Child's last name issue

[Jihera 0]

Hello. Mabuhay! 

Isa po akong Pilipino na naka Petition ng aking adoptive parents. May anak po ako na naka Apelyido sa kanyang Tatay (Illegitimate). 5years old. Hindi ko po kasama ang tatay ng anak ko. At wala din support sa anak ko.

 

Nais ko pong malaman kung madadala ko po ang anak ko sa USA ng walang problema?  Ano po ba ang aking dapat gawin o ayusin na papel para po hindi ako magkaroon ng aberya sa dadating na panahon.

 

At kung manatili na po kami sa USA. Maaari bang baguhin ng LAW ng USA na mapalitan ang apelyido ng anak ko?  Sa pilipinas kasi ay 18years old  ay puwede ka mag File sa court, ayon po sa nabasa ko.

 

Maraming Salamat po.

Hello. Mabuhay!

 

I am one of the Filipinos already in the petition of my adoptive parents. I have a son who is a Surname with his Dad (Illegitimate). 5years old. I'm not with my son's dad. And there is no support for my child.

 

I want to know if I can bring my child to the USA without problems? What should I do for a paper so I will not be at a loss in the future.

 

And if we stay in the USA. Can the US LAW change the name of my child's last name? In the Philippines since 18years old you can file in court, according to what I read.

 

Thank you very much.

1st thing I would suggest is getting the birth certificate corrected IN the Philippines (this process starts at the local registry where the child's birth certificate was first recorded).      You were never married to the father?

 

Question.   How old are you?    

 

Next Question.   Are your adoptive parents USC?

 

>>   Can you bring your son to the USA?   General answer ... yes.    .. with an "if" on how that would be accomplished, depending on the status of your adoptive parents and such.     Lots of variables.  

 

Can you correct his name once in the USA .. sure, how it is accomplished will vary by state.   Talk to an attorney when that day arrives.

"I am 24. Not married to my son's father."

My parents has their green card. 

 

Is my son's last name can be a problem? I can't change his last name because of the illegitimate law here in the Philippines. PSA They are not helping. Maybe a lawyer. 

 

Thankyou for your answer

It is not a big deal leaving the BC as is, I just thought it might be easier changing the name while in the Phils.   Leave that one as is and handle it later then is my 

 

Ok your parents are LPR/green card holders .. that opens up an option for you to add your son to YOUR petition as a derivative.   (couldn't do this if they were USC)

 

At what stage is your visa process?
