Keeping PH citizenship

 Share

Recommended Posts

So the plan is for my PH fiance to eventually become a US citizen (in order to get the travel privileges and other benefits) instead of just being a permanent resident.

BUT

in the future we may wish to return to the PH to retire... As such it's important that she keep her PH residency so that we can work, own land, etc.

Can anyone provide information on how she can keep dual residency?

Easily done. This can be done through the consulate representing the state you live in or if in the Philippines through BI

Asking a Philippines related no matter the subject is fine. She should take her Filipino citizenship back and she will have all her rights restored. Follow the links that Hank supplied in his post.
