lifting of BLACKLIST....does it lift after 5years or never...?

Hi! Good day, I've read your post regarding your name being lifted in the blacklist,  may i know how much did you spent in order for your to successfully do that, im also in the same situation, my gf is pregnant i want to comeback. Also want to get in touch with your lawyer. Thank you so much in advance.

Yyy

Request a clearance certification at Bureau of immigration

Does anyone have any updated info on lifting Blacklist in Philippines

Please send me names to good lawyer. I need some help

Can you message me with email? The forum censored it.

I need help.

Was blacklisted almost 2 years ago for telling the immigration officers they were a bunch of goddamn morons. There is a list of infractions on a government website with a prescribed period of blacklisting. In the case of discourteous behavior it is one year lol the same for prostitution. There is no publication of The Blacklist. One must hire an attorney and they will arrange  for you to write a letter of apology directly to the immigration officer who filed the complaint. The attorney will obtain the name of the offended or charging immigration officer. Inturn the letter of apology will be forwarded to the officer who can you choose to accept it, ignore it or decline it. If it is not accepted the chances of the case moving up to the commissioner is slim to none. In my case the apology was accepted and forwarded on to management. Management then requested Authentication of the acceptance by the supervisor of the offended immigration officer even though the letter of acceptance included a photocopy of the officers badge. The infraction took place in the airport at Cebu. Now nearly six months later still there is no Authentication being provided by the supervisor to the main office in Manila. So yes you are reading correctly, six months to process one letter. My attorney based in Manila has done diligent job and thus far cost $700. As I understand it if and when the time comes I will have to pay directly to the Bureau of immigration $1,000 in a release fee. I offered through my attorney to grease the wheels i e a bribe which is standard operating procedure for most agents. She refused to get involved with any sort of incentives. Commendable on her part none the less history shows this is how the BI operates. So is a matter of hurry up and wait. My Filipina wife warned me that probably nothing would be done or it would take years. I hope he was ever trying to seek relief of The Blacklist has better luck than I have.

You are lucky they didn't throw you in prison. Choose your battles wisely.

hope this helps

Only an observation but there are lessons to be learnt from this post, plenty of others both here and and other sites. Don't do it. We are the sheep and fall in line and little else. Not in Kansas now Dorothy.
Would you swear at your mother? Father? The law in your own country? Always remember "Filipino first" here and a somewhat proud nation won't take sh*t from blow ins that think they are special coming from another country on an aeroplane with luggage and attitude.
Civility costs nothing. A smile and friendly demeanour wins the day,,,,,,,,,, In saying all that? I have never been accosted by immi nor customs in the 9 years back and forward,,,, some 20 plus times over the years.

If you want to get blacklisted be an A hole, that will work.

OMO.

Cheers, Steve.

Steve,
It's common knowledge that the BI agents have been and are Shakedown artists. Not to split hairs but no one swore at them. I stated what is in fact a fact. Witness 6 months to process 2 letters. There are countless stories like mine online. It's obvious that the system is broken. But complacency and Corruption pervades all systems and Society there in the Philippines.

Yes, I should have perhaps held my tongue and forked over the money with no questions asked.

Thank you for the information. Yes, that website describes the unfortunate process as a mirror to my circumstances.

Yes 'When in Rome' but its always easy with hindsight.

Just a thought. I recently renewed my old EU passport for a new UK one 

Yes my date of birth and personal details naturally are the same but the passport number is different. My surname is quite common. How does the Philippine Immigration or any other country's immigration IT system cross reference for a match?

I would assume full name and date of birth.

Hey did u write a letter to head of commisioner? Why its taking for them to lift ur name?😱

@Suphil1986  Hi may I have a contact of your lawyer I just to remove my name from being blacklisted

@Suphil1986  Hello can you pm me the contact number of your attorney

@PCLUK I have had the same problem. Is it anyone who knows how to get off the ban? Thanks, Kenneth

I am blacklisted because I was arguing with immigration officer. I had overstayed two day without knowing it. The embassy made a mistake.

@Suphil1986 i did pm you

OMO but most expats/visitors know to never argue with any government official as you have learnt, turns into heartache and heaps of cash. Should have simply apologized, paid any fines and no black ban.

Good luck.

Cheers, Steve.

Kenneth four things you don't do.

(1) Pull Superman's Cape

(2) Spit into the wind

(3) Argue with an immigration officer

(4) Ask what happen to whats-his-name.

Haha mate.. "seen him sharing his contentious little quips".. perhaps more akin to carpet-bombing his latest novels?

@PalawOne

hahaha. right on point. that too, i'm afraid !

but seriously though. i wonder what happened to him...

Regardless we all have opinions left or right, I have my thoughts and slapped many times but the member in question most times offers interesting and alternative options and a pat on the back for his insights and thoughts even if we disagree,. His opinion, as we all have.

Cheers. Steve.
