US Immigration from Philippines

Hi, does anyone know what site I could go to to check the current entry/departure status of the Philippines and US given all the country-based COVID restrictions?

My wife wants her mom (82 years old) to come visit us in the US someday but we don't know how to find out:

• is the Philippines even allowing citizens to leave the country? If so, what do they need to go through? quarantine before departure? covid test?
• is the US even accepting Philippine citizens right now? If so, is there a quarantine upon arrival?
• is the US even addressing Tourist visa's right now?

Similarly, we would like to know when we can go visit her family in the Philippines. Is the US allowing departures and is the Philippines allowing citizens and non-Filipino citizens (me) to enter?

I appreciate anyone who explains the current state of things to us, but it would be nice if there was a site like USCIS or Philippine embassy or something where we could check regularly.

Thanks!!!

Hello vj members. I sent expedite request (Manila Embassy) last Apri 30, 2021. I got an auto reply reply same day but it has been 10days and I am not getting any acknowledgement from NVC.

most people says they get an acknowledgement 4-5 days that it is forwarded to the embassy and after few more weeks, they got another reply whether the expedite is approved or not.

I looked at past VJ threads with the same topic but wanted to be 100% sure.

I have an appointment next month with the PH embassy in Washington DC to renew my passport and register for overseas voting.

My questions are:

1. Will the Embassy take my current passport? Or will they just punch holes in it and let me keep it?

2. I will likely take a flight from Washington DC and back. In case I am asked for an ID for the domestic flight from DC to home, I assume I won't be able to use my PH passport with holes punched in it. I don't have any other state ID, but I do have a couple of IDs from my home country (PH driver's license and UMID card). Would those do?

My wife is back in manila to get final results on culture after 2 month sputum, our original interview was on march 26th but got pushed off cause of sputum, she was told when she comes back to head straight to vaccination before getting results.

I would like to know if culture is good how do we re-Schedule interview and if we are classified priority or what would the prognosis be for getting interview done passport and visa before medical expires? She was told she has to fly out no later then August 7th, kind of worried do not want to do another medical and wait another year or two yet. Been two yrs since we got married in the Phils already and one hell of a cost.

Hello,

If a minor receives a K2 visa during the time when their K1 recipient mother does not have AP or greencard yet, would the husband of the child's mother need a SPA special power of attorney to be able to accompany her child on the travel from Philippines to US?
