Hello everyone! 

 

I am currently a conditional green card holder. My husband is also a Filipino and was naturalized last 2014. We have a 10 month old baby born here in the US. We are planning to take him to the Philippines and leave him with my parents for a few months to a year. He has a US passport and we have already reported his birth to the Embassy of the Philippines. Can he travel to the Philippines and stay there for a year on a US passport or do we need to file a dual citizenship for him and get him a Philippine passport as well? Or, will the report of birth suffice for him to be allowed to stay in the Philippines for an extended period? It's only me and my son who will be travelling to the Philippines. Will there be any fees that we need to pay if he stays long in the Philippines? Thanks.

Reporting the birth is a good start, but your son also needs a Philippine passport or there will be issues in two years as in fees.  I know of a couple recent situation where two Filipinos came to the Philippines for college, neither had their Philippine passport, then when they were ready to fly back to the USA, with only their U.S. passport, they ran into the ECC issue... and the fees were huge.   They then had to get their Philippine passport or pay the HUGE ECC fees.

 

Get the passport done before he leaves!

As long as you already reported the birth you should be fine. If not be can and will incur fines.

 

Visa chase and citizenship.. DONE!
