thanks for replying. my daughter is now 18 years old and she applied as my dependent when she was 17. her visa was refused in september 2010 because of "sole responsibility" reasons. i went home to the Philippines in October to gather proofs that I am solely responsible for her and that my mom is only getting instructions from me. got witness statements, remittance receipts, school records to show that I accompanied her to enroll in a school and with my signature on it. I just want to ask help on how they conduct the hearing and how do I present my facts. Thank you
