Hello all,

I have a complicated question if anyone can help. I have a friend who was born in the US.

He immigrated to Canada and is now a dual national (US and Canada).

He used his Canadian passport to enter the Philippines and has been living there for the past 20 years as a dual national (US and Canada).

His parents then applied for a US Passport in US Embassy in Manila by using his US Birth Certificate. He was given a US Passport that is issued from Manila, Philippines.

Right now, he has an expired US Passport and he is interested to know how to aquire a new US Passport.

My question is, will he be able to apply for a US Passport in USEM because he has been living in Manila for the last 20 years. (His US Passport was issued in Manila) Will he be getting himself into trouble?

Or should he come back to the US using his Canadian passport to apply for the US Passport in the US. However, if he does this, will he be questioned how was he able to enter the US if his US Passport had already expired.

Will he lose his US Citizenship by living in the Philippines.

Anyone who can help will be appreciated.

My question is, will he be able to apply for a US Passport in USEM because he has been living in Manila for the last 20 years. (His US Passport was issued in Manila) Will he be getting himself into trouble?

How Expired is his US passport and when was it originally issued?

Or should he come back to the US using his Canadian passport to apply for the US Passport in the US. However, if he does this, will he be questioned how was he able to enter the US if his US Passport had already expired.

First place to look/read-up-on is HERE :thumbs:

Will he lose his US Citizenship by living in the Philippines. No :no:
