Confused Dual Citizen for Infant (Filipino & US)

[Trishalyn 5]

Hi Vj members,

 

My son got his PI (Philippine Passport) for the first time due to IR1 visa requirement and upon interview we where advice to go CRBA determination (since my husband is a USC). So we got Approved and recieved his US Passport from CRBA. By the way, his PI was returned to us without any note of Cancelled (due to determined as elligible of USC) So my question are....

 

1.) Does he acquire the dual citizenship?

2.) Do we still need to go to Phillipine Bureau of Immigration for ECC/ Exit Permit and fees? 

 

 

Need your help? Anyone here have the same case!?

My daughter recently received her US passport after CRBA approval as well..

she already had her Philippine passport... from what we were told , we would NOT NEED to goto Philippine Immigration to obtain exit clearance ..  BUT whenever we leave the country to come to the USA ,we would need to present BOTH passports to Philippine immigration....but enter USA on US passport only.

 

And YES holding both passports would make my daughter a Dual citizen..

Present both as you clear Immigration at the airport in the Philippines, even though I don't think the Philippines has a requirement for dual citizens.   The Philippine passport removes the ECC issue    so it has to be presented on exit.

 

For entry into the USA you must use the U.S. passport .. it's the law.

Safe Travels.

The Philippine passport was not cancelled as your son is a dual citizen by birth, he can always carry two passports.

 

1)  He acquired dual citizenship at birth as one or both parents are Philippine citizens.

 

2) NO.   Citizens do not need an ECC certificate.     

 

 

And as noted by others; for entry and exit to/from the USA the U.S. passport is required.   Philippines has no such requirement, the Philippine passport removed the need for the ECC when y'all leave and when returning to the Philippines it removed the need for a visa..
