dual citizen US/filipino filing k-1..i have a few questions

[blakeydaff 1]

hello everyone this is my first time posting on here but i had a few questions about my citizenship.

i acquired a dual citizenship because i went to school for 4 years in the Philippines .

i have my birth certificate as well as my passports(both US which expired 06/14 and Filipino exp 02/14).

1. should i send copies of all of them and send it with the I-129F packet?

2. do i need to place US/Filipino under citizenship?

3 do i need to explain or prove that i am a dual citizenship anywhere on the packet?

4. will it be a problem that the passports are expired? (i am only using them for the stamps proving that i arrived and left the Philippines.)

any feedback will help greatly..i have everything already setup to send i am just a bit worried about that and if i need to make any changes.

thanks you very much,

blake

You state that are a USC and prove it with your US birth certificate or naturalization. The US passport can be expired, as long as you are not using it to prove your US citizenship.

The US does not care about your Filipino citizenship.

The US only care that you are a USC.

Do not put down - US/Phillipine citizen. Just put down US citizen.

can i just use the stamp and bio page? coz im using it to prove that may fiancée and i have met in the last 2 years and the stamps are on the Phil passport..

If you will be using your passport to prove USC, it has to be unexpired. And yes the bio page is sufficient for this purpose. Only the pages with the visa stamps to visit your fiance are relevant, you don't have to make copies of the entire passport. You should also include other things to prove you met within last two years like airline receipts, hotel receipts, photos together, etc.

thanks a bunch for the feedback.. so ill be putting the copy of my biopage and stamps as part of my proof of meeting within the last 2 years, then using only my birth certificate as proof for USC.

This is a USC process only (for now forget about being a dual citizen).

1) Send copies of all pages of ONLY your U.S. passport for proving citizenship (oops yours is expired). Or if you were born in the USA a copy of the birth certificate. Or if naturalized a copy of that document.

2) You MUST be a U.S. citizen to do the I-129F petition (once again forget about the dual citizenship, concentrate on USC)

3) NO~! This is a U.S. process (forget about the dual citizenship, it has nothing to do with this process)

4) Both passports being expired is not an issue when using them to should evidence (exit/entry stamps) of having met within the past two years for the I-129F.

Erase dual citizenship from your thoughts.

To help pass time while waiting on the I-129F approval pop over to the Philippines forum.
