They will check your one healthpass everytime youre going to check in. So usa, korea and when you land philippines. 

We Shall see, I highly doubt they will check in the USA since I am flying domestic first and then onto another USA city before going to Korea. And then onto Korea.  I suspect they may check on Korean Airlines but from reading the internet it seems as if they don't but I will be ready if they do.

The airline has the responsibility to only board passengers who meet the required criteria for testing/ vax etc. They get a hefty fine if they board anyone who is subsequently refused because of failing to meet health requirements .. and the passenger is refused entry and turned straight around. They will check 

I have talked to a few people who have recently traveled to Philipines most are not checked

No, they do not.  the first line in Philippine entry is verifying your health status -  vaxx status, covid test,  check your temp, see if you require quarantine etc.   they use the OHP to validate your documents with what you have submitted.  When all is good, next line is immigration.

Gotcha

I see May 3rd they are getting a updated one health pass,  some are going to be selected to go thru express entry lanes upon arrival in the Philipppines.

So it's only 650 peso for the rapid anitgen test?

Point of Entry - prior to immigration processing in Philippines.  

So Korean Airlines is suppose to check it

I guess we shall see if that happens, thanks for the answer.

Did it ever open back up?

Sounds pretty de-humanizing to me......

I'm done.

That what you said before, but you came back

Sounds like you are confused

I am not flying PAL

Who am I suppose to show this too?  From watching Youtube and comments it seems as if nobody with the airlines ask for this

I am flying USA to S. Korea to Manila

but not superior here in the USA

its hard to get SS # making it hard to add to bank account

expensive to do the AOS after marriage is $1225

plus paying out of pocket for the health care insurance

 

and immigrants get so homesick,  its hard on them when they can't visit home 

a K1 means going thru AOS,  EAD,  AP and the ROC 2 years later 

and u will be tired of dealing with immigration long before she gets to naturalize

 

plus K1 is taking as long to get now as the CR1

its going to be anywhere from 18 months and longer

this is not fast,  cheap or easy

 

Much Superior in the USA if you have assets, I like to take things slow and easy, not get in a rush. 

I am not worrying about her working or traveling outside the USA anytime soon.

which makes your statement that a K-1 is "much superior" for PI even more odd.  You seem to already have all the answers, and you are unwilling to answer a simple question which might help others. ......I'm out.  Good luck.

You get an extended honey moon period in the USA with your mate. CR1 is no honeymoon period in the USA.

Then you can file for adjustment of status when you get ready, if things don't work out then your off the hook, doing a CR1 you have to go thru a court process, get divorced, worry about liquation of assets, etc.

Bringing a person into the USA and already married presents it own issues, bringing them in on K1 give you time to see how the react and adjust in the USA is important.

8 months is common currently.  You seem to be basing answers on outdated information. 

Ok

If one needed to leave one can always leave, it's not that big of deal.  US doesn't require any exit clearance, you just book a ticket and hop on a plane and leave, this isn't the Philippines where you must pass thru immigration just to exit the country and you don't need an exit clearance in the USA.

8 minutes ago, Crazy Cat said:

You seem to think that a K-1 takes only a few months.......that is not accurate.  It could easily take 18 months. 

Not at all, I know for a fact what the processing times are in general, See that is why I asked how long it was taking since the pandemic

I am not really worried if it takes 18 hours or 18 months to be truthful.

Details, please?

Personal Experience is my experience dealing with USCIS and the immigration process and dealing with US Embassy in Manila.

You have alot of incorrect information

Very easy to get a SS# and Bank Account on K1

You can apply for leave the country if that's important, plus it only a few months to get travel authorization

 On what do you base that answer? 

Personal Experience

if you are considering which visa to apply for,   seriously think about the CR1

the advantages far outweigh the K1

from post of crazy cat

 

Just as a reminder as to why I think a CR-1 is superior for many couples.

 

Every couple has their own priorities, and each couple must decide which visa is better for their situation.

K-1      
    More expensive than CR-1    
    Requires Adjustment of Status after marriage (expensive and requires a lot of paperwork)    
    Spouse can not leave the US until she/he receives approved Advance Parole (approx 5-6 months)    
    Spouse can not work until she/he receives EAD (approx 5-6 months)    
    Some people have had problems with driver licenses, Social Security cards, leases, bank account during this period    
    Spouse will not receive Green Card for many months after Adjustment of Status is filed.
    A denied K-1 is sent back to USCIS to expire
  

CR-1   

    Less expensive than K-1    
    No Adjustment of Status(I-485, I-131, I-765, I-944) required.    
    Spouse can immediately travel outside the US    
    Spouse is authorized to work immediately upon arrival.    
    Spouse receives Social Security Card and Green Card within 2 or 3 weeks after entering the US    
    Opening a bank account, getting a driver's license, etc. are very easily accomplished with GC, SS card, and passport.

    Spouse has legal permanent Resident status IMMEDIATELY upon entry to US.

K1 is much superior visa for Philippines

I wouldn't mess with doing a spousal visa unless I lived in the Philippines and could get a emergency DCF

Interesting, thanks for the head up

I guess I will just spend a few extra months in Philippines when I enter.

How strict are they?

I heard they are still requiring them even outside

How does the fine system work if you don't wear one?

As of today how long are K1 vs CR1 taking to get approved?

In the past a K1 was about 4 to 7 weeks and CR1 was 4 to 7 months

New and updated HealthPass comes out tomorrow
