The best thing to do Tina is to have your nanny book an appointment for the interview as early as possible. The processing of the visa after the approval would take less than a month from what I can remember. It doesn’t matter when are you guys having a vacation but you can include that in a letter (like what I did) for the interview. The agent did read the letter of my employer back then. It includes the itinerary (but haven’t booked yet).

Hi Carolyn, I am planning to have my nanny apply for a US Tourist visa in Calgary. How long is the processing time after interview? I’m asking so we can plan our vacation and bring the nanny along. Thanks!

I’m guessing here Shelle. I think you would be able to use the US Visa if you are to leave from the Philippines although it was issued in Toronto. To clarify, is it possible for you to contact the US Embassy in the Philippines via email or social media. Can you let us know the outcome.

Relax. Relax. Relax and also bring all the requirements. There will be an inspection as if you are in the airport. I remember taking off my belt. The interview wouldn’t take long so be polite and have patience waiting for your turn. You’ll probably wait for an hour then be interviewed for 10 minutes. Nothing to worry about. Good luck!

Hi! thank you so much for your reply. I pretty much have everything ready for printing. However, I will be going there alone so I am a bit anxious about my personal belongings. Yikes! any tips for sole applicants?

Thank you so much!
