US Immigration from Philippines

Hi all,

I know similar posts have been made and answered by topsecret and others already, but for my own piece of mind I wanted to make sure I don't miss anything.

My wife (Filipino Citizen) and 7 year old daughter (born in Philippines, never left and a dual citizen of USA as well) will be leaving the Philippines next month to the US. My wife was just approved for her IR-1 VISA.

So far I am aware we need the following for them to exit the Philippines:

1). CFO for Wife (General Guidance and Counseling)

2). Register with E-Travel system within 72 hrs of Departure (wife & daughter)

3). Paid Travel Tax for leaving Philippines first time (may or may not be included in airfare depending if purchased through 3rd party or not)

4). Filipino Passport for wife and US & Filipino passports for daughter

5). Proof of parental relationship between my wife and daughter (such as CRBA)

Did I miss anything?

Also, just to confirm we don't need a Travel Clearance for Minors from the DSWD for my daughter do we? From what I read she is EXEMPT from it due to her biological mother traveling with her.

Thank you so much for any help!

I was married in 2013 and have my 10yr green card. During the marriage I had a child with someone else in 2017. My ex and I tried to work things out but when covid came he decided it was time to move on. Partly because I told him my child was mine and only mine. In 2021 we officially got divorced. Will they hold it against me for having my son. I get along real well with my ex.

Hello,

I have been reviewing some websites and I have a few questions:

1. It seems that once my LPR wife becomes a naturalized citizen, her LPR stepdaughter who lives with us and is under 18, will automatically become a U.S. Citizen as well. Can you please confirm that to be true?

2. My LPR stepdaughter's conditional green card expires May of next year. If her mother's naturalization doesn't happen by February, we will need to file for the ROC for her at that time. Is that also true?

3. When my wife becomes a naturalized citizen, what will happen to my daughter's ROC filing if there is overlap between the two processes? Does it just become disappear or do I have to alert USCIS?

Thanks for your help.

Hi everyone. Can someone please help. My mother and my father are holding my Malaysian birth certificate from me. We have tried calling the police but they laugh at me and tell me to make up with my mom and ask her for it (she refuses to give it to me "for my protection"), we have tried contacting Malaysia but they're saying in order to extract a birth certificate they need my parent to come with me to get it even though I am 20. My whole family is against me because they don't want me to leave the country and I am losing hope. Please if anyone knows anything that we can do to get my birth certificate because I need my final interview done. I am begging for anyone who can give any advice at all.

Hi guys,

We will pick up our visa yellow packet today at Parqal. My fiance has read in the tic Tok Army post that the Manila CFO office is difficult to get the certificate compared to the other locations. She he hell bent on going to Cebu for her CFO because what she read on Tic Tok.

Has anyone experienced any problem with the Manila office? Has there been any delays in issuing the CFO certificate? From what i read from previous posts, the CFO is issued electronically (QR) in an email within 1 hour after the seminar has ended. Is this still correct?
