Dual Philippines citizenship and other questions

I'll just point out one thing. Your wife needs to travel on her new US passport until she files for dual citizenship and receives her new Philippine passport. Her old PH passport is null and void once she became a US citizen. Don't use the old PH passport to visit the Philippines.

I was stationed in Pearl Harbor for 4 years over 30 years ago. I vowed to never return. I've kept that vow.

Cebu Pacific had a one day Super Pass sale on Thursday the 28th. You could buy up to 10 passes for 99P each. When you book an upcoming flight, you apply the voucher and pay all the normal fees and taxes. I have purchased and used these vouchers or passes in the past.

I didn't think of that scenario. I reread and reinterpreted the phrase, "My lesbian wife...", and I now see what may have been asked. If she is a spouse in a same-sex marriage, then, yeah, she would need an onward ticket if she arrived with her spouse for the reasons detailed above.

Too much non-relevant info and not enough details. First, being a member of the Alphabet Tribe has no bearing on whether she needs a return ticket. Secondly, is she an American citizen? This would be simple: If she is a returning green-carded Filipino, then no. If she is an American (or non-Filipino), then yes. If she is a former Filipino, then no (Balkbayan). If you're Filipino and she is non-Filipino and you are traveling together, then no (Balikbayan) That covers all the scenarios I could think of. If she a crossdressing, gay, African-American, combat veteran with one leg and eye, the above still holds.

Good luck if you go the annulment route. You're looking at a couple of years and $5K+ (if you're lucky.) Mindanao judges have been fairly liberal in granting annulments in the past, but there have been crack downs on the process in the past. Either way, you'll need Pesos and patience.

I used to work in Trona nearly 20 years ago where you could see that peak. There are lot of interesting things (and dangerous) up in those mountains if you knew where to look. The company owned a limestone quarry due west of Telescope Peak. There was absolutely nothing around. There was nothing but rocks, sand, and scrub brush. It was utterly desolate. However, if you go up into the hills, you could find these little pockets where there would be artesian water flowing. It was both weird and amazing at the same time to discover a mini water fall or stream in the middle of nowhere.

I don't know which program you are using, but when I open the file in VLC I usually get a news program from Ukraine. I simply hit stop (the square), and then a list is shown. The link or file populates your playlist when you first open it. Whatever program you have, stop whatever is playing and look for the playlist. The playlist will have thousands of options. After that, use the search function to find what you're looking for. You could also simply scroll through all the channels from Accion Mexicana to Zoo Moo. Even farther if you can read Greek, Russian, Chinese, and/or Korean.

In an effort to answer the question, here is a possible solution. If she has a video player on her computer that supports live streaming such as VLC or KODI, there are free IPTV resources. Github has a collection of publicly available IPTV channels that can be streamed. I just looked, and there are 10,705 channels from all over the world. Different playlists are available that cull out what you want by category, country, language or region. To access, insert the following link into the requested URL for the network stream within the video program: https://iptv-org.github.io/iptv/index.m3u Once VLC or similar program opens the file, you will see all the links. Then you can find what floats your boat. I assume it somewhere between Fox and AL-Jazeera. No MSNBC, but there has to something in there that you approve of like CBS-LA.

May I suggest you turn on MSNBC. It might reduce your tantrums from alternate suggestions.

I got to say that 2 hours could be tight. If your international and domestic flights leave from the same terminal, it will be tight. You will have to hustle. Immigration varies from "ok" lines to "holy #######" this is ugly. It is dependent on time of day and number of flight arrivals. If you have to change terminals, then you really need to hustle and pray. One unknown is the new immigration procedures (they ask more questions) and how that may or may not affect the time to get through immigration. Worse case, you take the next flight to CDO. No big deal. Grab is your friend.

Given the combative nature of all of his posts, I believe he might be the guy who changes his forum name from time to time. I can't remember all the previous names, but I do recognize the writing style.
