Blacklisted in the Philippines

Post new topic

Need some advises!! My husband was granted to be refugee in Philippines but immigration still havent got his name out of blacklist .he was blacklisted due to overstaying. We already wrote a formal letter to the commisioner to lift his name does anyone know how long it will take?

was he granted refugee status before or after the black list ?

if he over stayed, got black listed and then given refugee status afterward. I think you can just bring that up at your local PH embassy rather than writing to the commissioner

You can wait and see if you get a reply, but given the current COVID crisis, you'll probably just have to be patient.

How did you send the mail ? just FB or email? They probably get flooded with so much mail, it gets overlooked (dont quote me on this). If you have the finances, you can hire a lawyer in the PH and I'm sure he/she can have it sorted pretty quick.

You can do a search using keyword "black list" on this forum, there are a few topics already.
