How to Plan for the Possibility of your Filipina Getting Offloaded

[Kano in Manila 1]

Is there anything you can do to not lose all the money you spent on airfare and hotel if your Filipina partner gets offloaded at the airport? Somewhere I saw someone mention getting trip insurance that would cover being offloaded but I have never found insurance that offers this coverage. The risk of getting offloaded seems rather impossible to predict since it depends so much on the decision of whichever immigration officer does the screening. Is there any strategy to not lose all your money if she is offloaded, assuming you don’t plan to travel alone if it happens?

I am going the Utah Online Wedding route and I want to take her on a short trip to Thailand or Singapore afterwards. I am very paranoid about her being offloaded. Can I print the marriage certificate I am emailed and get that apostilled? What difficulties could I face? Thanks in advance.

Apostilled where? You ask for apostille from the issuing authority - in this case it would be Utah.

And State Department is not the right address: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/records-and-authentications/authenticate-your-document/apostille-requirements.html

The more research I do about this the more confused I get. We have been emailed our marriage certificate. I understand that getting the report of marriage from the PSA is now a lengthy process. If we try to travel somewhere like Thailand or Singapore before we have the ROM is the immigration officer going to consider us married based on our Utah Marriage certificate? Thanks!

I wouldn't even attempt it if it were me. Wait till she gets her visa. Go there and exit with her and take your vacation then head on to USA.

Offloading is a Governmental process and whilst I am not familiar with the Philippines Insurance Market I doubt that any Travel Insurance policy would cover it. Not sure how you would rate it, would it be against public policy?
