I'm finding some information that says the purpose of the NBI clearance must be "travel abroad", but these seem to be older posts and there is nothing on the ph.usembassy.gov website that says the NBI clearance must be a "travel abroad" clearance. My wife's NBI clearance states "multipurpose" and also it expires about 2 weeks after the interview. Does any of this matter? Will they accept "multipurpose" for the interview and what about the CFO? Does she need an unexpired clearance to enter the US? Thank you.

Hello guys. My fianc is coming here to the USA. I just want to ask if there s anyone who just traveled here recently and knows what are the updated requirements needed in immigration? She will travel from Philippines to LA. I just want to make sure my fianc have every documents she need.

She currently has the following:

Passport
Visa
Yellow Packet
CD
Ticket
Vaxx card
Vaxx cert
Rt pcr test
Travel tax payments
CFO cert
BOI form
CDC form

Anything else we missing?

Thank you for your time!

I thought we were to get those after VISA is issued, but I saw someone denied and needed to provide it to Embassy? Who besides me needs this? Does anyone know if my other 20 year old daughter leaving for Mexico on student visa, will need one?

My story of driving in the Philippines, would love to hear yours.

When I visit, I love the freedom of having a car to drive anywhere, wherever. We like to stay in out-of-the-way places without constant trikes, jeepneys, etc. We like to go to the palengke at 6am. We like to get ihaw at 10pm. It's been well worth the hassle to rent a car for all the time I have visited the Philippines.

My fiancee lives in Pampanga, and during our visits, we've always stayed on the big island Luzon. Subic, Zambales, 100 Islands, Vigan, Baler, Tagaytay, Mabini and other places, so no ferries or planes. Driving in the provinces is great. It's still not what Americans are used to, but it's easy. Manila is a nightmare.

There are very few signs in Manila, so I often exit a highway when I shouldn't. The globe/smart coverage is spotty, so Google or Waze cannot be relied on completely. Obviously there is so...much...traffic. Defensive driving is #1.

In 2019, I was in stop-and-go traffic in Manila, and a police officer on foot flagged me over to the side of the road. I only realized later that he saw a foreigner and fabricated some kind of offense I had committed. He took my California driver license and said I need to come back to some municipal building in a week to pay the fine and get my DL back. But surprise, there was an option to settle it immediately for 4500 pesos. I would not be returning to Manila then, so I opened my wallet and (thankfully) I only had 2000 pesos. He accepted the 2k, gave me back my license, and sent me on my way.

Two days ago, I was driving in Manila in stop-and-go traffic (sound familiar?) and was flagged down by a police officer. I already knew. I also remembered that I had about 8000 pesos in my wallet at that time, which was a stupid thing to do. Long story short- the same exact thing occurred, but this time I had the money and he saw it when he took my DL. He got me for 7k pesos.

The moral of my story is that it's very rewarding to be self-driving when visiting the Philippines, but beware of metro Manila. If you look like a foreigner and a police officer has the chance, you'll likely be pulled over and have to give up whatever money is in your wallet. I have a new rule: maximum 2k in my wallet when I'm driving.

Do you have any experiences to share?
