- Hello, welcome back to my channel.
It's been a while!!! I'd like to share with you my journey during the US Tourist Visa application, especially for those whose looking for a detailed explanation of the whole process, pre-and-post application.
Step 1, fill up your DS-160 form here: ceac.state.gov/ceac/
Step 2, pay thru RCBC bank. Details here: ustraveldocs.com/ph/ph-niv-pa...
Step 3, once paid, create an account here: cgifederal.secure.force.com/ and input the receipt number to schedule an appointment
PS. This vlog is uploaded for the intention of sharing my whole experience and with the hopes of somehow helping current or future applicants in preparing for their application. Sobrang laki rin kasi ng tulong sa akin ng mga videos online while preparing for my US Tourist Visa application here in the Philippines.

Kapag po ba nagbago ka ng ds 160 form, panibagong ID application ulit yun diba. Need ba muna iupdate yung profile sa CGI bago ka magbayad para di yung dati ang mabayaran mo? Kase may mali po sa una kong ds160 ngayon nag create kami ng another ds160form. Yung bago ang binayaran ko pero ayaw pa tanggapin yung reciept number ko na binayaran. 😭😭😭
hi po, nagask po ba ng proof ng support from the sponsor? like COE po nila or bank statement? thank you :)
Congrats tnx Advance God Bless

Hi, thank you for this very informative video and congratulations. Ask ko lang sana about sa invitation ng tita mo? May format ba kayong sinunod or like letter lang stating that she wants you to visit?
Thanks in advance.
Hello! Nothing in specific, but she mentioned the main purpose which is to visit her and do sightseeing together, and ini-state rin yung target dates/s of visit. Thank you for watching and good luck 💖 hope you can subscribe for the upcoming videos ✨
Hello sir. Thank you sa info. My sister just paid their visa fee but when we went to proceed sa scheduling ng interview, may error na ung receipt number cannot found any record that matches info ng sister ko and parents. Pahelp po. Thanks
Hello! Sa akin po gumana ang receipt number after 1 full day. Naghintay po ako ng isang araw bago nag-apply. Pag hindi pa po gumana, you can contact them sa binigay nilang details on their website po
Hello ben,. Congratulation! po. ask ko lang po gusto ko kasi gawan ng tourist visa ung mga magulang ko, ask ko lang dun sa registration dapat ba seperate accounts din ba gagawin ko para sa kanila? if make sense ung tanong ko. mabuhay po kayo.
Hi! Yes, as far as I know, seperate registrations and accounts per individual.
New subscriber here..thanks for this! Do I still need to bring the original copy of my proof of payment?
Thank you for subscribing! I brought mine but they didn't ask for it po, just the confirmation documents po :)
Hi ask ko lang ok lang ba if you will go to New York and visit my mom pero sa ibang place sya sa Pennsylvania which is too far from New York hindi kaya madeny kmi ng husband ko.thanks for your reply.
Hi! Depende po sa pagsagot ninyo and case-to-case basis kasi talaga so walang definite answer. But for me mas okay to state the real purpose of your travel, pwede namang on the side sasabihin niyo ring bibistahin yung mom mo sa US.
Save ko to just in case mag prosper Ang visit ko sa US na motivate Ako.
Thank you and good luck!!
Ano dalhin documents sa interview?
I want to invite my mother and daughter to visit here at US

@@mariepazamon2998 Hi! They did not ask any papers from me aside from my passport.
sir san po marereceive ang confirmation information form ng ds 160 with bar code wala papo akong receive nkapagbayad pa naman nako sa bank ng visa fee
Hello! Nasa end page po siya ng application as far as I can remember, pero may natanggap din po akong email confirmation.
Katatapos lang interview nmin ng mother ko nitong March 7 2024 lang. I got denied pero mother ko Visa aprub 2 days lng na received n nya Visa nya multiple entry 10 yrs. 6 questions lng tanong smin ng consul..
Congrats to your mom and hope you get your visa approved soon 🙏
CONGRATS
Ano po gagawin pagkatapos ma submit ang ds160 at may application form na? kailangan ba na mag booked ako ng appointment kahit wala pa ang confirmation from USCIS?
Hi Ben! Thank you so much for sharing your video, I greatly appreciate it so much. I filled out the DS 160 online for my senior mother for the renewal of her tourist visa. Hindi kami nagbayad sa travel agency kasi P15k ang fee nila. Whereas if I will do it myself P11k plus lang ang renewal fee. Will you please help me kung paano e apply ang senior, age 80 for the Interview Waiver kasi hindi na kailangan e interview ang Mom ko sa US Embassy because of her age. Please help me.
