US Immigration from Philippines

They said that about 50 countries will be exempt due to low vaccination rates. Does anybody know if the Philippines is on that list?

For those that have been following our journey.

It's been a long one. It started when we both met while I was on a long term work assignment in Makati. Then we had the long-distance relationship which had it's ups and downs. Eventually we were united and we started off happy.

That's when things got "interesting". Her jealous nature, my ignorance as to how certain things would be perceived and both of our needing to learn about each other. (Example: Going from a long-distance relationship to being married within 90 days has an adjustment period that will always catch by surprise). The other aspect was extended family causing issues for us as well. Combine this with my wife's insane temper and it was a rough ride for a bit.

I'm happy to say that I truly believe we are past the worst and we will have a very bright future. My wife really stepped up during some recent tragedies in the family, and of course she earned the respect of everyone in my extended family. More important than that however I think she's learned to bond and understand some members of my extended family. My wife has settled into her new job and is looking beyond that. She's become independent while also being a loyal and supportive wife.

I guess my points are: These things aren't easy. Paradise isn't free. Stick with it, never let each other go, and no matter how bad things can seem at some times, they can work out.

Thank you all here for your endless support and advice. It has been very much appreciated.

It will be my wife,, 2 children and I. I think we will be all set. We will get PCR tests in Manila on Wednesday. I chose that route because by using a State of Hawaii approved testing facility I will avoid a 10 day quarantine when we get to Hawaii. I will be bringing the following in my carry on backpack:

US passports for me and my sons.

PH passports or my wife and 2 sons. Wife's has visa inside.

Both sons CRBA and BC

Wedding Certificate.

CFO certificate.

I believe before they used to charge some sort of exit fee when leaving , but I think I remember that being included in your tickets now.

Anything else?
