manila website (see site below for details):

OVERCOMING PRESUMPTION OF IMMIGRANT INTENT UNDER U.S. IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY ACT SECTION 214(b)

  

All B-1, B-2, F-1, F-2, H-2A, H-2B, H-3, J-1, J-2, M-1, M-2, O-2, P-1, P-2, P-3, and Q-1, applicants must qualify under Section 214(b) of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The Act which states:    

      

"Every alien shall be presumed to be an immigrant until he establishes to the satisfaction of the officer, at the time of the application for a visa... that he is entitled to nonimmigrant status..."  

      

Essentially, the visa officer needs to see that the applicant has compelling reasons to return to the Philippines. By law, the burden of proof is on the applicant to show that he or she qualifies for the visa. This proof may come in many forms, but when considered together, it must be strong enough for the interviewing officer to conclude that the applicant’s ties to the Philippines will compel him or her to return at the end of a temporary stay in the United States.    

      

EVIDENCE OF TIES

    

Ties are the aspects of one’s life that bind him or her to his her place of residence, including family relationships, employment and possessions. In the case of younger applicants, who may not have had an opportunity to establish such ties, interviewing officers may look at educational status, grades, the situation of their parents, and the applicant's long-range plans and prospects in the Philippines. As each person's situation is different, there is no set answer as to what constitutes adequate ties.

The interviewing consular officer may request supporting documents during the interview.  Be prepared to present evidence of the applicant’s or the applicant’s parents’ (if the applicant is a minor) ties and financial status in the Philippines such as :

  

      

    1. Bank statements for the last three (3) months and both current and former bank account passbooks  

      

  2. Employment certification including salary, tenure and position  

      

  3.  Form W-2  

      

  4. Income tax return with Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) or bank stamp  

      

  5.  Audited financial statement with BIR or bank stamp  

      

  6. Pay slips for the last three (3) months  

      

  7. Credit card statements for the prior three months  

      

  8.  Vehicle registration with official receipt  

      

  9. Land titles (no certified copies please)  

      

  10. Pictures of family, home or business  

      

  11. Wedding photos  

      

  12. Marriage certificate printed on the Philippine National Statistics Office security paper, if applicable  

      

  13. Birth certificate printed on the Philippine National Statistics Office security paper  

      

  14. For students, certificate of school registration  

      

  15. Certification of membership to legitimate organization(s)

Considering you do not have sufficient funds, and you are already asking about K-1 visas, it is unlikely you will recieve a visa.

Answer 5

All basic documentary requirements must be ready BEFORE an appointment can be made.  Additional documents may be required, so please read the information below carefully.

All documents must be originals. Photocopies will not be accepted, unless specified. The applicant must submit these documents to the interviewing consular officer during the interview. The Nonimmigrant Visa Unit does not accept documents BEFORE the interview. Any documents received will not be returned and will be destroyed.    

      

  BASIC REQUIREMENTS:  

  1.      PASSPORT – Signed passports must be valid for at least six months from the date of intended departure from the United States.  The passport must be in good condition, i.e., photo lamination is undamaged, and all passport pages are intact.

Applicants must also present all previously issued passports or notarized affidavits of loss, if applicable.
