Yes, they will give Balikbayan Stamp to Step Children of any age We sent my great nephew over there for a few months, he entered with his step mom he was age 20

My MIL did her Tourist Visa Applicaiton a few months ago. All she took to interview was her Passport and paperwork from US EMbassy in Manila I would be shocked if they would look at paperwork regarding Bank Account, Land/House titles, etc. She can bring them but I don't think they would even want to see them, much less let her present them. The general rule is if your old or rich you have a very good chance of getting approved

100% Correct.

We have a Fil Am hook up next month in Philippines, have 4 couple from our area all going back to Philippines We are gonna all meet in Siargao Island and spend few days there I was thinking about taking my wife to Camigiun Island, I was there 2010 and I really enjoyed all the hot springs and cold springs and waterfall, I remember entery fee was like 12 pesos per person and I remember a soda spring resort, another spring resort had about 5 different spring with different water temps. Are these all still open to public? Siquijor? I know nothing and wife only said she read it was nice to visit, I am looking for expeditions and or Island hopping tours, I like to stay on the move when I am in Philippines.

Wrong Being deported means being forcibly sent out of a country by legal means

Was at a Fil Am party yesterday, one of the females who is a RN, said her young teenage daughter came home from school a few months ago and told her mother she was binary or non binary or one of them things. Mother sent daughter back to Philippines and put her in a catholic private school I got a big smile out it, Momma don't play that game.

My relative got his 13A recently. Took him over a year to get it completed, but he had already moved to Philippines and had to deal with all the slow paperwork and miscommunication you get inside Philippines when processing paperwork. Do all your paperwork and get his 13A before you leave USA.

Bank Statements are not asked as supporting docuements.

Been busy so let me give an update. MIL arrived early April on a Tourist Visa from Philippines, She was asked upon entry "Where she was staying, and our address in Texas" (My wife had supplied her our address already) and she was also asked how many luggages she had, She only came with one. She said this was all that was asked. She has been here about 2 months now and we took a trip to Cancun Mexico last week. She entered immigration line with her daughter, and I watched the entry process they just asked how long we planned to be in Cancun which was a week, Thankfully no line entering immigration due to early flight. When we got back to USA we entered at DFW airport late and no lines again, we took her thru the USA side of entry and I went to gate and CBP asked her nothing, and asked me how many days we were in Cancun, I suspect since she was with us it was reason no questions. Other than that it's been a nice visit, it's her first visit to USA, we had 38 degree temps on her arrival and had a party for her, and now yesterday was 95 and had a pool party. She had never experienced cold like that. Wife and MIL are headed back to Philippines in two weeks, and I will follow a couple days later for a month stay, longest I can stay without paying for visa extension. We have 3 other Fil Am couple flying in from USA and we are gonna island hoping in Sargiuo.

Never heard of getting a senator involved for a US Tourist Visa, but I guess it couldn't hurt. Ted Cruz might get a wild hair and pull some strings, who knows.

Not Required.

MIL not me Very simple question and I think only 6 Like : What is your middle name. Who is paying for your trip. Are you retired, and a couple other simple questions. My MIL is from Philippine and older so usually for Philippines if your old or rich you get approved for a Tourist visa.

That isn't new, goes back to 2021 time frame. What is new about it?

New recent ruling on DACA? What is the new recent ruling you are talking about? There has been no recent rulings on DACA Apps/renewals. Since around 2021 only renewals are accepted, They haven't taken new apps since 2021 time frame.

It will be nice when USCIS gets rid of the silly requirements of having to list all your criminal stuff. This is just a stupid and non sense requirement.

I agree 100% I stay away from any airline with China in it's name. Once you get inside China it isn't a place you want to be or deal with a country that can't speak English Very very hard to understand the staff on the plane to even understand what they are serving for meals.

For sure worth a 2nd attempt. Usually the old and wealthy are slam dunk for Tourist visa, and since your wife is a US Citizen it should be even more proof of the mothers ties to Philippines. My MIL did a Tourist Visa interview few months ago, wasn't asked about home just how many kids, who was paying for her trip and her middle name and if she was retired.

Never understood anyone wanting to do ROM in Philippines. So much easier to keep everything in her name, Me personally I don't want my name on any Philippines marriage register.

Did you not read my comment? "Will have to get judge to do legal name change at during Naturalization if person decides to seek US Citizenship." Didn't work for my wife, She had to do an extra step at to get her name changed during Naturalization

So if one doesn't have a cell fone what happens from there? They need to go to internet cafe and have email printed out?

Will have to get judge to do legal name change at during Naturalization if person decides to seek US Citizenship. But not a biggie

Travelers Checks? Haven't used them or seen them since the late 1980's For a Fiance/Marriage visa she only needs CFO sticker in her passport to leave Philippines.

K1 Petition, Petitoner or Beneficary can both be under age 18 to file. Under 18 would need parental Consent

K1 Visa Healthcare Insurance is not part of the requirements

OP states is he living in Philippines. If he does Utah online, then he can encounter problems getting a 13a visa in Philippines. They would just laugh at you if you tried to get 13a visa in Philippines to stay there if you bring a Utah online marriage to them, works for US immigration but not for living in Philippines. Philippines isn't the USA, they don't recognise same sex marriage, muslims can have upto 4 wives, and only muslims can divorce. Different country different rules.
