Subject: DTV Medical (Pending) - 3 Month Fund History Question

Profile: Filipina, Unemployed, Sponsored by American Partner (Retired Visa holder).

Category: DTV Medical (Dental Treatment Plan).

Agent: Thai Agent.

Timeline & Issue:

Dec 19, 2025: Funds (1M PHP) completed in my personal bank account.

Dec 25, 2025: Applied via Agent (submitted Dental plan, Relationship proof, & Sponsor’s bank docs).

Jan 22, 2026: Status became 'Pending/Paused'.

The Reason: Embassy is strictly requiring a 3-month bank statement history of the 500k THB equivalent in my own account. My funds were only 1 month old during review.

Plan:

I am currently in Thailand as a tourist. I will fly back to the Philippines and re-apply on March 18, 2026, once my funds reach the 3-month mark.

Questions:

Has any Filipina/sponsored applicant been approved after being "Pending" for the 3-month rule?

Is March 18 a safe date to re-apply, or should I wait longer?

TLDR : Answer Summary
A Filipina applicant sponsored by an American partner is facing a pending status on her DTV Medical application due to the requirement of a 3-month bank statement history. Having only one month worth of funds at the time of review, she plans to re-apply after 3 months. Community members discuss their experiences with similar situations, the difficulties of the current DTV visa process, and whether her planned re-application date of March 18 will be appropriate.

Suggest you apply using a Soft Power Activity... NOT dental.

I'm already under the Medical category (Soft Power) with a solid treatment plan; my only issue was the 3-month fund history.

Earlier when DTV visa was first issued it was easy to get the DTV visa for dental... with a simple appointment... BUT now it is much more difficult. Extensive supporting documents from the doctor, dentist is needed with a plan for dental care over many MONTHS.

DTV_BegPecker My agent is handling the portal, and they received the request for a 3-month transaction history directly from the Embassy's feedback. I'm applying through the Manila Embassy, which is known to be stricter with Filipina applicants compared to other locations.

it is that I if you don’t meet the requirements, including not having the money long enough, they usually reject you. So it is surprising that they would just defer your application for months. Usually after a certain amount of time an application automatically closes. Do you trust your agent?
