  • No job or resources; can I get a B2 visa?

    I am a Filipino woman living in Anguilla, a British overseas territory in Caribbean. I am not married. I have a long term boyfriend/partner. He is British. He is a professional and works in Anguilla. My immigration status under Anguilla rules is that I am his dependent. My Anguilla visa expressly says that I do not have the right to obtain employment and that I have the right to reside with my (unmarried) partner in Anguilla, who the visa mentions by name. My Anguilla visa is renewable every year. It expires on the same date that my partner's Anguilla work visa expires each year. He's been living in Anguilla for over 4 years. I am in my second year here living with him with this status. I do not have employment; I do not have any property; I do not have a bank account. My (unmarried) partner has a high six figure salary plus property etc. in the UK. He would be willing to "sponsor" my B2 visa, if "sponsoring" is the correct word. I would have to travel to Barbados for any interview for the visa.

    What do you think of my chances of getting a B2 tourist visa given that I am (i) not married; (ii) don't have employment or assets but (iii) do have a boyfriend/partner who has good employment etc. and would sponsor me?

    We'd love to be able to visit the U.S. or at least transit through the U.S., but I also don't want to submit an application for a visa that would be rejected as that might be a black mark against me for the future.

    Many thanks in advance for any knowledgeable insights.

      I agree, almost no chance both for legal and moral reasons.

        Thanks: I've no idea if the replies here are coming from persons who know about the topic or not.

        Given what applying for a visa means when you live on a remote island like I do, and would have to incur substantial expense just to travel to a visa application centre, I don't think I will apply.

        I don't see how morality enters into it.

            One would think expenses and travel could be borne by someone who claims to supported by a relatively well-off individual, and not restricted by a work schedule.
            Oh, and there is no such thing as him sponsoring your B2 when neither of you can claim any link to the US; he's British, you're Filipino, and both live in a third country.

            Unfortunately, statistics show that unmarried Philippine women do not have a good track record of leaving the US once entering on a tourist visa.

              Truth is I'm not very keen on travelling alone, as my bf would not have vacation days to spare to make the trip with me. It was a big deal for me to travel to the Caribbean in the first place by myself. But you're right that I could make the trip. I have the money and time. I take it that you know a lot more about this than me and will not bother with applying, as the odds appear to be very much stacked against me. It's what I always thought would be the case, though I had no one to ask. I won't waste a trip to Barbados to confirm it.

              I'm not sure of what "sponsor" means in a U.S. context. He has been my "sponsor" in the sense of showing I have financial resources etc., in the context of prior successful visa apps to visit Europe. That's all I had in mind here for a U.S. visa app.

              All the best.
