JonSeattle got a reaction from TBoneTX in Harvard grad blames Trump supporters after ‘stab’ video costs her Deloitte job
If that is how she is on a public platform, imagine what she is like to work with.

“For legal reasons this is a joke,” she added.
I need that as a signature line.

JonSeattle reacted to praisejourney in Are K1 Visa allow to travel to the USA?
God is so good! Nope she had a perfect transition through each country! No questioning, it all went smooth. We had planned to fly out on July 18th but because the numbers are growing we moved it up to June 30th. It cost me about $60 to make the change. We did our CFO the day before her flight in Manila and they gave her the cert at the office. The CFO staff are so great, they made sure we had everything we needed for the next day flight. Praying for you guys!! Everything will be okay! Let me know if you have any questions!

JonSeattle got a reaction from laylalex in Tucker Declares War On Republican Party
I'm not a fan of Tucker, and this is an example why:
#3: GOP Must Work Harder For The Middle Class
And the clip on the tweet on that page ends with "The only political movements that endure are the ones that make their voters stronger."
I don't think it is the job of the federal government to divide people into classes and give them treats. As a conservative I don't think that should even come up, but of course in a democracy it will eventually as a result of party dynamics. But the way forward should be that good government is going to lift all boats. If some boats are still being held down systemically, even because of injustice that occurred in the past, then that needs to be fixed. Where Republicans are failing is in bringing forward its message in a way that appeals to people because of the type of country that they want this to be.

JonSeattle reacted to alewis in Coronavirus Embassy reopening
I contacted my senator on Monday by filling out a request for help with a government agency form on her website. Her intern called me today and wanted a copy of my I-797C for our K1 fiance Visa. No guarantee they will be able to do anything, but I didn't receive just a copy and paste email telling me to wait either. I have hope!
I will sum up what I wrote. I basically said I am requesting help to get my fiance here. I just turned 41. We plan to have a baby and the longer we wait the less of a chance we have for a healthy pregnancy or baby. His interview was scheduled in April and canceled due to coronavirus. He only needs his medical exam and interview. "Please help us".
I also asked for them to clarify the positions on K1s in the EOs on immigration. Said this is not only keeping me away from my fiance, but many families are suffering and waiting with no end in site and no real information. I also said Covid is stressful enough, but this extended separation is causing so many people so much heartbreak on top of Covid.
Who knows what they will end up saying, but maybe, just maybe they will try to help.
I would suggest that everyone at least try your senators or congressman. Explain the heartbreak it is causing your situations and how hard this is. Then include something like my second part to let them know there are many others experiencing this too.
Finger crossed for any help!!!

SUCCESS!!!!!!
I am proud to say that my fiancée was able to immigrate to the USA this past weekend using a K1 Visa. It was a good thing too because I am hearing that her city, Lapu-Lapu, is planning on going back to ECQ lockdowns due to the rise of COVID-19 starting in the beginning of July (so we just made it...Phew!!). Apparently, going thru Immigration was not that bad as long as you have the appropriate documentation as well as the much needed Travel Certificate.
Going thru US Customs was a breeze also, just a bit long for her, but she got thru no problem. Philippine Airlines was the airline we used throughout and the flight that we took was the one that leaves from Manila to Los Angeles. I’ve been keeping a log of past flights that have been successful in getting to LAX and flight PR102 seems to be the most successful. We avoided stopping in other countries and made sure to find flights that went directly from Philippines to USA.
We are very happy and I hope all of you get the same success results soon. Thank you again everyone.....this forum has been super helpful from the beginning since we started our journey. You guys are the best and I wish all of you to be with your partners soon.
God Bess!

Sounds like we are good to go. I called Canada and they said that we are able to transit not problem with a K1 Visa. We also got our CFO today in Manila. Praying that our flight and travels go well tomorrow. I will keep you guys posted for sure!

JonSeattle reacted to joanamber in USEM Manila Update
I also read all the updates posted in their website and it gave me the idea that they will be opening soon. It is also posted that documents can be sent via 2Go which is also a good sign. Let's just pray that USEM will open next week and our families will be reunited!

This image I took straight from the CFO website this morning. Seems very clear it applies to K1s. No need to go to a CFO office.

Great news! I just received word from the CFO office that they are doing TeleSeminars online. Here is what you need.
Please inform her to send a copy of her passport, visa, IDs or passport of you to miravallesivy@gmail.com. then a counselor will contact her for the telecounseling and verification of her documents.

We got our visa! What's interesting is it never showed up on the 2Go tracking website.

JonSeattle got a reaction from Matrix13 in Obtaining illegitimate fathers death certificate
Why does your wife say that not having been married is a problem? The rules for getting a death certificate are much less strict than getting a birth certificate. https://www.psaserbilis.com.ph/Secure/OnlineApplication.aspx

JonSeattle got a reaction from TheKingmaker in So lockdowns were not needed after all?
Now we know where to focus efforts: on rapid detection of symptoms, contact tracing, and getting people with symptoms to call in sick. That's a lot less of an impact on society than a lockdown of healthy people.

JonSeattle reacted to Scott001 in A little good news - Japan/Guam/Hawaii
This is a bit late but, good news for me and others needing Japan to relax a little. Hopefully things will get back to normal-ish soon.
"Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe lifted a coronavirus state of emergency in Tokyo and four other remaining areas on Monday, ending the restrictions nationwide..." JTB began booking tours to Hawaii, dates stating in mid-July. Hawaii's mandatory 14-day quarantine is set to end June 30, 2020. Guam will lift their mandatory 14-day quarantine starting July 1 for tourist from Japan, S. Korea, and Thailand.
Guam and Hawaii have a P.O.E. so anyone short on time from JP, SK, TH can take a nice trip.
Hopefully these changes will be reciprocal and Japan will let US passports, or at the least their own permanent residents, back in.

All we had go do was tell people who are sick to stay home. No masks needed.
