A: Are you trying to petition them on a fiance visa? If so, the requirements are quite a bit different than that. There is no such $10,000 requirement and often such requests are earmark of a visitor visa scam. The US Embassy in Philippines is unique in its financial requirements for immigrant based petitions, you should definitely contact an experienced immigration attorney for assistance.
