i got my visa approved too recently! same purpose as yours but some of my questions were different. visa interview will never be "uniform". always come prepared. remember what you wrote sa ds-160, practice q&a and just bring some documents in case na itatanong. i know hindi na sila nag aask ng documents like bank statements, coe, etc. but in my case tinanong ako if i have a exam confirmation with me.
Hi Mary, do you have to schedule the appointment for the exam confirmation? or is the ATT enough? I already have an ATT but did not booked a slot for exam specifically at Guam yet. Thanks for the response.
Nung nag apply po ako ng h2b visa wayback 2007 ang consulate na naginterview saken sa us embassy sa pinas ay nagtagalog sya.. pero yung sagot sa kanya english ayun pinasa nya ako sa interview 😁😁😁
Happy New Year, Drea! This is incredibly helpful. Just a couple of questions: When did you have your US VISA interview, especially considering your exam is in July? Also, how did they know the exact date (July 26) of your exam? Did they happen to come across that information during your conversation? 😁
Good question! I didnt realize about the date but the first interview on the first counter(consul was at 3rd counter), they asked me about the exam and when it would be while typing So maybe it was added to my info then. With my date, we actually moved it a couple of times to make sure we get one closest to our exam date so to get a bigger chance of approval. So maybe 1-2months before your date is ideal. Just not too far. My friend who took it with me, she had hers Feb and they didnt give her the visa right away. They had her mail her passport to the embassy 1 month before the exam date. It was ok but a bit of a hassle i guess
Hi! I’ll be having a visa interview on September but I’m so scared that I might get denied of the visa. Currently, I’m still on the credentialing stage of FCCPT but I am planning to take the NPTE by July next year. Is it possible for me to get approved even though I don’t have a confirmation for the exam schedule yet? 🥺
@@JeAnn-j5c Im not sure. Everyone I know who applied had the confirmation from Fsbpt and prometric center already. Because they will ask for the specific date of the exam. Also, its important on your part that your schedule to take is 100% set in stone. Usually the visa they give for test takers will only allow you a specific period of time. like within 1-2wkd of the exam. So if something happens that delays your intended exam date, youll have to reapply for the visa again. So if you can, you really might be better off rescheduling your visa interview. Thats what we did. We rescheduled 2x to get the closest date.
if VO ask me : "What's your purpose visit to US?". Can i answer this based on i write on DS-160: "My wife & I are going to LA and other cities in California on Sep 3rd until Sep 24th for summer holiday. We already book return flight and hotels for those trip". Is this kind of answer categorized too long / too much details? Or should i just say "We're going to holiday to LA & SF on September"
Hi Drea, may I ask how did the officer know the date you are taking the exam? I also have the same reason for a visa, any recommendations on where to put this details on the DS160? Thanks so much for your help.
@@cherphine7032 Hi sorry for the late reply! They didnt. They asked me during the interview and thats when i told them. Im not sure if i included that in my video. But yes, the filipino clerk asked me in the first step and i was asked again by the consul
Hi Cejay! Mine was very specific to the exam so only one entry, but I have more than a few classmates who were given multiple entry just to take the exam. So i think it depends on the consul. I’ve talked to a lot of test takers over the years and it really varies. Its difficult to say but for me for the exam, one entry was all i wanted. Hope that helps 🥰
@@dreaenrera3557 sound correct because it's a business visa not a tour visa but now you can apply for a tour visa and get it very easy because you went out and came back.
@@agent.86 I actually have 3 of my friends getting a tourist visa for the same purpose. ☺️ I think it depends with the consul generally. We got very diff results
Hello, I have a question regarding the DS-160 form. Is it okay po ba na yung nilagay ko sa US point of contact is ang Prometric under ng organization? Kasi wala naman po akong kakilala sa guam and my only purpose of going there is to take the exam 😅 just wondering if you also did the same po!
Sa naremember ko po, ang nilagay namin is FSBPT lng. Pero hindi kami sure kasi nagcopy lng din kami sa classmates namin hahaha pero baka pwede narin ata ang prometric hehe
Hello, i want to know if what documents they get from you or what documents you submit to them after the consul told you that they approved your Visa ? Thanks
Lots of job here in Southern California for medical fields, electro-mechanical technicians and I.T. Just get a degree, certificate, or OJT. Buy a used car, cook your own food and avoid eating out. Find low crime rate area and get an apartment roommate if you are single. Wala pa akong nakitang Filipino homeless dito sa Riverside county.
May tanung lang po ako maam,since nag apply ako ng b1b2 visa kung tatanungin ako what is my purpose in going to US,pwede ko pa bang isagot na sasamahan ko kasi ung kapatid ko sa paghatid ng 3 anak niya sa america,specially maliliit pankasi sila at may baby pa siya,kasinung mga pamangkin ko is only 3yrs/old,1year old and 5months ung last do you think maam tama po na na isagot ko eto?
May I ask with regards to answering the DS-160 form, did you indicate it as self funded?? Or were you sponsored by a family member? And does it affect getting approved or denied?
Hi, we indicated it was self-funded. But I had a friend who got support from his parents. He got approved but had questions from the consul regarding that. I was told Americans are quite big with independence at a certain age, esp after graduating, so it’s not unusual that they find it odd if the parents are funding. Hope that helps

What requirements did you bring in? What did the consult check?

your first answer was the best, visa officers hate when people give them short answers.

Did the consul give you single entry that is only valid for the exam or is it multiple entry visa? Hoping for your answer! 🙏🙏
I bet you it was single entry, she has no reason for multiple entry but she should answer

did you bring photo, is it required, will they ask for photo or photos 2x2?
Yes. They didnt ask for mine but they did for my boyfriend. Make sure its recent, cuz they will make you get another one at the booth outside if not.
hallo po..possible ba yun na kinuha ang passport ko pero ng pinadala ang passport ko sa bahay wala pala itong tatak or visa stamp?
What happened po dito?
May tanung lang po ako maam,since nag apply ako ng b1b2 visa kung tatanungin ako what is my purpose in going to US,pwede ko pa bang isagot na sasamahan ko kasi ung kapatid ko sa paghatid ng 3 anak niya sa america,specially maliliit pankasi sila at may baby pa siya,kasinung mga pamangkin ko is only 3yrs/old,1year old and 5months ung last do you think maam tama po na na isagot ko eto?
I think no kasi maghihinala sila na baka taga bantay kanang bata which is not allowed po.
May restroom po ba sa loob ng US embassy for the visa applicants?
@@PinoyTenChannel yes po meron

Its does effect your approval .. if you don't have money in the bank to fund your trip you know very well your not getting a visa
