OFFLOADED LIFTING REQUEST- SEPTEMBER 2020

Requested from BI by C. Esguerra at 05:54 PM on Nov 29, 2023.
Purpose: Requested to lift the offloaded record so that I will not be questioned again on my future travels.
Date of Coverage: 09/14/2020 - 09/14/2020
Tracking no: #BI-904539489502

Esguerra 05:54 PM, Nov 29, 2023 

Hi.
Good Day!

I previously worked as an OFW and returned to the Philippines in 2019. I decided to return using a visit visa in Sept.2020, having met all of the requirements but unaware that the affidavit of support was invalid. When verified, the affidavit I was bringing was expired (my first degree cousin received it in Feb. 2020) and got offloaded. Last Oct. 2023 I was given a chance to go out the PH funded by our company (company tour). The attending officer advised me to request my record to be lifted once I returned to the Philippines (Officer Mallari- female) since I am already employed

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Nov 29, 2023 05:54:37 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your Request

You asked for OFFLOADED LIFTING REQUEST- SEPTEMBER 2020.

Response to Request

BI appreciates the information given. However, please note that we do not have an existing process of clearing travel/offload history in our system. All arrivals and exits, including deferred departure in our international ports form part of a passenger’s travel history. Additionally, being previously offloaded does not bar one from travelling overseas, but the inability to comply with the documentary requirements needed for travel. Kindly refer to the attached guidelines for more information.
