Permanent residency

9 years ago

After residing in the PI since 1980, first as diplomatic staff and then after retirement using the Balikbayan privilege for ten years, I had an angioplasty and didn't want to travel out and back in anymore. I heard that Permanent Resdiency was the answer so my wife converted to Dual Citizenship (easily) and I tried to file for conversion to PR. Four months later I am still waiting for my valid, embossed marriage certificate to be reissued by the Virginia Vital Records, after which it needs to be authenticated by the VA Sec. of State and then sent to the PI Embassy in Washington DC and only then will the BI accept the Application. So much for trying to do it legally. Might be faster to re-marry my wife. Should have stayed a Balikbayan. Any comments?
