Jennifer, Sorry, I don't know more :c( I have had great luck with the INS, using their customer service number. The operators have been very helpful and haven't steered me wrong yet, unlike Embassy workers overseas! LOL! The web site is http://www.ins.usdoj.gov and the Customer Service Number is 1-800-375-5283. I wish I knew more for ya :c) Maybe you can fill us in when you get through the process :c) Good Luck :c) Keep the Faith H Title: Re: parents visit Post by: Ray on August 21, 2001, 04:00:00 AM ... in response to parents visit, posted by Jennifer on Aug 19, 2001
Hi Jennifer! Like NW Jim pointed out, they will need a visitor visa. I would start by reading the info on visas at the US Embassy Manila Web site: http://usembassy.state.gov/posts/rp1/wwwh3024.html Also, if they contact some travel agents in the Phils, they may be able to get some assistance with the visa procedures. Good luck, Ray Title: Re: parents visit................Visitors Visa Post by: NW Jim on August 19, 2001, 04:00:00 AM ... in response to parents visit, posted by Jennifer on Aug 19, 2001
Jennifer, Sounds like your parents would need the B-2 Visitors visa. See http://www.travel.state.gov/visa;visitors.html. How tough it is to get such a visa may depend on their home country, and their ability to convince the US Govmnt that they will return. Will have to have let others address their experiences from the PI.
