Does anyone have experience with bringing a pinay to the USA for a few weeks on a tourist visa? ....

I have an American friend with a Thai wife. He has had trouble getting her a tourist visa up until a couple years of marriage. For some reason they would never issue her one. At one meeting he was advised to get her a Green Card, he was told it would be easier than getting her a tourist visa?

The laws and rules on visa's and immigration are very complex and then the actual enforcement is left up to a relatively low level administrator who is paying his or her dues before moving up in the system. They will never be blamed for denying someone entry but will be blamed f someone they issue a visa to breaks the rules. This is not only an American phenomena but one I have seen just about everywhere. Of course the current political climate in the US does not help, with all the press on illegal immigration.

Unmarried, no child and / or under 25 can create problems because of HT concerns. Will get worse when metoo hits Asia. Even worse when Miss(?) America no swimsuit thinking hits Asia.

But she was denied to leave the Philippines by their imigrationsofficers in the airport.

Where does this gentleman assume financial support for that trip come from? That is not part of any tourist visa process that I have ever heard of. If it was that simple, this place would be swarming with third world hookers. The person requesting the visa must show they have enough to support themselves. They want bank statements. They must also prove good reason to return, such as property in their name and a very good job. A Brazilian friend of mine tried to pull that so and so will be responsible for me. They asked, well what if something happens to so and so? She had no answer for that. Denied!

I have helped several friends get a visa, but these were by no means desolate chicks that would depend on my care. The times that we had seen each other I would always make sure to take pictures together in different situations showing that we have a history together and I didn't just meet this person on the internet last night. Then I would make a letter saying they would stay with me on such and such dates and include a picture of my passport and driver's license on the letter. The girl would take the letter and all of our photos to the interview with her. But like I said, these were chicks with places to live and jobs to return to. If you are just trying for some educationless, jobless scalawag to come see you then they pretty much know it is sex trafficking. And in the words of Judge Judy, it ain't going to happen.

And it can be even more complicated. One time I asked a Philippine friend to come visit me in Kuala Lumpur. No visa granted for her in Malaysia. But she was denied to leave the Philippines by their imigrationsofficers in the airport. They asked why she should go. She answered honestly "to meet boyfriend". They was scared that it was a victim for human T. I booked a new ticket for her for the next day and send her copy of some fligts we have done together. Normaly I never take pictures but luckily we also had a couble of pictures. She also printed some conversations from Messenger. Then she get permision to leave the country.

Difficult if the girls is not a professional; as in a trade other than in the sex trade. If visiting family members, they get also suspicious. But can be done.

Does anyone have experience with bringing a pinay to the USA for a few weeks on a tourist visa? The girl will need to apply for the visa and the gentleman will need to assume financial support for that trip. In looking around on the web I think you can do this by affidavit. The guy has a good job in a very vanilla industry so hopefully there will not be a suspicion of sex trafficking.

Any experiences, hints or suggestions?

This has been airline policy ever since 9/11.

I have been delayed numerous times all over the world by the need to remove checked bags from the plane that belong to someone who checked in the bag but didn't board.

It even happened on a domestic flight Sydney to Melbourne.

You will also hear lots of page calls for last passenger to board, telling them that if they do not board immediately, their luggage will be removed. Often the people board late and the plane departs but once they open the baggage compartment to get the bags the passanger will be denied boarding.

I saw that at an adjacent gate once, the passenger arrived a minute after they opened the baggage compartment and was denied boardimng. They were not happy and everyone within ear shot of them know it.

A lot of airlines have this policy. There is a recognised risk of terrorists checking in rigged baggage, but not taking the flight.

Most good carriers nowadays will not let baggage go unattended in the hold of an aircraft.

I fly a lot and at times we are delayed as someone has checked in the bags, not appeared at the gate and these must be removed. It is a real pain when that happens especially on a full A380 but better safe than sorry.

As for the smaller carries and the more third world countries this can be slap dash at best.

[AussieGaigin]

That's a good saying. I'm thinking about the airline security requirement that luggage doesn't fly if the checked-in pax doesn't board the flight. Another great corporate error. I assumed they cared.

All of that being said I have chatted a few CP flight attendants a bit of flirting and gotten zero phone numbers or any real attention or interest. Hey generally seem to be well educated and remunerated. They work long shifts.

And short and unattractive women need not apply.

Coincidence sometimes looks like conspiracy. But here's a rule of thumb I have learned from working in many different kinds of organizations: assume incompetence before malevolence. Malevolent conspiratorial actions require skills and coordination; incompetence requires neither of these.

This will sound very corny but I have also stayed in Parklane and my luggage was lost on my inbound flight too. I think in my case he luggage also arrived about 11 pm. There's a conspiracy.

I think you're giving CP too much credit by assuming they knew that Alter Deutscher's luggage was being left in Manila.

I forgot to mention, that I got a call from a staff in Parklane Hotel around midnight, that I could take my luggage, Cebu Pacific would have just delivered. That was like a wonder for me, that it happened so soon.

Reminds me of the time a friend of mine landed in NAIA and was going to Angeles right away and they lost his luggage. He waited and filed a lost baggage report at the airport and went on to Angeles. 2 days later his luggage was delivered to the AC hotel. The delivery truck was an old dump truck with an open roof. His luggage was smoking hot from the open roof. LOL.

Get a few different Doctor's opinions and tests done and don't hesitate. Many advice here, some are good and one with syphiliic damaged brain cells. Best to get professional medical help on this.

One question, are you diabetic or border line? If so I have heard it might hinder recovery.
