Need advices for my son naturalization....

[rebelheart 0]

Hi everyone, I don't know if this is early to asked. BUT ......

It happened that, my son got his residency already .. and we're already into finalization of his adoption papers by court. That will give the rights to my US citizen husband by birth, his new father now and my son will be using my husband last name.

I don't know how we apply a new birth certificate for him here in US "ONLY" to show his change name. OR we got another option bcoz we're about to visit Phils. again ... we're thinking to update my son birth certificate in Phils. as for name change and to include my USC husband in his birth certificate, certified by NSO using the adoption papers as proof and his greencard (though my son greencard still on my maiden name) showing his residency in US.

Is it possible for my son to apply for US passport when the time we come back to US after his birth certificate updated to my husband last name but registered in Phils. NSO and supported by final adoption papers??? that makes him eligible to be a US citizen by naturalization as a minor adopted child of an adoptee US citizen parent??

Hope you understand my inquiries.... any advices will be appreciated so much. thanks & God bless!

I think of if your son already has a green card and he is adopted by your husband, he becomes a citizen as soon as his adoption becomes final. You can apply for his U.S. passport after the adoption is final. I am not completely sure but I think it is the law.
