The American Red Cross has no role in bringing persons from another country into the United States, including the Philippines. Families wishing to bring relatives from the Philippines: The family member in the Philippines must go to the U.S. Embassy in Manila and apply for a nonimmigrant visa. U.S. law requires that people who apply for nonimmigrant visas provide evidence that they don't intend to immigrate to the United States. It's up to consular officers at U.S. embassies and consulates to determine eligibility on an individual basis on the merits of each case. For more information and to get an application, interested parties should call the Embassy. Calls within the Philippines, via PLDT: (909) 101-7878. Calls from outside the Philippines: (632) 843-8414
The American Red Cross may only explain the procedures to obtain a visitors visa from the Philippines, but the inquirer will need to take the necessary steps themselves.
