She acquired citizenship last 2000, Is there any preference considered every country of birth? I am a filipino. Can anyone give information please?

Depends on several factors.  But if you're from Philippines then you have a longer wait than others, possibly a 10+ year wait.

Yes, the Phillipines recognizes any child born to one or two citizens of the Phillipines as a citizen, while the US recognizes anyone born on US soil as a US citizen, and neither requires the citizen to relinquish the other.

I think you should ask someone who knows, not some people on the internet. What I think is that dual citizenship is not allowed here.

Be patient.  If you have only been working on it for weeks you are ahead of the game.  I have been advised that it is going to take me a year or more to bring my Filipina wife to the US.

She may seek a US permanent residency based on such cirumstances and legitimate and Humanity ground, if this is whats wants.\nConsider cosulting an immigration layer.

Ask the immigration service here.  They have different documents they recognize sometimes in lieu of a birth certificate or in addition to one.  That will only help for US documents, though.  You need to change or annotate the birth certificate in the Phillipines for Phillipine purposes.

I could go in the wrong direction here...but where were you in the Philippines or here in USA.\n\nI know one thing...whatever amount you have been with have had experience...filipinas save themselves for marriage,unless they have been married before or had to work to earn money.\n\nI have only been with one woman and I'm still married to her.so I couldn't give you any personal experience on the matter.other than my wife makes me happy.

If she didn't have the correct type of Visa, they could have deported her for working.  I have never heard of anyone being deported because INS (Immigration Naturalization Service) said the person was here to work.  Doesn't make sense...Need more information...

I have recently run into the problem of getting a cousin into the States permanently from another country.\nI've asked around at work to other who have immigrated and heard some of the most ridiculous stories you could possibly imagine.\nOne girl had a similar problem as yours.\nHer legally married husband was already an American citizen and gainfully employed in a decent paying medical profession.\nBut it was still not enough to get her here.\nShe and her family were privately informed to get all of her PARENTS property, i.e., their automobiles and bank accounts transferred into HER name alone.\nWhen the records were checked...not delved into, just checked...she was admitted immediately.\n\nThey only wanted to prove she was not destitute and become a welfare recipient.\n\nShe assured me that after the proof of income in the bank accounts and two cars, it was never mentioned again.  And the money was NOT substantial.  Her mother was a secretary and her father a machinist.\n\nAfterwards they just transferred everything right back into her parents name as before.\nIt took three months.\nShe, of course, immediately became a naturalized Citizen upon her arrival to the States to forego any future problems.\nShe's been here for 6 years with no problems whatsoever.\nShe even found employment immediately... at a 7-11 down there street from me ran by a Filipino woman...neither really spoke English.  LOL\n\nBest of luck to you friend!

Its a tough question and does not have single answer to cover it all. You can try doing search using following keywords, "migration law" "residency law" "woman + "residency law"".\n\nEach country have different laws set for residency, inheritance and rights, mostly in Asia, woman are not quiet protected.\n\nAn example in Taiwan, foreign woman married to local man, must have at least accumulated 7 years of residency in order to be eligible for permanent residency. Also it says when there is a divorce proceeding, court rule in favor of the bread winner or the spouse who earn most and with most assets which usually are the men, while on inheritance, the law is unbias on this part.\n\nWhile in Philippines, woman are protected by the law from abuse, when there is a marital separation problem, usually the mother gets the custody of the child regardless of income.\n\nOn religious law, Philippine is predominantly Catholic, which does not have problem on woman issue, while Taiwan, Thailand, Korea are more buddhist that religion does not get involve in legal and state matter, Indonesia and Malaysia are muslim country, you may have to do some more research on this.

American's are not jailer's, Dude! FFS! When you marry a citizen YOU are a CITIZEN of USA. This country lives, and dies on FREEDOM! You ever read any history books on that? Freedom is practically the first word uttered by American babies! Of course you can travel around the world! SHE"S AN AMERICAN, we pretty much do what we want, LOL. Have a nice trip, just don't let her forget to come back if she loves USA!

The question needs to be clarified: is this a case if a) Singaporean national or b) non-Singaporean who has dual citizenship of two other countries.\n\nIf b): as long as both passports are legitimate, it would be ok by Singapore immigration.\n\nIf a): it depends on whether or not Singapore allows their citizens to also take citizenship of another country.

There are thousands of Malaysian PR working in Singapore. Few took up citizenship. Automatic citizenship is given to people born here (among other criteria) but couples are no producing enough and we have a fast aging population. There are some who takes up citizenship for practical reasons including getting housing loans but there are also those who renounces it once back in their country. Tbere are more disadvantages and benefits are not worth unless you are in a desperate situation.

Legally she's australian. But in her heart she is Greek. You have to understand that Greeks take their heritage seriously. So the next time she insists that she is Greek, agree with her.

Yes, you should be able to claim both citizenships.\nThe USCIS website should provide the info - good luck! :)

You can petition her as a fiance. It is probably best to get a lawyer. My husband is from Mexico and he entered the country illegally, we married here and I petitioned him as my husband, he had to pay extra and write a statement apologizing for entering this way. I chose to join him in Mexico during his waiting time (5 mos) because he was not allowed to leave his country. He is now living here as a permanent resident, he can work legally and in 2 more years he can try to become a citizen.