Hello! As much as I would want to help, hindi po ako familiar sa process ng renewal of visa since I only experienced and tackled US tourist visa. But I'm sure marami pong tips/tutorials on other channels regarding your concern po.
@@benjosephdiaz Thank you Ben for the message.
Sir you did not undergo medicals?
Hello.. we plan to apply a tourist visa lahat kmi sana my hisband and two kids. . pwede po bang mag sabay sabay kmi mag pa set ng appointment for interview. . kasi individual ang pag fill out ng ds160 so mdyo kabado ako sa pag fill out since its my first time and ayoko n sana p assist sa agency para mka save pa.
Yes, tama. As far as I know, individual po ang filing. But yung kids, maisasama niyo siya sa interview as family but kapag adults I think hiwalay.
Very helpful thanks for sharing Po..tanong lang Po what if sponsor ka Po possible Po ba ma approve?
Hello! Yes, basta may sapat na supporting documents po kayo and kayang i-justify ang mga sagot sa interview
Hi sir my 2 countrys ako na puntahan hongkong and macao my changes ba na ma approved us visa ko thanks po
Hi! Of course meron po, but that will depend on how you answer their questions po and kung capable po kayo makatravel by your own means (if self-funded trip).
Hi po, sana masagot. I've watched videos, and it seems walang requirements na pinapasa while applying? Dadalhin lang ba yung requirements during interview? Sorry medyo na confuse ako sa part na yun.
Hello! Yes, correct! For the DS-160 form, you'll just submit your passport-sized photo and that's it. Yung supporting documents you'll bring it to the interview day just in case they'll ask you with that. :)
@@benjosephdiaz Okay thank you so much po! Mahal kasi mag agency so we are doing DIY din.
Anong paper size po ang gamit niyo po sa confirmation page? May standard size po ba na paper for all the files and support documents? Thank you po
Hello! Short bond paper lang, nothing in specific for as long as kita lahat ng details doon sa document :)
Kailang tamang pag buy Ng two way ticket po Kasi plan ko din mag apply Ng us visa B1 B2
Hi! For me once you secured your visa na kasi hindi naman siya requirement when you apply for visa.
Manifest for my sister! 🙏🙏🙏 gusto ko syang bumisita dito sa amin sa california, dto na ako kinasal at nanganak simula non hndi na kmi nag kita ng ilang years kaya gsto ko sya maka visit dito sa amin pra ma meet nya ung nephew nya.
Hopefully ma approve sya target nya next year sana 🙏
Thank you sa info Sir ♥️
Good luck to your sister! ✨ Hope you can subscribe to be updated on my next videos 💖
sir i just submitted my parents ds-160 but I have received the payment the payment details. how can i pay my parents visa?
Hi! Please proceed to step two that's indicated in my caption/description box. You may also follow the instructions I mentioned in the video.
Hi. Ask lang if visit lang or tourist lang, B2 lang ba ang visa class na kukunin? or B1/B2? visit lang po ang purpose, no business po. Like po sayo, u said na u’ll visit ur Aunt lang pero B1/B2 po ang kinuha mo. Thanks
Hi! then B2 lang po. I ticked B1/B2 kasi possible for work on some other time.
Sir ano po sagot pag tinanung ako kung meron akong kamag anak na nasa US? Bale nagwowork po duon ang father ko, working visa po gamit nya. First time ko po mainterview, same company kami ni father ko kung sakali magkaVisa na ko salamat po
Hi! For me mas okay isagot yan kasi lahat naman po ng sinagot ko is totoo. Para iwas butas if may ffup question sila
does it usually take 6 days only for your visa to arrive? My appointment is this October 3rd, but my flight for US for a company event is on Oct. 26th. Oct 3rd is the earliest appointment I got.
Hi! That's just my experience, I'm unaware of other cases. But if your appointment is October 3 and flight is on Oct 26, that would be fine, enough time for the shipment if you get approved.
May company conference din kami sa OCT28 kaso mukang hindi na ako makakakuha ng appointment before 28th. 😢
Hello po Required po ba magdala ng 2x2 Id picture?
Hi! Depende sa visa type but for b1/b2, no need na since you'll submit it na sa DS-160 form :)
Hi, sana po ma-notice. Would you know if we can still schedule a family interview? Kasi seems like yung group interview is intended for organizations.
Hi, not familiar with that set-up tho. Ang alam ko lang is if adult, magkahiwalay na ng interview.
