Philippines: 13a Visa:

Hi everyone. Hopefully, someone can help guide me in the right direction regarding my obtaining a 13 a Visa. I am a US Citizen married for 25 years to Filipina Dual Citizen. We are looking to retire in the Philippines in about 2 years. We already have a joint bank account there well funded and buying a home this month, which we plan to pay off in 2 years. This way I don't have to worry about a house payment (phew). We plan to ship our household and vehicle to our home in Philippines when the time comes. Let me get to the point. I live in California and they have a monthly embassy post in Milpitas CA and I was wondering do I apply now for my 13 a visa, or do I wait until I get to the Philippines? It seems it might be easier to do here, since I can get all the requirements needed such as X-ray copy, police clearance, etc.... right here. All the other documents needed as far as marriage contract, bank statements, etc. is all covered. Had to use these for the home loan at PNB anyway. What should I do? Wait or start now? Will they issue me a 13a while I am here in the US still?

Philippines: Applying for 13a visa, need police clearance:

Just marry again in the Philippines could be a way around all that. You would have a Philippines marriage certificate then and the US one. Wonder if this is possible?
