He is still a Philippine citizen so you should put Pinoy. He is not a US Citizen yet but only a Green Card holder. My wife is a Green Card holder and still has a Philippine passport, which means she is a Philippine citizen.

Who told you that he's a US Citizen? Your partner or the person at QC City Hall?

Your parter, if he's a Green Card Holder (aka Legal Permanent Resident), he still holds Filipino Citizenship and a Filipino Passport.

Did you already pay the fees?

He is still a Filipino Citizen. He hasn't been in the USA long enough to qualify for anything else at this time (ie. US citizenship). Return to QC City Hall and ask for an application for non-foreigner but for a Filipino Citizen. Fill the documents with his current USA information, address in the US as well as his parents US address. Submit all his documentation as requested in (I. at counter 10). Don't forget you will need a Certificate of Family Planning (everyone) and Marriage Counseling (only if your age is 24 or younger) prior to getting the ML. I believe there is a 10 day waiting period between the issuance of the ML and the actual marriage.

Here are the requirements and it is not 12K PHP.

He is a Filipino citizen with a green card. Definitely not a US citizen!

Put Filipino as his citizenship and yes you can put his US address as well as for his parents' info. If his parents are already US citizens, indicate as such.

That's how we did it when we got married. My husband didn't pay any fee. He did show his GC and Philippine passport to the LCR person when we applied for the marriage license. No biggie!

Good luck!
