I sorry nards, just to clear things up and to avoid confusion, I am not a lawyer or an immigration lawyer or immigration employee for that matter. do have an LLB with actual law background but not yet a lawyer.
So as far as immigration to the states, I do not know the rules, but it depends upon what you are enrolling on. either way, each has its particular requirement and criteria.
as to the dual citizenship law, yeah it is required that one of the parents are natural born in order that the child will be able to derive benefit from the law. Of course the exception is when the child was born when one or both of the parents where still not granted full citizenship because in this case, the child himself is still considered natural born.
Just so you know, am a bit particular with our citizenship laws because i myself wasn't born in our country. So growing up and eventually learning citizenship law, I was very particular with it. (alam mo na, baka di makapagexam hehehehe
TRANS: you know, i might be disqualified in taking the board & bar exams)
However, there were certain instances, were the courts will try to trace the roots of the grandparents because the parent was overseas born. In this instance, the court is merely verifying if the grandparents were natural born in the Philippines, hence the possibility of their child still being natural born, even though he was overseas born. In this case, the overseas born, natural born Pinoy can himself reacquire citizenship.
