I'm still planning on moving...

[DaveB]

I've been off the Forum the last couple weeks...been pushing hard packing balikbayan boxes and distributing other possessions all over the place and processing paper work and cleaning our rental.  But here I sit In SEATAC airport at the Asiana Gate waiting my flight to Incheon.  Looks like after all this, I'm actually going to fly to Manila!!!!

I've been cruising the past posts and see references to processing the 13A while in the states!?!?  I had put that whole package together and was ready to submit it when COVID shut down the Frisco Consulate.  Until the last travel rule change, they were giving out NO visas either there or at the Embassy.  Ultimately, when they changed to allow a 9A visa for a Filipina spouse,. the Embassy in DC told me to submit for my 13A  once I went to the Philippines.  So...I re-did my application (it's different than the one in Consulate)) and set things up following the BI website - and figured I'd see what happens when I get there.  I'll go back and peruse any Forum info on the latest about 13As...gonna be grumpy to find out it could have been done in the US, but I suspect, if so, it was a decision too late in my journey to work on.  Anyway...it's all a moot point now.  

Getting close.  Actually looking forward to a few days in a quarantine hotel.  I need the rest.

Best of luck to you Dave. Hope all goes well for you along the way and, especially, when you finally arrive and start processing visas...
