Recognition as a filipino citizen for my philippine born children with crba

[Jeanine84 0]

My children were born in the philippines and have crba us citizenship from the us embassy manila. As far as i understand they no longer hold philippine citizenship, please correct me if im wrong. I would like for them to be recognized as filipino citizens. I am a dual national with filipino citizenship however i was not a filipino at the time of my childrens birth so id like for their father to be the one to petition them for recognition as a filipino. Their father is a filipino citizen and carries no other citizenship.

 

can he do this all at he buerau of immigration philippines without the need for foreign documents from the usa? I checked the requirements https://www.scribd.com/document/139213811/Recognition-as-Filipino-Citizen  and it seems as though it is possible being that my children  carry Nso birth certificates.

 

When i filed for my recognition as a filipino citizen (through my mother and i was in the phil)  my mother was in the usa and had to make several trips to the philippine consulate to get papers authenticated and i would like to avoid that, but i think my case is more trying then theirs because i was us born and my mother a naturalized citizen of usa. 

 

i think this time around we will not have to do that being as though my childrens father is a filipino citizen at their birth until now and carries no other citizenship and they were born in the philippines. 

 

I'm asking because me and the children are currently in the untied states and if i need any paperwork for the recognition process id like to get it done if possible, before going back to the philippines so its ready when their father files for the recognition. 

 

Might i add that the father and i are not married however they do carry his last name and his name is on their nso birth certificate and he did sign the acknowledgement of paternity on their nso.

If you are in the USA then you have go through the SF Consulate for everything. So if you have all that documentation then you shouldn't need much else. The link is below and overall it looks fairly simple to do.

For citizenship it is required that one parent is a Filipino at the time of birth .. The father is listed on the birth certificate, and he did sign the birth certificate at the time of birth.    So for all intent and purposes the child is a dual citizen  

 

The child did not lose Philippine citizenship at completion of CRBA..... IF he was actually considered as a Filipino at birth he is and always will be a Filipino and USC.    There is only a recognition process to complete so I have read...   Which requires your participation as you have sole custody of the child.  But it will also requires the father I am sure as acknowledgement  ++  would be required. 

 

I know of many that simple started the process for a Philippine passport and they side stepped the whole recognition thing .. but your issue is slightly different so not sure how that will go.   You are the sole custody parent, you could simple try applying for a passport for your child through the consulate that represents your state.

There is not a dual citizenship process .. as with a person that is naturalized.     There is not a Retention/Re acquisition.   Child never lost Philippine citizenship.

 

Child IS a Filipino by birth and doesn't loose that when CRBA is completed.      There may be a recognition process .. but that is about it.   They could have been avoided if they had gotten the Philippines passport at the same time as they were completing CRBA .. they would have avoided the ECC fees then also $$$$$$$$$$$$

Thank you for that idea of applying them passports at the consulate here, I will look into it as I plan to visit regardless to inquire about the situation. 

That is true that I could have applied a phil passport for them, however I didn’t think of it at the time.

But here’s a fact, when getting the ECC we only paid about one month in penalty (from the date of us passport issuance) not from date of birth which I’ve read all over the VJ website. The immigration officer mentioned something about both parents being Filipinos. Me a dual and the father Filipino.

Hopefully the passport will go through without a hitch .. then everything is smooth sailing.   Passport is proof of citizenship
