Ah ... finally more details!       

 

Correct.  Same-sex marriage is not recognized in the Philippines, thus ROM is impossible to file.

Regarding his passport, Yes it is on his single name. But he has an expired Nevada Driver's License (from the J1 visa) bearing the married name as well as his Restricted SSN under the married name. The petition was filed under the married name but i read somewhere that you can just provide a marriage certificate if the name of the passport isn't the same as the petition (that is what i suggested to him). He hasn't created his own VJ yet 🤔😂. Thanks for your help btw, as well to  others who commented

Sample of the Names: 

Passport & Old J1 CFO: Marcus Ray Ramirez Delgado

SSN, DS260& NV DL: Marcus Ray Evan Winslow

Why wouldn't they qualify to complete ROM?  One spouse being a USC has no bearing on completing ROM.   All that is needed is a letter explaining reason for late reporting of marriage  ( ... didn't realize it was necessary or something like that)

 

 

They conducted a same sex marriage, i think (I'm not sure though) that same sex marriage isn't legal in the PI yet. Anyways I'll advise him to creat his own VJ account. Thank you for the help Hank!

Thank you sir!  I stand corrected.

The Spouse (Male) came through a F3 Derivative Visa in 2015, My Friend (Male) and he Married in 2017 while my friend was on a J1 Visa. The NVC letter and MNL Case No. date is January 2020 for the F2A. The spouse will be able to naturalize later this year. I'm afraid they will not qualify for ROM

  As for ROM, it must be filed through the consulate representing the state where married.

 

Is that needed? Cause they do have the US Marriage License and Certificate and the priority date is already current, if so can the ROM be processed in the DFA?. The marriage happened in Reno, Nevada which consulate is in charge for that?  Another question, The CENOMAR for both spouses records No Marriage on Record cause they didn't file a ROM, will that be a issue in the US Embassy Interview? 

Hi! Just wanted to ask (for a colleague) what seminar is appropriate for a F2A Visa Beneficiary? (Spouse of Legal Permanent Resident) Is it PDOS or GCP? and i saw that one of the requirements was a ROM. The marriage was not reported to the PH Embassy 3 years ago when the spouses married in the United States (LPR married to J1 Visa Holder), do they need to apply for "Delayed Registration" of the ROM or is it okay to just bring the foreign Marriage Certificate and License to the CFO whenever Attending the seminar?

Hi! Just an update, I already have my new Passport as well as the one we used in entering the US. I got my new passport through the consulate and help from a pro bono lawyer, the ids i presented were my CA Id, Student ID and my birth certificate. I didn't think it was right to bring the old passport (assumed identity) to the consulate but i still brought it but didn't present it. Regarding the AOS, Mh wife and lawyer filed an I-130 and other AOS Forms via Mail last April, received by USCIS in may 2 according to usps, No NOA or acknowledgement by uscis though, included with the I-130 was copies of the passport i used to enter, as well as the old Medical Documents dated March 2001 and the old I-94 as proof of my "inspected" entry. We had also placed an FOIA for our record based on the I-94 we used years back. That's all for now

They've told me that they only concocted since my mom was desperate for a better life as a single mother and that they only did it cause they thought that if my mom were to marry a us citizen, it'll all be okay and that many did it before them (entering with Baklas Passport). I'm a devout Catholic that's why i do not approve of that. You might think that i married my wife for this purpose but keep in mind that i haven't done anything to fix this since we got married in 2015, it may seem naive but frankly I'm a coward since any mistake might lead to deportation and i don't think I'll survive if I'm without her, and my kid or kids (we are currently trying). 

My mom said that my father is a British Man, a coward as he originally wanted to abort me, he had died in 2005, I look mostly Caucasian that's why they don't really assume that im an undocumented person as i blend in almost perfectly.

We spent Thanksgiving together 2 years ago, but we didn't discussed it. We only discussed it 3 weeks ago when we took a family trip to Lake Tahoe. They've since been back to Vancouver now.

my mother is a different story since she basically "smuggled" me and her to the United States, overstayed and continuesly used an invalid and fraudelent SSN in working here in the US. Her SSN cointains the annotation of "Not Valid For Work without INS authorization"  and is named after the passport she used (my aunts). That's all for now. 

My aunt might face charges too, I think it's called Accessory or sumn. Because she was aware and willing to help her sister(my mom) and me get to the US using documents that belonged to them. And did fraud by declaring the passports coitnaining my mom's and i's picture loss in order to get their own passports with their biometrics and name. 

