I'm Filipina living in Japan with 2 kids, still married but have been separated for 7 years. I already filed for an annulment in the Philippines (we don't have divorce there) but it's not finished yet.
My partner for 6 years who is an American, and serving the military (USN) is moving back to the states soon. Me and the kids have a 10 year B1/B2 visa so we can only do visits.
I just found out I am pregnant and my partner wants to recognize the child and have the child use his surname. Is that even possible since we are not even married?
What does his parental acknowledgement got to do about the child's nationality?
How can I bring the child with us in the states for visits?

Hello everyone.
I'm Filipina living in Japan with 2 kids, still married but have been separated for 7 years. I already filed for an annulment in the Philippines (we don't have divorce there) but it's not finished yet.
My partner for 6 years who is an American, and serving the military (USN) is moving back to the states soon. Me and the kids have a 10 year B1/B2 visa so we can only do visits.
I just found out I am pregnant and my partner wants to recognize the child and have the child use his surname. Is that even possible since we are not even married?
What does his parental acknowledgement got to do about the child's nationality?
How can I bring the child with us in the states for visits?
Any info would be appreciated. TIA
