HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HOPES MIGRANTS! FIRST-YEAR FOLLOW-UP SURVEYS Congratulations on completing your first full year here as U.S. residents! Thank you for keeping in touch and completing your 3month follow up surveys. We are now looking forward to interviewing you about your first year here in the U.S. If you have not yet completed your 3-month interview, we will be conducting a slightly different version of the survey for your 1-year. Also, the 1-year follow-ups will now take 30 minutes instead of 15 – and of course, we will still be providing gift cards in exchange for your time.
AUTOMATIC CITIZENSHIP FOR CHILDREN OF U.S. CITIZENS
Immigrant children of U.S. citizens under 18 years-old automatically acquire U.S. citizenship. This means that a child does not need to http://www.balitangamerica.tv./ undergo the process of naturalization as long as they reside with their http://www.asianjournal.com/ U.S. citizen parent(s) and are under their legal and physical custody http://www.philippinenews.com htttp://www.philippineembassy-usa.org/ and are pursuant to a lawful permanent residency status.It also does not matter if the child is legitimate or illegitimate - what matters is that the parent-child relationship can be solidly established. Lately, however, regulations have been stricter and submission of parents' original certificate of naturalization and applicant's actual green card are no longer sufficient. The best proof to expedite the issuance of the child's U.S. passport is to provide the applicant's certificate of citizenship. Processing time is generally 8-9 months.