UPDATE: I've been in touch with a Lawyer and he contacted the Philippine Consulate here in Frisco through the emergency line. I can have my Filipino Passport, It would take 3 months or more due to the Corona Virus but nevertheless I'd just go to the Consulate in April and present my PSA Birth Certificate, UMID ID and my California License, then about my immigration problem since i still have the passport i used to enter, it can be used in my case to prove that i was "inspected" and that the "medical papers" i brought was admissable. We have prepared a FOIA request for the records in the name of the passport we used. I do hope that the offices will open up soon so my lawyer can submit the papers and so we'll know more, this is promising so I'm getting my hopes up. I treat this as destined miracle sin nce i found a law office amidst this california lockdown. and also, i might be exempt from the "Fraud" since i was only 5 when we entered using fraudulent passports however my mother is a different story since she basically "smuggled" me and her to the United States, overstayed and continuesly used an invalid and fraudelent SSN in working here in the US. Her SSN cointains the annotation of "Not Valid For Work without INS authorization"  and is named after the passport she used (my aunts). That's all for now.

You probably want to report the photo to the admins for removal - for reasons of privacy

my cousin is not a filipino citizen anymore, and he doesn't use that name for the better part of the decade due from my mom amd aunt concocting the stupid plan of coming to the us illegally

Your best path forward is to save up and hire an experienced immigration attorney, or find one willing to help you for free.  This is a very complicated case and it will be a long expensive process to become legal in the US.  I salute you for wanting to make this right, but the history of how you entered the US with a fake passport is going to be a big hurdle to overcome.  Others in similar situations have had to leave the US at some point in the process, you may have to spend some time in the Philippines.  Hopefully it will all work out in the end.  Good luck and best wishes to you and your family!

Thanks! I'm trying to grasp it atleast, I don't want my child or children to carry this burden too. But at the same timw i don't know if i can leave my family here with an uncertaine future

Not sure why you would pay into SSS.

 

Your birth certificate is enough to prove you are a citizen.

This is the Passport i used back in 2001. Together with a departure card and an I94 under my cousin's name but my picture.

Paying SSS doesn't prove citizenship.

 

 

 

Birth certificate only proves Nationality, not citizenship.

 

I guess i really do need an attorney and lots of prayers. Ill get to this after my graduation. But it's too much for me right now. I have a Wife and Kid that will be left in case i got deported. I researched and i think i can get a Travel Document, a one time use document to exit the US and enter Philippines

Walking to Mexico isn't the answer.    You can return to the Philippines from within the USA just as easily .. without having to learn Spanish    

 

Yes, you need to talk with an attorney .    You are in a Catch 22 situation.

 

 

That is what I thought.

 

You could get work in a call center with ease in the Philippines because of how well you speak English.  

 

 

Side Note: I have been paying Philippine Social Security System through the office here in San Fo, I have an UMID ID ( will that be usefull in proving im a filipino citizen??)

Oh,  sorry.  You didn't state that I did the silly and assUme things.    

 

So the question still remains, how do you file taxes?     How are you working without an SSN?

 

Do you speak Tagalog?

 

 

I tried working "Under the Table" Jobs before, just to get by as life here is very hard and downright impossible without work. Well i do "part-time jobs" now like Cleaning, Baby Sitting and Others and they don't request for my Status and Documents. but i guess it's still illegal

I speak very little tagalog. I was raised In San Fo, I studied Elementary, Middle, High School and College here. That's why im worried about coming back to the Philippines as i have not been there for 19 years

An attorney can help with a bar.  You may be eligible for a waiver.  I think that depends on how they view entering on a passport not your own.

I'm only 5 when i entered. But i'll bring up the "Waiver" with an attorney once times permits

I was aware of how your entered the USA ... 

 

YOU can not use that passport or I-94 !!!  That is FRAUD as it is not your passport!     Fraud can get you a lifetime ban.

 

You have been married 5 years, how does your husband file taxes as a married couple if you do not have an SSN ?   Or is he filing as single?

I have an ITIN, i acquired it for college right after we married 5 years ago

Correct.   Which is why I asked if she had applied earlier, and even that is "on hold" until the supreme court is done chewing on it.

 

And I don't see any option of her getting a Philippine passport with her current status.   

 

Only options are; 

 

1) Get past legal status in the USA, which isn't likely at this time either.   

2) Return to the Philippines, acquire her Philippine passport and start the petition process.  (which raises questions in itself)

I'm a HE lol, I guess i can face a 10 year bar? ( is that applicable even if the passport i used isnt in my name) then be petitioned by my wife. Honestly though I don't know how to start over there, What opportunity or what kind of life would i have in there?
