Just to keep things in perspective, cock fighting was legal in one US state as late as 2008, and only became illegal in US territories (American...
Probably! But I think they are actually doing you a favor/courtesy. If the application has not been officially submitted/received, nothing has...
I agree, I would at least ask about the "SRRV Expanded Courtesy Visa" if interested. Per the PRA, it applies to veterans from countries with...
Off topic, but since you mentioned Crazy Eddie, I remember his "crazy" ads well! What I didn't know was that the chain's owner, who went to jail...
The immigration website seems to confirm that, it lists balikbayans and SRRV under "voluntary registrants". And for the OP, it does list tourist...
BTW, this was hashed out in another forum in 2016, exact same failed 2011 bill S.B 2832 is mentioned. One of the best posts I found from that...

LOL, wasn't sure if you meant the DI forums or the Philippines in general :)
