The visa process is something that you can do yourself, both USCIS** and USEM*** say so on their websites. Yet it is a daunting experience for those trying to wade through the myriad of forms and documents.
Why is Visa Connection only Philippines? In the beginning every petition is processed the same at USCIS.
It is when the approved petition is forwarded to the embassy that things change! Every embassy has their own "process" for the actual visa application, and this is where good guidance for one embassy becomes bad guidance for another. There are many unique challenges, call them hurdles if you like, to completing the visa process and finally board that airplane to the USA from the Philippines. Many of these hurdles are unique to the Philippines, so why would you want to use generic guidance, only to be sent down a wrong path?
There is an old saying "Jack of all trades, master of none".
In the visa process experience is the best teacher. Have you ever done a thing only to have that epiphany* upon completion saying "If only I had known that earlier I would have done it different!" ? This "knowing" can save you weeks if not months completing the visa process.
This is what Visa Connection Philippines is about. SAGOT!!
* a moment when you suddenly feel that you understand, or suddenly become conscious of something that is very important to you.
