I just wanted to thank all of you who have answered my questions and have helped me with my immigration journey. I am now a US citizen. This site has been tremendously helpful, and I didn't have to pay the extra money to have somebody do the paperwork for me. Once again, thank you. GOD bless you all. Merry belated Christmas and a happy new year!

Congratz on getting your U.S. citizenship...!

Are you going to reacquire your Filipino citizenship?

I really don't know yet. Did you? What are the benefits? Please enlighten me. Thank you.

My wife, Chinook, reacquired her Philippines citizenship.

One benefit for her is that she can buy a house in 'pinas.

In the future, she may want to live in 'pinas for extended periods. Her Filipino citizenship will allow her to do so without any problem.

My N-400 packet included the following:

  • A money order for the application and biometrics fees, totaling $680

  • Form N-400 with two identical color photos attached to it

  • A photocopy of my green card, front and back

  • A copy of my husband's birth certificate

  • Current marriage certificate

  • A copy of the birth certificate of our son

  • Tax transcripts for 2012, 2013 and 2014

Good luck in yours. May God bless you!
