POA

Thanks NikLR! 

I will just try to put your answers in bullet points. 
 
1. Your father was born in the Philippines but became a US Citizen from his father who is a US Citizen, correct?
2. You father have been in the US for 25 years.
3. Your father was already a US Citizen when your 13 y/o brother was born.
--if the  3 statements above are  true, then your father can just file CRBA like the other said and your brother will get his US Citizenship.
--For your mother, he would need to file the I-130 petition.
If you want, you can reply in tagalog and I can translate it for you. (if I am not violating any TOS, MOD?)
 
 
 
 
 
 

Laws change.  The 1 year rule was deemed unconstitutional in 2017, so that is when the rule changed.

Rules change over time and they also differ for married (to non-USC, 5 years) vs single (1 year) mothers 
see for example https://travel.state.gov/content/travel_old/en/legal-considerations/us-citizenship-laws-policies/citizenship-child-born-abroad.html
 
 
 
 

Section 309(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act [one year requirement] vs Section 301(g) [5 year requirement].

I share the same sentiments as to why I'd rather not use the US way. Specially in the PH, if they know we are from here and married to kano, expect over charged! lol

I hear you but some people like myself can't imagine life without working. I need a job to stay sane and cannot just let my husband work alone. My other reason is, I didn't get married just to be taken cared of. I want to be able to take care of my husband too if a time comes that he is not able to. We are back up to each other.  For people like us, working is self-fulfilling.  For some, being a full-time housewife is fulfilling. Not to mention for us Filipinos, most of us usually have the "responsibility" to our families. 

I just got a message saying they received my response on the 4th. There are two addresses listed on the RFIE, one is like a dropbox and another one is for delivery service. I use the second one because I want  to make sure there is a person signing my package.
Thanks guys!

I completely understand where you're coming from and I was just stating as to what we have experienced. And what I said at least what happened to us. We didn't receive any response. We called the customer service twice level 1 and level 2 and both confirmed they received the RFE but then the next letter we received was they did not receive the rfe. 

They do not confirm the receipt of the RFE but they will send you a mail that they are denying your petition if they did not receive any or they will ask for another rfe to fulfill what they need.

I traveled to the Philippines last year on a green card using my PH passport. I can see how it can be scary but you should be fine.

They have student visa's that lets them stay here for the duration of their study and they can stay in dorms. 
 
When I moved here holding a green card(spouse visa), my husband and I got an apartment and the requirements are our rent history, credit history and proof of income. Lucky for me, my husband has a rent history and good credit and both have job. They did background check too.

Depending on where you will stay, $26k doesn't seem to be a very comfortable budget. Add the fact that you are coming here for medical. Just to give you an example, a friend of my gave birth and her kid was in ICU for 3 days due to low sugar something. Bill was $217k. Living may be doable with $50k budget per year, but if you are seeking medical help, you will be looking at hundreds of thousands. Of course, that depends on your medical treatment. 

if your ego and sense of entitlement are so easily seen, I suggest a little humbleness if you interview, your use of derogatory slang as a response shows a lack of sophistication. Money makes you rich, it does not give you class

You won't buy a visa with money and arrogance. Anyway, reporting because OP's arrogance is just incredible.

They live on school campus.
 
Ok, though even if you have enough money to cover 2 years stay - there is no 2 year B2 visas. B2/B1 won't give you more than 6 months imo.
And your chances are 0 to none after being rejected twice.

$26k a year would NOT allow you to have an $1100 a month apartment. It's not just the rent. It's rent (the actual apartment), electric, water, gas, pest, trash and then your additional amenities like cable, cell phone, internet. You're not being realistic here. Especially out on the west coast. Also, finding a place that will lease to you without a job is almost damn impossible. You'd have to stay in a long term hotel that will let you pay up front.

Furthermore, if you think that an apartment complex in the states is going to lease to you without the following:
 
1. Social Security Number
2. Proof that you make at least 3x your monthly rent in income
3. Proof of job
4. Proof of lawful status
5. Credit history (if you have none, expect a HEFTY down payment)
 
You are sadly mistaken and need to do more research.

Finding a job ended up being a lot easier than I add anticipated. After taking a 5 months break after arriving in this country, I started sending applications on May 10th.
I started as a contractor ($65/hr) on June 4th in a small firm, while I was still interviewing with a larger one.
They made a pretty good offer mid-july and am working with since then (135k a year). 
I have a master degree in architecture with 20 years of experience owning a business.

They do act quick! Per my experience, I felt that they were on my side lol.
