  1. My Filipino in-laws came last year. Luckily they are 59 and 62 and both wanted to work with my wife at Amazon Air so they ended up with insurance from Amazon at a very cheap rate (and $22hr loading aircraft containers with packages). Probably not going to work in your case with parents in the 70's, but might help other's in similar situations.
  2. Brought wife through DFW no issues. FIL came through JFK no issues Flew with my MIL through LAX last April, line was 15 minutes, secondary was 30 min. Could have been shorter but family before us was hiding money on themselves and kids, ended up not declaring $44k in cash. Was entertaining to watch.
  3. Had to do it twice, once for FIL and once for MIL last year. Both were because of long delays with Sputum and full TB treatment and yet another Sputum FIL took 10 weeks MIL just under 2 weeks
  4. No consent needed and they all flew back with me same time. Its really not an issue, you'll be fine.
  5. Same situation but wife had daughter with fathers last name. No marriage and no participation on fathers part. Nothing needed extra at embassy or airport. Zero issues.
  6. If a big church wedding including her family is important to her then K1 would not be the choice as highly doubtful any of her family would be getting visas to attend that wedding in the US. It's been 10 years for us but I went in May the year we were married and completed the paperwork, then back again in August for the wedding. It's been awhile but I thought there was an expiration date of the license (180 days?) so plan carefully. You do marry the whole family My household size grew by two last year as now the in-laws live here.
  7. My FIL was a Philippine Marine for 20 years. We listed every base move on his DS260 as well and the same for MIL.
  8. Father in law was 141 days, mother in law was around 40 days.
  9. Visa expiration is tied to medical and expires 6 months from the date of medical. If you get the medical in January and a visa in May you'll have a month before it expires. My in-laws went through Sputum, MIL twice, and as I recall the medical validity post Sputum results was only 3 months.
  10. I think I miss PI. Just paid $17.99 a six pack for red horse and San Miguel, $13.99 for San Miguel dark.
  11. Unmarried mother has full custody in Philippines. No permission required.
  12. Same company makes a $3 bottle of rum too
  13. The etravel you need to fill out to get a QR code only asks about your first two (or one in the case of JJ) shots, at least as of April when I traveled last.
  14. I pay 3000 for a private car from NAIA to Trece Martires every trip I take. It's only gone up 500p in the last 9 years.
  15. You can believe the SM mall guys, but the Robinson mall guys always lie.
  16. No worries. SLEC will do a test and give the vaccines you are missing (if any) at your medical.
  17. I was there in April, no requirement I was also there in December and had to wear one.
  18. Father in law came in November and it took 148 days for his card Mother in law came in April and it took 42 days. Seems to be all over the place.
  19. Over 60? No session, file, print and go
  20. My mother in law has high blood pressure and arrived from the Philippines on IR5 in early April. No issue.
  21. Carlos We had to request twice, one each, for my inlaws last year. For my FIL my wife would call the embassy every two weeks with the request, they would normally tell her it's been escalated and wait 39 days, but she was told about two months in that no action was taken and they would start a new escalation. In all it took four months for him. For my MIl we used the SLEC link that was posted above for healthcare inquiry. We checked daily after filling it out and 8 days later it showed approved and allowed us to schedule her medical. This was all mid to late 2022 timeframe.
