1. Will you process the Visa application and what are the requirements?
We can guide you through the process and provide a supporting endorsement letter. However, participants must apply directly to the US embassy.
2. Is it required to have a parent/guardian to accompany the student?
All traveling minors are required by the Philippine government to be accompanied by either a parent or duly appointed guardian authorized through the DSWD. Please note that parents are not required to accompany their child or register for the program. There will also be school representative/s who will serve as the adult leader/s for this program.
3. Can the companions both stay in the same hotel where the students are staying?
Yes, it is possible to stay in the same hotel as your child. You may book separate reservations directly. However, your child will be staying in a room arranged exclusively for HASSE participants.
4. Can we still join even if we decide to transfer school for Grade 11?
Your child may still join the program even if you decide to transfer schools for Grade 11.
