I did try to fly my wife into Mexico last August.  We were just planning on spending a couple weeks in Cancun together.  Mexican Immigration at Mexico City denied her entry and sent her back to Germany on the same plane she came in on.  Left me waiting for her at the Customs exit.  Mexican Immigration shows utter contempt for Filipinas.  We quickly regrouped and detoured our vacation to Brazil where we were both treated awesome.  Lesson learned, don't try flying a Filipina into Mexico.  Not even for a vacation.

Imagine anything in the Philippines being a whole year behind and trying to catch up... it's gonna be rough.  I'm going to fly there and stay until the process is complete once tourist visas are allowed again.

I'm going to fly there and stay. I'll have to get my divorce recognized so we can be married there. The COVID delay has already messed up our tight plans with dealing with the kids. The boys really need someone now. I've become numb to missing her, but the kids have me crying if I dare think of it. She doesn't have the family support a lot of Filipinos have and the boys really need someone. There is no making up the time at their age. I feel stupid and guilty for ever leaving. What was supposed to be 6 months is now quickly becoming 2 1/2 years with no end in site. I fear things are changing so much, so quick, it may never happen.

How will you enter the Philippines? Do you qualify for one of the exemptions to enter? Or do you already have a visa?

 

You don't need to have you divorce recognized there as of late, read this thread :Local Notarization of Legal Capacity to Marry - Philippines - VisaJourney

He has to have it cleared or recognized on his Cenomar.

How does that happen?

 

He has never registered his marriage in the Philippines assuming he was married in the USA to a US Citizen before.

 

I would assume he would already have a cleared on CENOMAR, Doesn't cenomar basically say the person is single?

He can’t enter now unless he has a spouse or biological kids and they enter the country with him.  They need to be on the same flight now. They aren’t letting anyone enter if the spouse or kids are already in the Philippines. This requirement is likely not changing for another 3-6 months or longer. He also needs a preexisting visa so meeting in a 3rd country to then enter the Philippines can also create some difficulties. 

The United States is now a country obsessed with the worship of its own ignorance.  Americans are proud of not knowing things.  They have reached a point where ignorance, is an actual virtue.  To reject the advice of experts is to assert autonomy, a way for Americans to insulate their increasingly fragile egos from ever being told they're wrong about anything.  It is a new Declaration of Independence: no longer do we hold these truths to be self-evident, we hold all truths to be self-evident, even the ones that arent true.  All things are knowable and every opinion on any subject is as good as any other.  The fundamental knowledge of the average American is now so low that it has crashed through the floor of "uninformed", passed "misinformed", on the way down, and now plummeting to "aggressively wrong."

You need to have her check with their LCR for requirements. There is no consistent rules and each locality will have different rules. Don't play the guessing/assumption game as to what is needed. Have her find out directly from where the marriage will be registered. Then plan accordingly.

I have booked two trips to Mexico, one in June and September. Hitting Cancun first then Rivera Maya next.  We are coming from USA and mine Filipina has a  Greencard so I don't think we will have a problem.

 

Hotel is offer free antigen test the day you leave to meet the requirement to enter back into the USA.  I am hoping they will start waiving that requirement if you can show your fully vaccinated by then, but who knows.

No surprise that those who come here legally and have endured this most invasive and costly process are disrespected by the very government that made the rules for them and then allows the rules to be broken by illegal migrants.

not sure if i like the direction this conversation is going...and im a kind of a noobie

 

the disdain for immigrants who have more of a claim to be here than your grandparents

 

i am southern ute/taos pueblo.... those may not be my people but they are like "half-cousins".....do not let the system that is disappointing you  harden your heart towards another populace out of anger and frustration

 

first of all illegal immigrants cant vote and dont vote....regardless of what the MAGA crowd tells you....and it takes a few generations for them to start voting......and that does not mean they will vote a certain way or another.....look at cuban immigrants of the 70s....how do their grandchildren vote? surprised many people didnt it?

 

when you say they take up "our" resources and benefits that means also my place to speak since you say "our"

 

truth is we are owed TRILLIONS in backrent and still getting screwed.....the largest legal debt the usa has but largely ignored and not even factored in politics, budgets ect ect ect....none of you are legit citizens until you pay up....up to that point you are the equivalent of generational squatting

 

so until you all pay backrent or show proof of enrollment in a legit federally recognized tribe maybe its good that you all personally have no sway over outcomes of immigrants you show contempt for yet you so eagerly await sleeping with immigrants who an not any less of immigrants as those you show disdain for....if you can make sense of that

 

sorry....i aint trying to get banned and know i am newbie.... but i dont let this stuff slide either.......EVER!!!

Note my name.  How much Native American blood is required to live in your world?

Finally done.

I don't think you understand what most of us are saying, or speaking only for myself what I am saying.  I try to understand the plight of the immigrant, and think that there should be a program to help them, but that is wishful thinking since the help would have to come from my Government and they can't get the immigration program working the way it should let alone the migrant problem.  We are all God's Children.
