Hello,

I am planning to travel the Philippines to take up nursing degree. Since I have a bachelor's degree from my native land and it will only take me about 2 year to finish the course. I've been in the State for 5 years now and a green card holder. What are the papers I need to re-enter the country? I'll be back with in 2 years time or more it depends how long I will finish the nursing course. Do I need to process my papers here in US Immigration and in the Philippines as well?

I am also taking my children with me they are both US Citizen. What are the travel document they needed aside from their passport? My husband is an American but he is not coming with us. Do I need a letter of consent from my husband to take our children with me to the Philippines? I don't want to be in trouble and charge for kidnapping. (God forbid...)I just wanted everything to be safe and smooth sealing. Do we need to go the Consulate to present my children. As what I have known they are only allowed to stay for 90 days. I need to know the answer as soon as possible. We are planning to leave by March. We only have a couple of month to process everything. We need to be there early coz I also need to process my school papers. I am planning to attend summer classes.

Please help me!!!!!

I think the answer to your question lies in whether you have your husbands consent for the kids to travel abroad. If you do, no problem. If not, problem. Then it's a custody issue, not an immigration issue. As far as how long they can stay in the philippines, that depends on Philippine immigratation law. If they have joint citizenship, and I'm not even sure the Philippines allows joint citizenship, then they can stay as long as they want. Check into that, they may have philippine citizenship automatically.

I don't have a problem with my husband but I just wanted to be safe. Since he is the one to offer me to take the course in the Philippines. We are doing this for our children's future.

I think the answer to your question lies in whether you have your husbands consent for the kids to travel abroad. If you do, no problem. If not, problem. Then it's a custody issue, not an immigration issue. As far as how long they can stay in the philippines, that depends on Philippine immigratation law.

Here is the visa info from the Philippines.

Curious though as to why you wouldn't stay in U.S. for school with so many hospitals willing to pay off education debts of RN's in return for a 2-3 year contract.

I just wanted to study in the Philippines. It is cheaper over there compared here. We don't want to have too much debt in school. It will only cost us almost $ 400 per semester. But I will back here in the State to work as soon I got my RN...
