[waraywarayako 4]

Just recently filed my dual citizenship ( virtual submission of files, in short I just emailed my documents ) depends which state your located at with jurisdiction of Phil consulate, in my case I submitted mine https://newyorkpcg.org/pcgny/consular-services/dual-citizenship-ra-9225/ http://newyorkpcg.org/pcgny/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/9NovDual-Citizenship-Application-Form-11-November-2020.pdf    after 3 years of being a naturalized citizen. Two of my boys was born Filipino father from previous marriage, and one is American born, now 3 years of age (girl) with my present husband.                                        What to do and how to do it?                         For married Filipina to a (foreigner ) with dependents:  First thing, file a Report of Marriage at Philippine consulate submitted ours (July 19, 2015) at the same time I applied new passport with my current family name. At that time I’m still on my adjustment of status. Fast forward, 3 years after of all bulky papers for USCIS here comes my notice for oathtaking that would take place July 2017. I was about to give birth to (newborn baby) a week after my due was supposed to be my oathtaking so I have to visit USCIS for rescheduling my oathtaking for Naturalization, exciting!   Finally, received my scheduled appointment for my oathtaking, (Sept. 19, 2017), but before that, filed my daughter’s Report of Birth (Sept 13, 2017) and Philippine passport (she is now a dual citizenship of US & Philippines by virtue of birth from one Filipino parent before becoming a citizen).  On the other hand, my 2nd son who is now 18 yrs of age is  my dependent, as the other one is of age to file for his own.                                                              As of now:
