Top 5 US K-1 & K-3 Visa Myths
Debunked
The below is borrowed from Thailand Law Forum [http://thailawforum.com], but is just as applicable to the Philippines.

1) A Law Firm that Offers a Guarantee is a Legitimate Practice

A respectable law firm should not be accepting clients who are not qualified to be approved for a visa. Further, the US government, if
they are going to deny a visa, will not be influenced by advertising claims.

2) The K1/ K3 Visa Process is Only about Filling in Forms

This is like saying surgery is only about slicing and stitching. Or "love is never having to say you’re sorry." As in "sorry babe, you
have been excluded from the US for a period of 10 years because of my creative form filling technique." A federal government form is
a very serious document and a single misrepresentation may have severe penalties and repercussions.

3) The Visa Applicant Must Show Sufficient Funds in Her (His) Bank Account to Support
His/Her Visa Application

This is true of non-immigrant visas, such as student and business visas. With a K-1 visa and K-3 visa, the issue is the financial ability
of the petitioner and not of the visa applicant. However, many women would feel more secure and self confident with all your money
transferred into their bank account. We are also willing to accept your money for our self-confidence.

4) Visa Applicants will be Grilled at the Embassy Interview

For the most part, Embassy interviews are routine unless there is a serious outstanding issue, most will pass the interview.

5) You Can Get a Tourist Visa for Your Filipino Girlfriend/Boyfriend

It is very difficult to obtain a tourist visa for most Philippine nationals under these circumstances. However it may delay the issue of
serious commitment for a few months or until you receive a divorce from your current partner.
