There is both a garage and a surface parking lot.

I have no idea how it works in connection with the DS160. I do know that it would be discussed in the interview. Have a look at this for what I mean: https://www.boundless.com/immigration-resources/how-to-prove-strong-ties-b1-b2-travel-visa/

When interviewing for a visa, they look for ties to the Philippines that would bring them back. Are there more incentives for them to return than to stay in the in US? So all ties such as jobs, businesses, relatives, property ownership, investments, and various other commitments help bolster the belief that they would return. Having a house is just one of many factors that create a belief that they will return.

In my experience, EVA Airlines is an excellent airline. The only horrible thing I can think of is the Hello Kitty themed gate area in Taiwan.

Here is an alternative if you decide on becoming a world traveler: https://apply.joinsherpa.com/travel-restrictions?affiliateId=sherpa&language=en-US Any place to any other place, this covers it.

The best place I have found for information is the airlines, as they are the gate keepers. Try this link, and enter your info: https://www.philippineairlines.com/en/covid-information-hub/covid-requirements

I can see that they might want to see her CENOMAR. You wouldn't need one. Are you sure they are asking for one from you specifically?

Last year I sent 36 XLarge BB boxes. It was anywhere from 3 to 12 at a time. What was utterly amazing was that all 38 arrived to the Central Visayas unmolested and unopened. My wife used simple, over broad, general categories. She used "Kitchenwares," "Home Decor," "Shoes," etc. My suggestion is to pick an overarching bland generic term to label your stuff. Nobody is going to care. I would suggest that you do not itemize. Itemization will probably give you nothing but grief.

I have never heard of that because there is no such certificate that can be produced in the US. We can provide proof that we are born, married, divorced, or widowed, but we cannot provide certified proof that a person is single. I do not know what to tell you. Maybe Chancy, Adventine, RO_AH, or Top Secret can provide some guidance on the best course of action.

The endgame. Our K1 case is at the embassy and ready.

It is a 2 day ordeal that sometimes completes in 1. You should plan for 2. -
Given the snark, yes I can. Meek = bad
-
As RO_AH responded, there is no cost. The only issue with CFO is ever changing requirements. As a side note, Filipina's who are shy, quiet, meek, and avoid eye contact will find it a rough go. They are chum to the CFO sharks.
-
Unless something has changed recently, I don't believe any document needs to have wet signatures for the embassy. The I-134 doesn't mean much. It is the I-864 filed at AOS that commits.
-
Once you get that CFO completed, she's ready to go. Congrats
-
Depends on what you need it for. A lot of electronics are dual voltage.

I was in McDonalds today, and there was someone in there yelling "Merry Christmas everyone!" Really weird.
-
It is September 1st here in the Philippines. So, to kick off the Christmas season: Merry Christmas! If you have no idea why I am saying this on September 1st, then ask or read up on Filipino culture. haha

Just so you know, you can through the whole process only to get a blurry, jacked-up birth certificate copy from PSA. My wife's BC was pretty close to unreadable. It was stamped best copy possible. It got us through, but it was messed up. Good luck.
-
You need to forget about it. Do nothing. You won't get a RFE. You keep picking at it, screwing with it, draw attention to it, you will potentially create a problem out of nothing. An explanation letter will do nothing but put a red light and siren on it. That can cause stupid people to do stupid things. Don't let stupid people have a chance or the opportunity to screw up your journey. Frozen, "Let it go."

True, but, look how it went off course so quickly. People are helpful here, and they saw issues in your intro paragraph. So, the thread went as it did.
-
A detail that should should have been in your first post for clarity.

I'm in the Philippines, and I use ExpressVPN. Pricey, but it works for me. They do have a server in the Philippines and pretty much every where else. Every once in a while I have to switch the server around in the US because Netflix gets smart. I also use ExpressVPN for my phone and Android TV box. (VPN for your phone highly recommended if you use data and apps and especially if you connect to sketchy wifi.)
-
They are building one in Bacolod. Latest guess is next month, but I don't know given its current state of construction. They have been out pimping memberships for more than six months.
-
Planning for the future. Good call...
-
If I was to guess, it is probably assumed, rightly or wrongly, shy or quiet young women could be more easily tricked or manipulated into something they would not normally do. So, ultimately they are on the look out for that.
