    Hi, and welcome to The Immigrant Lawyer. My name is Lia, and I'm an immigrant turned immigrants' rights advocate with a passion for mindful movement.
    Mindful movement, in my life, means migration + mobility.
    Migration is the movement of people from one place to another, with the intention of settling at a new location. As an immigration attorney licensed and practicing in California, I've worked with families, asylum seekers, and survivors of crime and violence from all over the world and advised a Fortune 100 tech company on strategies for U.S. immigration & global mobility. Recently, I made the switch to civil litigation in the hopes of becoming a more well-rounded legal advocate.
    Mobility is the ability to move freely, which I like to do by teaching and practicing yoga-Pilates-HIIT.
    The Immigrant Lawyer is my offering to our community of movers and doers. Join me here as we dive into U.S. immigration processes and policies and unwind our mind and body with some stretching, cardio, and flexibility together.
    Thank you for tuning in. Til next time ~

    I was denied dual citizenship last week in Elk Grove, CA. My father born in Malolos, Bulacan retired US Navy and became US Citizen. My mother was a Filipino citizen at the time of my birth. I was born before 1973 and was told I’m ineligible due to my father being US Citizen. What do you think.
    I forgot to mention I was born in Manila.

      Was your father a Filipino citizen at the time of your birth?
      Were your parents married at the time of your birth?
      LEGITIMATE CHILD BORN BEFORE 17 JANUARY 1973: The father was a Filipino citizen at the time of the child’s birth, as indicated in the PSA Birth Certificate. If the father is not Filipino, the child must have formally elected Filipino citizenship upon reaching the age of majority.

No birth certificate was availble from my birth town and there was no PSA then, a letter of affidavit was signed by 3 who were familiar of my parents that i was born in the same municipality. The US Navy accepted it. Do i still have to obtain my birth certificate from PSA?

Do I have to report his birth first or I can go ahead and file for dual citizenship for the principal’s minor derivative. Thank you very much if you can response.

      Hello! If you were still a Filipino citizen when your son was born, you can report his birth now, and he would automatically become a Filipino citizen. If you were already a U.S. citizen when your son was born in the U.S., you may include him in your application for dual citizenship as your minor derivative

    Good day po Mam Lia. I got my US Citizenship recently. I want to apply for dual citizenship. However, the problem is my birthdate instead of 13th, my NSO BC indicates 12th. I filed a petition at PSA thru QC LCR in tge Philippines but it was denied by PSA. Since I was due for interview at US Embassy in 2016 as immigrant (permanent residence) thru my daughter, I filed an affidavit indicating that 13th was my birthdate with all supporting docs and was readily accepted by US consulate in Manila. Now again I will need to orovide my NSO BC for dual citizenship. What is your advice. Thanks
