Please send us your comments on your treatment at the US Embassy in Manila. Even if you are not one of our customers. email us  mailto:carl@filipinagirlstours.com

We are fighting a battle for my family and yours. Many of our customers have been mistreated and abused by Embassy personnel. Ranging from questions on applicants sexual life [ or lack of ] to not even looking at documents at interviews and or ignoring documents brought to interviews. We might lose our business over this but enough is enough. We have not really made any profit on this business since we started and only last year made a profit for the first time but still have to make up over $20,000 in start up costs and overhead.

The biggest problem seems to be with the non-immigrant branch which does not take care of the K type visa's.

The Embassy MUST abide by United States Codes & Laws and not employees personal opinions and should be completely re-staffed if employees can not abide by regulations and common courtesy . Please send comments along with a statement allowing us to share such comments [not to the public as far as names go ] so we can ask the State Department and the USCIS to act as they should. WE are citizens or the most powerful country in the world and have the RIGHT to be treated as Law abiding person's who are doing their best to conform to posted USC requirements and Law but being ignored or discriminated against because we are following posted USC and regulations  regarding actions on Philippine Citizens. If you where a Cuban or some other special interest group you would be given the red carpet treatment.

On August 23 2005 my own mother in law a 55 year old grandmother never married and guarding my home and business in the Cebu was told over the phone on the 909 number [ after 3 weeks of calling to get to talk to someone] to show up with her paperwork and get interviewed [ she speaks NO English & 909 number people advised her that a translator would be available ] guess what? Interviewers [ all 3 of them ] did not speak ANY Philippine languages and refused to even look at ANY paperwork she had. She was refused a visa on the grounds of  " Based on the information presented at the time of interview" that she did not qualify for a visa. They did not even look at one document! This sort of abuse must be stopped. Not only for my family but yours. If my company advertised a product or service and took your money and did not perform the service or product advertised they would be taken to court by the local district attorney. Does not the US Government have to abide by the same standards? It would seem not so!

10/17/05 update: one item above is not totally correct the interviews did speak Tagalog but really does not matter as my mother in law can only speak the Cebu dialect [ this information was in the cover letter they DID NOT read ] so it is a mute point. The only thing the poor old lady knows how to say in English is "sorry I do not understand" and this she was taught by family and told to give them the cover letter explaining everything. Have gotten a few replies from Embassy and if it was legal to post them I would as the person answering them surely does not have much of an education or does not give shit as this persons answers keep saying the Tagalog speaking interviews decided her case on information given at interview. Very interesting how a person that does not speak Tagalog or English can converse with some one who Speaks only English and Tagalog?

10/18/05 as expected my so called Congressman and the State Department do not want to help in this matter at all. Seems the Embassy personnel are GOD'S and no one wants to see justice done.

10/19/05 We have contacted a few media groups and after talking with an attorney we will find out if we can post e-mail's from The Manila Embassy and the State Department and Congressman's office to show their arrogance and " do not give a dam attitude" and not get shot or sued or break any US Codes or regulations by doing so as no matter what happens we will abide by US Laws and US Code even if the Embassy will not. We will continue to follow all Laws and regulations as we have in the past. We are most likely the ONLY such site that operates in the open and follow all Law's of both the Philippine Government and posted US Codes and Laws that are there to protect the Filipina and for that matter the American men who seek life time partners from the Philippines.

 At this point in the game we really do not expect the Consul to answer any more of my e-mails and logic states the "Government " will start to harass me  and do their best to shut me up. My family history say's this will not happen. My Mother's Family came over on the Mayflower and one of my Uncles was Davy Crockett and most all of the male members and a few female members of my family have all served in the Armed Services during War Time including me. I am an AMERICAN. It would be of great help if a TRUE American Provost Martial would take some interest in this matter. I am a 100% service Connected Disabled Veteran with MS so if they should do away with me no loss as they would just be putting me out of my pain and my Filipina Loving Wife would be set for life as I have very good Life Insurance. Our business was never intended to make BIG money but to help HONEST people with JUST reasons. We turn down more "business" then we take in as we are very selective as to our customers. If anyone reads our site rules you will understand we are not "Fly by Night" operators looking for a fast buck but are here to truly "serve" those who need legit help at a fair price. We only charge enough to stay in business. As soon as I can figure out how to do a posting page for the public to vent their dealings with Embassy's around the world I will do so so others can freely post what has happened to them. Most people do not know that any US Embassy can deny a visa of any type for any or NO reason with no legal recourse for the applicant. Currant USCIS regulations even practice religious discrimination as they require a Fiancé [ ee ] to marry the petitioner within 90 days, most all Philippine applicants are Roman Catholic and their Church requires a 6 months consoling procedure for them to Marry within the Catholic Church. This is not proper as it forces them to Marry outside their Religion. Also current US code calls for the sponsor to return the applicant if a marriage does not take place within 90 days but they do NOT enforce this as I have personally tried to make them force a sponsor to return a Filipina that was abused and abandoned and was told [ and i have it in writing ] that they do not bother with that as it is "small potatoes". A K-1/K-2 sponsor should be required to buy a round trip ticket so the applicant [s] have a way home as the "Government " does not enforce it's own rules unless it suits them. 90% of all online USCIS forms and guidelines have errors and incomplete information in them, this to me is not excusable as it only takes a few minutes to correct forms using a good PDF file program, We feel this is done to ensure there is always a reason to deport a person and or delay their entry to the USA. There is no excuse for ANY errors on a government site as I know when I was a government worker I was held to account for my work or lack of it! Another added problem with this process is that the Embassy will not count SSI income! This makes NO sense at all. Many people with MS or other problems are on SSI, this forces them to get a co sponsor,[ if they can find someone willing that is!] if the Embassy would use their brains they would figure out that counting SSI income and allowing a disabled man to bring over a true love that this true love would take care of him, become a working tax payer, and keep the guy out of an expensive nursing home that the government will have to pay for. Does not take a rocket scientist to figure this one out. There is a clear indication that the Embassy has orders to keep as many Filipino's out of American as they possibly can. Why? Simple economics. The Filipina goes about it the legal way and will work for 30 to 40 years and draw SS retirement which is costly to the US Government, they Love the "South of the Border" folks as they pay SS and income taxes but will never be able to get any of that back when they retire as they are here "illegal".

Our attorney has told us all e mails are public domain and therefore available to be posted click here for the Embassy's e mails. Run your mouse over the yellow post it type notes to get some good reading. I will soon post e mails from my so called Congressional Representative .

The cover letter she had with her and I snail mailed to Embassy and State Department click here

Another interesting fact, US Code Title 8 Chapter 12   212 (a)(6)(D) states:

"any alien who is a stowaway is inadmissible" funny how a Cuban woman who was a stowaway

on a incoming flight to Miami FL. week of Nov. 13 2005 was given permission to stay in the states

and will get a green card and most likely the normal $20,000 food stamps and rent vouchers that most

all Cubans get. And I can not get my son's grandmother to the states for Christmas!!!

Talk about double standards!!! Somebody has to do some thing about this crazy Immigration policy

that is only enforced when the Government wants to. The US Code involved does not give ANY

 exceptions to this rule.

You have our permission to post this document on any and all sites that can be of help.
