I must not be educated enough to understand this. He clearly said, sometimes the reason they don't even conduct a full interview or look at your paperwork, is because (1) this is the first time they're traveling outside the Philippines and (2) they have a pending immigration visa.

wtaf could that possibly mean? The US wants experienced travelers only? There's a higher risk with 1st time travelers... for... something to go wrong? Oh but the next one is incredible. What group of people, out of all the people in the entire world, have the biggest paper trail, background checks, approvals, information, etc. before coming to the US... VISA applicants. But clear as day he said they're not even considered if they have a pending immigration visa. So, just approve the people that have an obvious higher chance of sneaking in?

Am I dreaming?

Until the US and Philippines have identical immigration policies, there can't be a claim of great friendship.