@@benjosephdiaz thank you po🤝
Hi Sir, Good Morning, may i ask po, what next step po after i get the Interview Waiver Confirmation? First time mg fill up this tourist visa sa US..THANK YOU..& HIGHLY APPRECIATED YOUR RESPONSE..
Hello po! May interview confirmation na po? Meaning, scheduled na ang interview? If yes, then ang next na po diyaan ay attending your appointment for the interview. You can follow the steps I mentioned sa video po for guidance :)
@@benjosephdiaz, thank you Sir, laking tulong po itong video mo..nkapgbook na po for interview but on july pa ang available..again thank you & GOD BLESSED US 🙏.
@@Maria-479D thank you and good luck! ✨ Hope you can subscribe to be updated on my next videos 💖
Ano gagawin ko na mag tourist visa at bisitahin ko Isa kong kaibigan
Hi! You may watch the video and use it as my guide po.
thank you sa pag share ng experience mo :) ask ko lang po kung ganu katagal ka bago maka kuha ng sched?
Hello! Usually ang available na next scheds ay next month or next two months. But as mentioned in my video, you can standby for cancelled slots na mas maaga.
@@benjosephdiaz Wow super thank you sa pag respond..I just paid my visa application today and I was trying to create a login now para makapag sched unfortunately, hnd sha mag go and nag eerror sha..do I need to wait until tomorrow and try?napaparanoid ako eh :d pa advise ulit, thank you po.
@@MinaHart-pl9klHello! Na-experience ko rin siya and I gave it a one full day (24hrs) to check again and nagproceed na po siya on their system already.
@@benjosephdiaz Super thank you sa video mo napaka informative. I'll give it a try later :) Sana ako maka kuha agad ako ng appointment and praying na ma approved din like you :) God bless!
Hello, question po in scheduling the appointment pwede ba mag pick ng dates like for example the whole month meron po avaiable na dates? thank you
Hi! Depende sa availability and you can only rebook twice.
thank sa reply. Nandito po kase sa abroad and plan ko umuwi sa pinas just to apply US visa. Hirap po kase kumuha ng appointment dito after 2 years pa meron. I'm wondering kung meron slot na available while i stay there just for 2 weeks, and how long will it take to get your visa back po.@@benjosephdiaz
@@thelmamariano5762 I suggest you book your flight here once you secured your appointment po for the US Visa interview. May mga nagca-cancel kasi so pwede ka makakuha ng maagang dates but usually 2 months prior to booking na ang available. I received back my passport after being approved after 6 days po :)
@@benjosephdiaz got it! Salamat :)
Pede po ba ako housekeeping lng work ko.part of me and my friend for the expenses my friend stay sa place nya
Much better if may travel history muna kayo before securing US Visa kasi they ask recent travel histories. If may sponsor or covered na expenses, dapat may letter rin for safety.
Hi po sana mapansin. If nag apply as family pwede po ba yung hindi lahat ma-approve?
Hello! Based sa mga napapanood kong ibang experiences unfortunately, yes kasi depende rin sa pagsagot and documents na ip-present if meron. Bale for adults 18+ isa-isa na kasi iinterviewhin and not as a family. Good luck!
Hi Sir, I would like to ask if do I need to visit other countries as requirement to get US Tourist Visa? Invited kasi ako sa kasal ng cousin ko so this will be my first time traveling outside philippines.
Hi! Wala namang specific requirement na binanggit na required yan but I think that would help kasi they're asking travel histories outside the PH.
@@benjosephdiaz Sige sir, thank you!
@@kevinT380 But if masasagot naman ng ayos and majustify that you're capable to travel in the states even without travel history, malay natin. Thank you for watching and good luck 💖 hope you can subscribe for the upcoming videos ✨
Hi! May question ako. Plano ko papuntahin ang parents ko tapos yung brothers. Sagot namin mag asawa ang mga expenses nila. Magkaproblema ba sa interview?
Hi! Depende po lahat yan sa pagsagot nila. If sponsored niyo, prepare all necessary documents lang then you can try applying them.
I just got my interview today April 5,2024 it was denied after series of interview when She ask About my status,,I answer widowed.then She return my Passport and no explanation together with the blue form.I still interested to re apply..how many months ba Ako maka apply muli.
Hello! I think after 6 months po ulit saka pwede mag-apply but no so sure. Hoping for your next application to get approved. Good luck po!
Hi. I've heard that you can reapply after 6 months or when your circumstances have improved - own financial capacity and strong ties to home country. Travel history as tourist is a plus factor.
How if couple kami mag apply dalawa din ba kami mag fill up nang form?
Yes, isa-isa 'yung pag file ng DS-160.
