I even know of U.S. citizens who are Filipinos by birth and they can't even qualify for dual citizenship under RA 9225, because they couldn't show proof of previously being a former Filipino citizen, even though they have birth certificates showing that they were born in the Philippines, also when the day they were born, they were immediately registered with the U.S. Embassy and also left the Philippines using a U.S. passport and not a Filipino passport, meaning they never been a Filipino citizen and or also due to the Jus sanguinis rule which is a "principle of nationality law", so technically you are not a Fil/Am by definition, because you are a full pledge American, because of your actual birth in the U.S.. even with a Filipino nationality by blood relations!
Maybe that's the loop hole that hitekcountry is looking for which sounds correct, but I believe with one stipulation, that the child or teen before his 18th birthday, must decide whether to become a Filipino or an American Citizen or loose that option with the U.S. Embassy and will be a Filipino Citizen by default beyond his/her 18th birthday or he/she can later legally immigrate to the U.S. petitioned by an immediate family in the U.S., but that's neither here nor there in his situation! So what's his solution since he's already in his late 60s?
I'm filling out the application for my wife and kids and have a few questions, hopefully someone has figured this out.First how many copies do I need? One place it says I need 1 original and 1 duplicate copy. A different place it states I need 1 original and 4 copies.The processing fee is $50. Will the $50 cover my wife and the two girls or is the processing fee $50 per person for a total of $150?
