[happywifeymom 4]

Hello Vj'ers,

My son was born in the Philippines but he now has his US passport and Cert. of his US cITIZENSHIP. he is here with me in Georgia now. My questions are;;

1.Is he also considered a citizen of the Philippines?

2.Do i have to get him a Philippine passport too or his birth their is enough proof that he is also a Filipino? since it's his native birth place?

3.what should i do to have his dual citizenship?is it a good idea?

Hi there,

You should go to Philippine Consulate with your child's Birth Records and whatever else they require and get a Philippine Passport. We will go to the one in Jacksonville. Not sure where the one is in Georgia. Google baby, Google!

Also, you want to do that ASAP, while you are still a Filipino citizen.

That's what we were told by Immigration.

FOR THOSE STILL IN PI. GET YOUR CHILD'S PHILIPPINE PASSPORT IMMEDIATELY. THAT WAY YOU WONT HAVE TO PAY PENALTIES FOR YOUR US CITIZEN CHILD "OVERSTAYING"!

Yes, we paid that as well as Exit Fees and some other mess.

The officials conveniently told us about that AFTER we paid already! They also so said there is no more fee to be paid to get a Passport. I'm not sure how true that is. Probably not at all.

Immigration and emigration IS a business. Especially in PI! But u knew THAT already,lol!

I was under the impression that it was unlawful to have multiple passports. Please correct me if I'm wrong. My son is still in the RP with my wife. He has his CRBA/US passportIf we can get out of paying the "overstay" screw-job that would be great.

Not sure what u mean here. If you are a dual citizen, y would you not be able to have both passports?! I mean, if you cant, whats the point? lol And yes, I have seen many people at NAIA with both passports. Im sure you have too if u think really hard about it. But don't take my word as fact. Find out at USCIS Website or Google it until u find a site with official info. (.gov)!

Was your child born in the Philippines? The way I understood it is my son is a dual citizen and can apply for a Philippine Passport.

Yes, he was born in mindanao. If he gets a RP passport will he need to go thru CFO also?

YES she was born in PI and thats how I thought about it too. And yet we had to pay.

Bottom Line is, some people never pay anything. Like I said, immigration is a money maker and there are a lot of double standards and a lot of Red Tape!

I paid 2 get it over with, rather than to argue my point and have more problems than its worth.

Hope u dont have to pay!

im a us citizen...and i never got a filipino passport. and i grew up in the philippines, the only overstaying fee i had to pay was at the airport when i leave the philippines to go on vacation in the united states or some other country...i think i paid like 2,000 pesos...thats all...

in addition, my parents are filipino

thanks. am a lil bit confused coz i went home sa Pinas to gave birth and when i went to the immigration to get his exit permit the lady said he don't have to have a Philippine passport since he was born there he is also a Filipino citizen but I can get one if i want to..that's what she told me.my son is only 6 months old and he was born there but i was able to bring him back here in Georgia.

Just wanted to know if it is really needed to get my son a Philippine passport.And in so doing,,does it mean he has dual citizenship?

Yes, he was born in mindanao. If he gets a RP passport will he need to go thru CFO also?

i don't know if he has to go to CFO coz i did not. all i had to get was my son's exit permit and then that's it.
