Although I was born in the Philippines, I became an "instant US citizen" and got my US passport at the Embassy, through my parent, who was born in the US, but later came to live in the Philippines.

When I went to the US Embassy to apply for US passports for my children, their applications were denied because I never lived in the US before their birth. Is there any way that my children can become US citizens without my having to move to US and petitioning them for green cards?

Very truly yours,

RV

We dread being called lolo, lola, grandma and grandpa – because this would be an affirmation that we are old. Times have changed. These days, being a grandparent is enjoyed and celebrated.

Grandparents have been seen dancing with their grandchildren in Orange, listening to the hottest bands play at Dish, or simply taking a stroll with the kiddies at the mall. Being a grandparent is heaven on earth because every little word, smile and hug from the grandchildren will make you forget all your worries.
