I was checking my flight back to the US set on June 30th and I do not see this requirement anymore either. I am flying via United Airlines.

I might be paranoid but yeah, this scares me so much too. I wrapped both my bags with saran wrap when I traveled to the US in 2019. I just don't want to give anyone an opportunity to hassle me, I guess. On my way back to Philippines this year, I lined my luggage with cardboard box along the zipper line, placed all my things in a huge garbage bag and placed inside the luggage, and tied the zipper with metal wires from bread. I heard of airport people trying to open zippers by stabbing them with a pen to break the zipper so they can steal the contents. I plan on shrink-wrapping my luggage this month too, when I go back to the US.

Hello, I am hoping that one of you can give me an idea of what to do. I am going to be a U.S. citizen soon, and I am planning on petitioning my 63-year old mother. However, I can not find any record of her birth certificate. I tried getting her record using different possible names and years of birth, but no luck. All I have are negatives saying that she has no record. Anyway, with the negative birth certificates, we have been trying to do a late registration for her, but this is taking too long and the effort is too much (we got to do the registration of her birth certificate in Eastern Samar and we just don't have anyone reliable to help us with it). I am also not looking forward to getting her passport and other immigration-related papers with a late-registered birth certificate (they are prone to extra scrutiny). Does anyone else have other ideas on how to go about it? I'm not asking for anything illegal, just another option for registering her birth certificate or maybe an agency that can help? Your experience in dealing with a birth certificate that is 63 years old would be helpful. Thank you all for your help.
