I applied for my Tita... She got approved for 1year visa, multiple entries - exit every 3months.
We presented bank cert with P150k, DTI registration of her sari sari store and a letter from their local priest since she is doing some volunteering work every Sunday.
I also made a detailed invitation letter stating reasons why she needs to return here after her initial entry/exit.
She got a husband in Phils - minding their store currently. She has 3 kids - 2 are already working, 1 in college.
I guess, CO see applications whollisticly... Dapat ma-hit mo mostly ung mga requirements nila not just isang area lang.
