Hello everyone!

I would like to ask/inquire regarding the requirements/needed to travel to USA with my dual citizen daughter. I am preparing for our travel needs as I am waiting for my visa to be delivered to me from the US Embassy Manila. I know we need the negative PCR or antigen tests as I have been reading alot in this forum and that I also need a CFO sticker. Don't know what else we might need, do we need travel insurance or anything else?

I would be happy to hear from you especially to those who just travelled in a K1 visa with a child.

Thanks you!

I didn't think to send any pics along with our 485 so I'm wondering if that's a problem. I guess I can upload some now if need be. We've been married 12 years and and have a half dozen or more visa stamps entering and departing the US together. (B-2). I figured if they really want them she could have them look through her phone for a billion or so pics from past trips.

Hello VJ members,

So my wife wants to bring her parents over to the US to visit, with a target date of the holidays.

I have three questions:

1. Is the Manila embassy open for business or still closed due to the pandemic? If it is the latter, is there yet an established target date for reopening?

2. Balancing between any COVID-19 processing delays and our holiday 2021 target, when should we start the application process?

3. For FYI purposes, in case pandemic restrictions derail any travel plans in 2021 and pushes our target date, how long is a tourist visa valid for once it is issued?

Thank you for answering my questions!
