Philippine Dual Citizenship: How You May Already Have It! 🤩🇵🇭

Natural-born Filipino citizens are those who are citizens of the Philippines from birth without having to perform any act to acquire or perfect their Philippine citizenship. These are:
• Those whose fathers or mothers are Filipino citizens at the time of their birth; and
• Those born before January 17, 1973, of Filipino mothers, who elect Philippine citizenship upon reaching the age of majority.

Hi, and welcome to The Immigrant Lawyer. My name is Lia, and I'm an immigrant turned immigrants' rights advocate with a passion for mindful movement.
Mindful movement, in my life, means migration + mobility.
Migration is the movement of people from one place to another, with the intention of settling at a new location. As an immigration attorney licensed and practicing in California, I've worked with families, asylum seekers, and survivors of crime and violence from all over the world and advised a Fortune 10 tech company on strategies for U.S. immigration & global mobility. Recently, I made the switch to civil litigation in the hopes of becoming a more well-rounded legal advocate.
Mobility is the ability to move freely, which I like to do by teaching and practicing yoga-Pilates-HIIT.
The Immigrant Lawyer is my offering to our community of movers and doers. Join me here as we dive into U.S. immigration processes and policies and unwind our mind and body with some stretching, cardio, and flexibility together.
Thank you for tuning in. Til next time ~

Hello, Mark! Kamusta? USCIS processing times egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ are pretty accurate naman, though cases may differ depending on the specific situation. You can email me sa [e-mail]

Hi Ma’am ask about certificate legal capacity my fincee US citizen meron kami legal capacity notarized online pero Hindi sa US embassy Manila need ba talaga notarized ng US embassy Manila thank you so much

[@theimmigrantlawyer]

Hello! Yes, the "certificate of legal capacity to contract marriage" will need to be notarized ng U.S. Embassy Manila (or U.S. Consular Agency Cebu). Pero your U.S. citizen fiance may be able to provide an affidavit instead of the certificate, as Philippine authorities have accepted affidavits in lieu of that certificate: ph.usembassy.gov/services/notarials/

[@ginaloquias7995]

@@theimmigrantlawyer yes Ma’am we have affidavit in Lieu of Certificate of Legal Capacity for US Citizen notarized locally due to PSA October 31 already finish and then we have US notarized by Calendly

Hello po! You should be able to request a replacement copy from your nearest Philippine Embassy/Consulate, which you can find here: philippineembassy-dc.org/consulate-finder/

Hiii, my mom is still a philippine citizen and if she becomes a us citizen before I report my birth, does that make me no longer eligible to do it? Thank you!

[@theimmigrantlawyer]

Hello! Yes, you would still be eligible as long as your mother/father was a Filipino citizen when you were born
