Dual Citizenship

[lyricalan 18]

Hello, When I marry my Filipino fiancee' and she moves to the states, does she still retain her citizenship in the Philippines? I read somewhere that Filipino's that change their citizenship to some other country are limited to amount of land or property that they can own in the Philippines. So I am somewhat confused as to whether she will only have U.S. citizenship or will she still retain her Filipino citizenship as well. Thanks

When she becomes a USC, she can apply for Dual Citizenship to re-acquire her Filipino citizenship.

You do realise she will NOT be a US citizen when she enters, right? She will not be a US citizen for many years.

She won't even be anything but a K1 visa entrant until after you're married and she files for, is approved for, her greencard. Then she will be an LPR, not a citizen.

If/when the time come to become a USC she will lose her Philippines citizenship, but she just needs to reapply and from reading on here it's a very simple process and little to no risk of denial. So make sure you research the processes so she knows what she needs to do if/when the time comes.

Thanks for the more in depth explanation. I appreciate the response
