As long as you register the birth with the US embassy in Manila you will have no problem.
You'll need.
1. The child's birth certificate from the National Records Office in Manila.
2. A certified true copy of your marriage certificate.
3. Proof of your husband's American citizenship.
4. Your Green Card, airline tickets and passport showing the date you arrived in the Philippines.
File the Report of Birth Abroad form and pay a fee. In about two weeks the US embassy will issue a passport and social security card for the baby.
You'll need to take the baby's new American passport and birth certificate to Philippines Immigration. They will put an arrival stamp on the passport so that the baby can legally leave the country.What's my child's citizenship if Im greencard holder married to a citizen %26amp; want to give birth to Philippines?
your kid is America due to the fact his or her father is American Citizen!!!
good luck
Americans Born Overseas
The birth of a child abroad to U.S. citizen parent(s) should be reported as soon as possible to the nearest American consular office for the purpose of establishing an official record of the child鈥檚 claim to U.S. citizenship at birth. The official record is in the form of a Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America. This document, referred to as the Consular Report of Birth or FS-240, is considered a basic United States citizenship document. An original FS-240 is furnished to the parent(s) at the time the registration is approved.
If the father is an American Citizen you can apply for Citizenship for your son that way (after hes born). If the Philippines have ';birth Citizenship'; then your son is automatically considerd a philippino, when he gets his US citizenship (not hard to get as you and your husband are Americans, it should be almost instant.), he will become a dual citizen. Very good to have!
As your baby has a citizen father, it will most probably be a dual American-Filipino citizen. :-)
He can become US citizen.
In most countries.. the childs citizenship is based on where the child is born NOT the citizenship of the parents. This is why so many illegals come to the US to have their babies.. because then the babies can be born here, be US citizens and get benefits form Food Stamps to Welfare!
1) Your greencard holder status is irrelevant for the child's US citizenship. If it is born in US territory it is a US citizen, if it is not, you will not pass it any status.
2) Assuming that, (A) the ';citizen'; you are married to is a US citizen AND he is the father or registers the child as his, then there are conditions for him to pass the US citizenship to the child.
2.1) If the father (or mother) was born in US territory, they can pass on the citizenship to the non US territory born child, but this process should be done as soon as possible.
2.2) If the father's (or mother's) citizenship was not gained by birthplace but by bloodline (one or both of his/hers parents was US citizen, for example), then, he (or she) must of have lived for at least 5 non consecutive years in the US.
(You might want to check these facts, but they were passed to me by a friend who is in the exact same situation as described in 2.2)
PS: Congratulations on the baby.
OMG no have the child in the US and then it is an American citizen. He/she wont need to become a citizen they will be a citizen as their father is a citizen and child born in the US.
Your child will have Filipino citizenship since it was born in the Philippines.
It used to be a CONSALER REPORT BIRTH ABROAD OF A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES.Your child is automacially a citezen by birth.
Your child will be a US. citzen. don't care where the child was or is born, his father is a US. citzen so If the child were born in the Philippines he or she is a Douala citizenship so you can apply for a US pass port for the child.
