Hi! good day to everyone. :) Im here seeking for help coz i just need some advice to you guys. Last year I applied for my US tourist visa but i got denied and the consul didnt say anything or any reason why they denied me. Maybe because i am a single mom. Im 30 years old and working as marketing head at a security agency for 3 years. And im also running my parents business which is advertising for almost 10 years but i dont get any salary for them. Lets just call it free bono :) but when my parents get divorce last 2007 my mom decided to transfer her business permit under my name but i didnt use it as a requirements instead i used my office documents,but they didnt asked or look for it. And they denied me.
Now, i was planning to re-apply for tourist visa again to visit my relatives and my boyfriend who leaves in California. I asked some travel agency here in Manila for help but they asked me so much fees and i doubt if they can really help me to get visa. They says i have to use my office documents and my business docs are only additional docs for my requirements. Is that true? What should i do? Should i used my office docs ( ITR, Certificate of Employment etc.) or should i use my business docs? Im confused now and i dont know what to do. All i want is to get visa and to travel. That's it! :)
Thank you so much and more power to you all!:confused:

Do not take advice from a travel agent. If you want a professional review of your documents and situation, see a US immigration attorney.

I think your paperwork is in good order. Work papers that show you have a steady income and a job to come back to, family ties, social obligations etc., are good ways to show your intent to return to your home country. If you are running your parents business, it might be a good idea to show that to the VO too.
It's quite possible that your visa was denied earlier because they thought you were a good candidate to stay on in the US. A single mom travelling to meet her boyfriend could very well have triggered the denial (but who knows, since there is no set formula for rejection/ grant).
Do try again. You don't stand to lose anything by trying again; you just might get the visa or even if you are denied, atleast your situation will be no different than it is now!
Good luck!:)