Preparahan .. Ilonggo word
If bago Ang passport ilang buwan bago kumuha Ng us visa for tourists
Hi. Kahit bago yung passport mo, pwede ka nang mag apply. 1st passport mo ba yan or renewal na? With previous travels? Travel history as tourist is a plus factor in the application.
Ask ko lang po ano dapat gawin kailangan pa ba muna mag fill up ng form bago mag bayad. Paano po magbayad at saan po . First timer lang po di ko po alam ang ibang way . gagawin .
Hi, nasa video and description box po ang steps. :)
Do you have to buy two way tickets before the interview?
I didn't have plane tickets when I applied for the visa but I prepared to answer that in case that I'll book as soon as I secured the visa.
I manifest na 2025 ma approve din ang aking tourists visa ko pa 🇺🇸 god bless 😊😊
Thank you and good luck! ✨ Hope you can subscribe to be updated on my next videos 💖
hello po.dapat po ba may work para malaki ung chance na ma approve ang visa?
Hello! Plus point yan lalo na if self-funded trip siya, meaning, ikaw yung magbabayad. But if sponsored trip naman and may magbabayad for you, pwedeng wala but need ng affidavit and letter of invitation from the sponsor na notarized. Yung other documents, you may search po online :)
Hi po kakatapos ko lang magfill up ng form online aantayin ko po magapprove tapos magbayad for the visa and interview shedchule?
Hello! Wala naman approval, pagkakuha mo ng online application confirmation, pwede na magproceed sa next steps.
@@benjosephdiaz nagbayad napo ako pano po magpaschedule for interview?
@@isapanares4510 Hello! Binanggit ko po sa video yung steps :)
Hello po!! Ask ko lng matagal po ba talaga ang payment processing kase nagbayad ako kahapon ng visa fee sa rcbc ngayon ini-enter kona yung reciept number ko ayaw pa nya.
Magkano visa fee binayaran moh
@@jhulzcardino3560 11,100 po
hello po. Need po bayadan agad after application ng ds160? pwede ba after 4 months pa? and allow ka ba makapili ng date at month kung kailan mo gusto ang interview?
Hello! That I'm not sure kasi after I submitted my application, nagbayad and schedule na agad ako ng appointment. But pag nakabayad ka naman pwedeng hindi book agad, pwede maghintay ng desired schedule.
@@benjosephdiaz thankyouuu
@@itsmeeeloveeeey122 thank you and good luck! ✨ Hope you can subscribe to be updated on my next videos 💖
multiple entry po ba nabigay sa inyo? congrats po!
Yes, I got a multiple entry visa. Thank you and good luck! ✨
Can you share the link of cgi federal
Hi! All necessary links are placed on my description box.
Yung letter of invitation ng tita mo po was it thru email?
E-letters are fine po even with e-signature. Nag-attach lang rin kame ng valid ID niya for reference and additional document.
Tanong lang po bakit ayaw maenter nung receipt number kahit bayad na po kame😢
Hello! Ganyan rin sa akin before. Try again after mga 24hrs, saka gumana sa akin :D
Hello. Okay lang po kaya na hindi ako personally ang magbayad sa rcbc?
up
Hi, yes! I paid for a colleague before and it's fine.
@@benjosephdiaz thank you po
Ilang days po after maka submit ng application allowed to pay ng visa fee?
You'll generate your own reference number so validity non I think is 48hrs, but you can regenerate again if nag-expire.
@@benjosephdiaz thank you po for the replay
Hi po sir..ininvite po ako ng tita ko magtour sa US,nandito po ako sa hongkong now,nagtanong po ko sa agency kung paano kumuha ng visa sabi po nila is malabo daw po ako mabigyan kung hindi nanay ang kukuha saakin..ask ko lang po wla na po ba ako pag asa makakuha ng tourist visa? Sana masagot po..thankyou
Did you prepare bank statement as well? How much is it, just estimate po
Hi! I did prepare for my bank statement but they were not asked during the interview. The funds there was just enough to pay for my own trip.
Pano po pag sponsor need pa din po ba ng bank statement?
Hi! For me, prepare as much documents that you can prepare just in case magtanong rin sila kahit sponsored
Ano po ang qutions sa us embasy
Hi! It's in the video po from 21:40 onwards :)
Ilang months po mag apply bago ang date na gusto mo mg visit sa US?
Hi! For me mas okay na saka na magbook ng flight once you secured your visa para iwas jinx. But for cases like mine, processing only took a month (depende sa available interview appointment sa site).
@@benjosephdiaz thank you & God bless
