MrQuib Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I found my lost son in the philippines. I was a Marine there in 1988. He is now 21 years old! Can I still bring him to the US to live with us? Where do I start? What do I do? I live in Iowa, so cheers to everyone out there. MrQuib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotlost Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 If you have birth certificate that list you as the father then he is entitled to a US Passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crev Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I think you need to know what you have at the moment. Documents saying he's your son is a good start. Do you think the mother will help you out? Ask your embassy there in the US for the paper works. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropo Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Is his Filipino mother part of the "us" in the USA? How did you lose him? The US Embassy will require a DNA test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALFREDO Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Sure a DNA Test should be done before all necessary things start, to know 100% that its your son. The Embassy, I believe will also like to recognice that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Be sure to contact the embassy and/or Immigration before getting the DNA test. There has to be an unbroken chain of evidence in order for them to verify that he is your child. If he is, he is then entitled to citizenship and a passport. It all takes time, however. Best of luck.

MrQuib Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 Hey Folks - Thx for the replies. I signed an Affidavit of paternity after he was born and it seems he's entitled to US Passport. I am doing the paperwork now. I don't think a DNA test will be required. Thanks again! MrQuib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submaniac Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Happy things are working out for you. And it is nice to hear about someone actually wanting to take responsibility for his child! Good luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
