Chiming back in here. 1. BI processes move very very slow. Blacklist/Watchlist removal takes time but can be done. (Been there, done that) 2. Those in charge at the BI are Attorneys. 3. BI Attorneys deal with other Attorneys - not you. 4. Use of a ... Read More

Need advice to live with separated girl by Stemik62
Hi everyone. I have been in a relation for 2 years with a girl who is separated. I was thinking of moving there with her. But I have heard stories warning me of this. Is it true about extortion, being arrested, and maybe death? Her ex has another ...
Paying her legal husband P50K (given they are even legally married) will do nothing to make things okay. You obviously have doubts and should go with you gut instinct. However, love is blind. Stay off dating sites, where I presume you first met her. ... Read More
Expat Meet-Up? by Skiffle
Hi We are currently in Davao City and would love to meet new expat's around the area. Maybe have coffee and meet-up to share ideas and have great conversation! Thanks W and C :)
Wadja, you might not have meant "prohibited", but no foreign embassy can prohibit their own citizens from traveling anywhere in the Philippines - they can only communicate travel warnings. Embassies can only restrict or prohibit there own ... Read More

I believe you are right on that, Bob. Overstay for 18 years....FUBAR. Ridiculous they would have even quoted that cost. I bet a good attorney could sort that next to nothing based upon humanitarian consideration. There are those in the BI that ... Read More

We asked the immigration about my case and they said we need to pay roughly about 600,000 pesos.Do you mean you asked the Manila US Embassy immigration service? Or you asked a Filipino immigration attorney? Please clarify what immigration service ... Read More

Nothing has changed but the double-standard is that the Philippine courts will accept the EU divorce for you but not for your ex-wife. You can freely get married again in the Philippines if you wish but your Filipina ex-wife must still go through ... Read More

Because I am at security risk if I meet her on Mindaneo (even Davao)Unless wife resides in an ARMM region province, you are not at such a security risk as you many think. Even in light of the current Martial Law down south, expats still travel ... Read More

As far as I understand, an Immigration Dept of most any country can deny a person entry (or re-entry) with no legal obligation to provide a reason. It is pointless writing the PH government or your government; an exercise in futility for your ... Read More

To follow on tikipii's note, the chat in that link references the BI "2. Prescriptive Periods to Lift Blacklist (SMB-2014-001)". I do not see how the PH attorney's you used were not able to discover your blacklist term as would be ... Read More

You should have a copy of the Black List Order and Watch List Order, which would provide the charge(s) and under which PH Act. Would also show the blacklist period. A five year blacklist order doesn't sound right for just swearing at a BI ... Read More
