Requested from BI by A. Keith at 03:06 AM on Jul 18, 2022.
Purpose: How to get the total fines I have to pay for overstaying to be able to visit the Philippines.
Date of Coverage: 11/01/2012 - 03/15/2015
Tracking no: #BI-471391027713

Keith 03:06 AM, Jul 18, 2022

Hi I would like to know how much my total fines are for overstaying. I voluntarily left the Philippines in 2015 when I was able to get a ticket home. The US embassy helped me get a waiver to be able to leave without paying. As per the Immigration officer, I just need to pay my fines to re-enter. I would love to visit my wife's family. My wife's family has not met our first and only baby yet. Please lead me to the right direction.
