If she owns land and has a business, but does not have a substanial amount of money in the bank, what are her chances of getting a visa to visit the United States? She already has her passport

money deposited in the bank is not the only proof of your financial capacity to visit america. sometimes they do not and will not ask you to show them your bank deposits because they know that people do manipulate bank documents to make them appear as if they have money in the bank.

It depends on how much money her business is making. I personally know a lady who managed a farm, owned her house, no mortgage, and had $ 3000.00 in the bank. She was denied a visa. If your friend makes $ 40,000 or $ 50,000 a year she might get a visa. The test is would she be better off if she stayed in America. For most Philippine people they would be much better off in America. The the answer for the visa is no. I do also personally know of a rich Philippine lawyer, who also owns a chicken farm. He has been here several times. He also had enough money to send one of his daughters to college in America. He would be considered well off even by American standards. Those are the people that they give visas to. The average Philippine has Zero chance of getting a tourist visa.

I think it would be hard, especially now. I agree that if you sponsor her, that will elevate her chances. To be given a visa, you must have a good job and substantial assets especially if you are in the working bracket of age.

slim to none.....but i can tell you how we brought a relative over from the phils.....we petitioned her ..we said that she had a part in a wedding....we had an attorney and one of our local cogressman write a letter promising her return....and proof that we would support her financial needs and her airfare...and proof of financial records...she had to get a work certificate there from her employer....she got a 3 week visa....and we did really have a wedding....maybe for you this is an idea...maybe say she has a part in a family function...it took awhile...but it worked..just have lots of proof
