I know many were asking the same question but do you have any info or updates about K1 whose application ready at the embassy?  The official website in Manila updates once a week and answered autoreply once in 3weeks. 

 

I heard people say hopefully March 2021 embassy will start giving k1 schedule but  i dont know if its true. 

 

Thanks.

The assumption was if Manila went to MGCQ (the lowest quarantine) on March 1st then the embassy may consider expanding their services.  If Manila does go to MGCQ and the Embassy still doesnt open up more, then its pretty much a guaranteed they wont resume regular services until everything is back to normal.  Just recently, there has been alot of pushback from health officials to not go to MGCQ on March 1st and to wait until the majority are vaccinated which wouldnt occur until well into next year.  I think alot will depend on the decisions made in the next 2 weeks. 

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."

Metro Manila mayors voted 9-8 in favor of moving to MGCQ Match 1st.  Hopefully the powers that be approve their wish.  At least it gives us a date for something to hope for.  Cross your fingers...

Hopefully it will go to MGCQ. If that will not trigger USEM to ramp up processing, then we can probably say goodbye to any real movement at USEM until mass vaccination starts in the PH.

If the embassy has not vaccinated all staff probably well under 200 and resumed activity by now its just a bunch of bullshit. We all go to work and do our jobs, Why would we expect the government officials that our tax money pays for to get to work!

It would take several years to vaccine half of the population. It's not a fast process in a country like the Philippines. The US has already vaccined nearly 60 million people in the past two months... Just shy of half the population of Philippines.

This is BS.. 

 

. "The movement of people in MGCQ areas will be limited to accessing essential goods and services, work in the offices or industries, and other activities permitted to operate.

Who is not allowed to go out?

Persons below 15 years old, senior citizens or those over 65 years old, those with immunodeficiency, comorbidities, or other health risks, and pregnant women will be required to stay home at all times."

60 million is the number of doses given, but not the number vaccinated.  But yes, I agree that in the Philippines it will take until at least 2023 or beyond to do that.

60 million is not even half the population in USA there are 328 million people here so that number of 60 for being half is wrong.

They were implying the 60 million as half of the Philippines population and not the US.  However, there will be much less vaccinated in the Philippines as no kids for now will get it.

Vaccination on any scale will not start until the 4th quarter this year and any significant portion of the population being vaccinated will not occur until at least mid 2022......at the earliest.

The Philippines response to Covid is a key reason in our decision to leave the Philippines.  Children have been locked up like animals.  I can understand the extra precautions for elderly and sick people, but not children.  Yes, it will pass eventually, but has highlighted for us the downsides of living here, especially for my children.
