US Immigration from Philippines

I met a Filipina online and we have been chatting every day x2 per day since October of 2020. She appears to be a very good person and I have emotional attachment to her. The pandemic prevents me from going there to meet her. From my viewpoint, it looks like the pandemic will go on for years and regardless of Covid and its variants, we will never go back to 'normal'. I see legal immigration for foreign spouses getting more difficult, expensive and time consuming and its just not feasible to fly her to Mexico and have her walk into the US like the last million illegals that did so. Certainly waiting times, restrictions, fees and requirements will just get worse too so, I think its best to forget meeting this woman and the idea of marriage, immigration etc is looking bleak, at least for now. I know she will be hurt if I break it off with her and I will be hurt too but I just can't see a way through. I don't even know if the feelings we have are real or based on reality because we have not actually met yet.

What good reasons are there for going through all the trouble, money, time and effort to go to the other side of the world to meet her? I can just imagine that if flights and tourism open up in the Philippines, it could easily all be shut down within hours should they decide another 'wave' of the virus suddenly appear, or if China invades Taiwan and war breaks out, leaving me trapped in the Philippines which would be a death sentence for me. What are your thoughts? Is it worth it? Do you see the future as bright and full of hope? I don't. Change my mind.

Hi everyone, I just want to asked if a 12 year old child need a swab test or negative result flying back to the US? Today is my child's 12 birthday and I finally able to bring her to the States. Our flight is on Monday August 2.

Thank you for reading and appreciate all the answers.

Interview is August 12. Please pray they don't shut down Manila before that.

Want to say sorry for the bickering back and forth on the visa issue post i had made but i did nothing to deserve the berating that paul guy was giving me, i tried to keep from cursing, but after being called what he called me there and in a personal message i had enough, please accept my apologies all.

My Father-in-Law was an OFW most recently in KSA, but due to cuts made during the pandemic he was sent home. He was not able to obtain a Police clearance. What is the best course of action? He has also lived in Jordan and Qatar both over 12 months, does anyone have info on how to obtain police clearance for those countries when you're not there physically?
