US Immigration from Philippines

My fianc e raised this question after I already sent her the paperwork, I had not thought of it.

"US Citizen" is the first box and obviously makes sense because I am a US Citizen. However, "US National" is maybe more applicable, as I never applied and received my citizenship, but was born in the US. Kind of a confusing question. Technically I am both, maybe it doesn't matter one way or the other.

Any thoughts?

Can any one explain to me if I an American can move to Canada and work there. What is the process for me to do that.

Our K-1 visa status on CEAC recently changed to "Approved" but the K-2 status (4 year old daughter) is still stuck at "Application Received." Has anyone else experienced this? Do you know how long it might be until K-2 changes to Approved? I'm only concerned becuase we are on such a tight schedule / need to fly out by the end of this month (July) due to pregnancy flight restrictions. Thanks!

We were approved June 24, 2025. Tomorrow is 10 business days since then, but still our CEAC status is "Case Received" not "Approved" or better yet, "Issued." Fianc is 7, almost 8 months pregnant. After the end of this month (July) she can't fly due to airline restrictions/health of the mother. Our visa expires October 28, 2025. So, If I don't get notice that visa were issued in the next few days we miss the July window, baby is born in Philippines, and we have to hope birth certificate / CRBA can be done between due date (Sept 3-13) and visa expiration (Oct. 28). A highly unlikely timeline.

Very discouraged. I've sent inquiries to both US Embassy and to US Travel Docs about an hour ago, and will start calling the Embassy tonight (Philippine s daytime).

Any suggestions??? We will be absolutely crushed and heartbroken if our visa expires and we have to start all over again - the time, the expense, the heartache of being apart from my fianc , her 4 year old daughter, and our newborn son for 1.5 to 2 more years is too much.

Not wanting to get in any more trouble, I'll just say Dina got her Certificate.

Looking at insane air prices now. Cheapest take you to S. Korea or Japan first. Dina veto'ed that and I

agree. PAL is easiest but very expensive. Happy medium is MNL/GUM/HNL. Almost $500 less than PAL.

Guam would become her POE. Has anyone heard good/bad about going thru there?? Also there is a 3 hr layover.

I am assuming that is more than enough time to get thru immigration and to next gate? I can't imagine at 430am

there would be much of an immigration line.
