Are you planning on leaving the US to move to another country or will you be back in the near future?

Best asked in the Philippines forum.

As I understand it, the BB stamp makes it so you don't have to do anything with immigration for a year. If you need to extend after that year, you need to go and do the conversion and extension stuff at least a week before your year is up. Till then you're all good.

You can only do DCF if you reside in the Philippines, not if you're visiting.

A bb stamp will work for DCF. If you're just going to head to Disney for vacation, then come back so you can get the bb, no issues with residency. Just have your other residency proofs. Bills, bank account, etc. Just need to show you've been living here for 6 months.
