Need HELP!!!

[Lyka torres 0]

Need some assistance and guidance on how to proceed.

my situtaion:

i am basing my self to be an automatic US citizen based on Child citizen Act 2000

i was only 17 years old at that time. i have been living on US soil since i was 2years old.

My mother became a US citizen in 1994 but she forgot to do my papers when i was young

since i am at age already i am doing it now.

<My problem is before i even turn in the form and waste hundreds of dollars.

My birth certificate last name is different from my permanent residence card and Passport.

For example:

My birth certificate last name is showing marquez (which is my father last name)

my permanent residence card and Philippines passport is showing: Torres (mother maiden name)

Also i am unable to retrieve a new birth certificate because i dont have anymore family in the philippines

What should i do? or how to proceed to do my application.

Thanks

Lyka Torres

Have you gone the Philippine Consulate Office at the ITC Building? They may be able to help you correct the birth certificate issue or advise you on how to best proceed.

yes i called the Philippine Consulate and talked to the assistance.

she had advise me to call NSO and Local civil register office in manila.

also she had mention that i had to ask my mother to do a process of subsequence marriage and something about legitimate of child.

i dont talk to mother as often anymore so i will be hard for me to do that process.

do you know any other option?

No, I don't know of any other option. Have you called the NSO to find out what the processes are to have your name corrected? I know for small errors, the process is relatively simple. But what you need requires many more steps of proof and verifications I am assuming. Since the NSO controls the issuance of official Birth Certificates it makes sense to contact them since the Consulate advised you to do so.

Try posting your question in the Philippines portal instead of the Guam portal. You will have much more repsonses. Ask the question...

"I am in the US. How do I correct my last name on my Birth Certificate?" or something similar
