Congrats to gary & spunky! :dance:

hi Wendy... thanks for the response ....

i just wanna share to you that when i asked it to my husband, he said my maiden name now is my last name, so my middle name should be my mother's maiden name. like this.... :blink: (confused)

ROWENA (1st name) REBEL (middlename/mother's) HEART (maiden name/father's) QUIXOTE (marriedname)

whatyathink??? :whistle: , well you're right, they were not used of having mother's maidenname as their middle name, they used their 2nd name as their middlename. :lol:

Ha, she tells me I will probably have to feed 500 people at the wedding celebration, because she's one of the favorites of the family and everyone in the barangay knows her.
Make that 600 people to feed, StarProg. You've got to feed your VJ Manila friends too! :lol:
Quick , someone hand me a tissue. I am crying, sooooooooo much romance and love in the air. x x x

I tried to browse this morning about CCA (Children's Citizenship Act), i believe i need to apply for AOS for my son so we cud change his status ... but the things is .. my son is in my husband lastname now, but my son AOS file should be in my maiden name since thats the name appear in his K2 visa. And we enter US as emmigrant or immigrants already???

this is what ive got ...... can u pls help me out tto understand this matter THAT MY SON COULD AUTOMATICALLY ACQUIRE CITIZENSHIP AS ADOPTED SON??

BCOS MY UNDERSTANDING TO THIS ACT IS, my son could fall under to :

- "adoption finalized in the US" and

- "to the requirements is, DOES MY SON COULD FALL TO ENTER TO US AS IMMIGRANT ALREADY??"

Frequently Asked Questions about the CCA

1) Does my child qualify for automatic citizenship under the CCA?

Under CCA, your child will automatically acquire U.S. citizenship on the date that all of the following requirements are satisfied:

• At least one adoptive parent is a U.S. citizen,

• The child is under 18 years of age,

• If the child is adopted, a full and final adoption of the child, and

• The child is admitted to the United States as an immigrant

2) Do I have to apply to USCIS for my child's citizenship?

No. If your child satisfies the requirements listed above, he or she automatically acquires U.S. citizenship by operation of law on the day he or she is admitted to the United States as an immigrant. Your child’s citizenship status is no longer dependent on USCIS approving a naturalization application.

Hi Rebel,

In certain cases, adoption by USC does not automatically grant an adopted child US citizenship. Automatic citizenship is possible only if the adopted child was admitted as IR2 (immediate relative-adopted child), IR3 (orphan adopted abroad), and IR4 (orphan coming to the U.S. for adoption).

Your son may have satisfied requirement nos. 1,2,3 but he did not meet requirement no. 4 (Be admitted as an immigrant for lawful permanent residence).

Since your son was admitted as K2, which is a non-immigrant visa, he did not satisfy all the requirements hence he has to do AOS even if he is now an adopted child.

Hiya all,

I have the court decision in my hands now so off to the embassy I go this afternoon. I don't have a Certificate of Finality yet but I'll take my chance and submit the decision just the same. Who knows, out of pity for poor little me who's been waiting forever and ever, the embassy might grant me the visa even without the finality document. I know that's wishful thinking but hey, I can always hope :yes: If not, then wait 15 more days for the finality thingy to be issued.

And so I have to patiently wait again... :clock::cry:

But I'm happy with the way things are developing. This will be over soon :yes:

Thanks for the reply PW, yes we're filling for AOS now for K1/K2, the automatic citizenship we could acquire for my son is after he got the green card, we already phone-in for such inquiries to clear things out.

CONGRATULATIONS :dance: in advance for the release of the document you need, for your soon visa release.

pasensya na... another question..... :blink:

is my married certificate & phils passport (in maidenname) support as my identification???? as i knew i couldn't apply ssn until my EAD release. but the thing is we need to do paper works on commingling of assets in our both names as married couple, as for like banks, i doubt banks could just accept marriage cert only, as for my phil passport its still on my maidenname.... im on K1 .. i can't asked this to Wendy and Helen bcos they we're in k3 visa's.

i was thinking of re-applying my phil passport in my married name, but its complicated bcos i need to surrender my passport as old one for a renew, but my visa & i-94 attached on my passport. and as in phils. personal show need in order to give u a passport right?? and no phil embassy nearby here, hmmm also i cannot apply for driver's license bcos i dont have time for now to learn to drive, busy taking care of my family that is.

hhaaayyy ....... just like doing the processing again on first time :D pasensya na.

regards & god bless!

Thank you, Andrea. Is Rommel there with you now?

Hi Rebel,

I’ve read lots of stories of how difficult it is for newly-married immigrants to have to change their names, apply for credit card, get identification, etc. There are banks that are unreasonable but there are others who understand our unique situation. Some would accept a passport with your marriage certificate as proper identification while others may not. You may want to scout around for banks that are more “client-friendly”.

You need not renew a valid passport in order to get your married name listed down. What you can do is to request for an amendment of your passport with the Philippine Embassy in Washington, DC. They accept applications via courier. Your new married name will be reflected on page 3 of the passport (“Mga Susog – Amendments”).

Here’s the website for our embassy.

Here’s the form and instructions for filing

Hiya all,

I have the court decision in my hands now so off to the embassy I go this afternoon. I don't have a Certificate of Finality yet but I'll take my chance and submit the decision just the same. Who knows, out of pity for poor little me who's been waiting forever and ever, the embassy might grant me the visa even without the finality document. I know that's wishful thinking but hey, I can always hope :yes: If not, then wait 15 more days for the finality thingy to be issued.

And so I have to patiently wait again... :clock::cry:

But I'm happy with the way things are developing. This will be over soon :yes:

wow..congrats!!!...well, that;s what i asked you PW before about the finality i mean the letter from solicitor general from manila office if the u.s embassy needs that during your interview.....anyway, when we submitted our my papers to the u.s embassy cebu to get my husband's legal capacity to marry the consul only needs the decision he doesn;t required us the certificate of finality hopefully you can get visa soon without waiting 15days.

Hi Jazzy,

The Certificate of Finality is not issued by the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) but is issued by the same court that granted the petition. What the court does is to wait 15 days from the date the decision is rendered to give the OSG time to file any opposition. If the OSG does not oppose within the time frame, the Finality is issued. The communication is internal between the court and OSG.

When I told the court clerk that I was going straight to the embassy to submit the decision, she told me not to waste my time because the embassy would still require me to submit the finality. She told me of similar cases before me wherein the embassy sent the ladies back to court to wait for the finality. I just took my chance that the embassy might not require it from me since I had a finality for the 1st annulment. I hope I get lucky :yes:
