Thank you!
Hi Chinacks,
Your...Hi Fortuitous Faery,<br />Thank you!<br /><br />Hi Chinacks,<br />Your husband's experience was similar to what I went through in Europe as well. But thanks for sharing your story. I'll let you know kung asa una nako dad-on akong blue passport.<br /><br />Hi cmsulit,<br />Thanks. Hope you're doing well with your travels in Mindanao.<br /><br />Hi Abaniko,<br />Hats off to you for keeping your part of the bargain, that is, not getting yourself into trouble by doing TNT after a visa expires.<br /><br />Hi Noel Y.C.,<br />I haven't thought about that yet. Doing my civic duties as an American is what's on top of my head right now.<br /><br />Hi bertN,<br />Yup, many have done it but it's not on my mind as yet.<br /><br />Hi Floreta,<br />No, I don't have dual citizenship. I showed the two passports to indicate the change for me from 'green' to 'blue' this time. It would be great for you to do that - retrace your roots for a year or two!<br /><br />Hi witsandnuts,<br />Thanks!<br /><br />Hi Anil,<br />That's true. I read somewhere that Americans have the most countries that allow visa-free travel.The Nomadic Pinoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256568728185196065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611917613633668467.post-7592770543651728302009-07-02T12:24:22.536-04:002009-07-02T12:24:22.536-04:00Congratulations, will sure be easier to travel now...Congratulations, will sure be easier to travel now!Anilhttp://foxnomad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611917613633668467.post-31347004482394542742009-07-02T04:25:44.050-04:002009-07-02T04:25:44.050-04:00Congrats! =)Congrats! =)witsandnutshttp://witsandnuts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611917613633668467.post-1836533357344464102009-07-01T23:12:46.122-04:002009-07-01T23:12:46.122-04:00wow, what a journey and congratulations! it certai...wow, what a journey and congratulations! it certainly is easier to flash the american passport now.. obama is helping our national brand.. :)<br /><br />and ah yes, i know the green and blue passports well. does that mean you have dual-citizenship??<br /><br />i was lucky, in that my birthday was literally months cut-off date of some local law that passed here when i was a kid, that automatically made me a citizen (somethin to do with my step-dad, and american, adopting me.. etc).. i am thinking of moving back to the philippines for a year or two and i feel lucky, again, that i don't need a visa due to balikbayan status!!floretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18220834824793299258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611917613633668467.post-11013911661480101882009-07-01T21:00:26.474-04:002009-07-01T21:00:26.474-04:00Congratulations!

I know when I became a US citizen decades ago, I automatically lost my Philippine citizenship. With the new law, I can regain it by merely filing an application with any of the consulates here. A couple of my sisters-in-law have already done so and they are now citizens of both US and Pinas.bertNhttp://bertnphotoblog.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611917613633668467.post-27573452113420803652009-07-01T05:43:10.705-04:002009-07-01T05:43:10.705-04:00Congrats.

I stayed in the US (Texas, NY, California, Nevada) for close to 6 months hoping my tourist visa will be converted into working visa which will enable me to apply for permanent residence later on. But things did not turn out well and I didn't want to stay as TNT. So I came back to Pinas and decided to stay put in our country. No regrets! But I'm happy for you. Some people will give up almost everything just to have that precious American passport. Cheers to you and happier days ahead! :)Abanikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11875357364145384684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611917613633668467.post-16938578658483474952009-06-30T22:37:27.056-04:002009-06-30T22:37:27.056-04:00congrats Nomadic Pinoy!

Pareha diay ta nga year ni - anhi ug America but I came in December, exactly 3 months gyud after September 11.<br /> <br />Haaay Dens, I'm so proud of you. You deserve it. To me, struggle is an understatement. We earned this citizenship after all that we've been through.<br /> <br />Let me tell you our experience with having a green and a blue passport. I became a citizen last December of 2006. Oniot and I traveled to Europe last year. Lahi ra gyud ang treatment sa tourists with the color of their passports other than blue. Abi bitaw nimo, dirediretso lang ko sa immigration no questions asked whatsoever, si Oniot sige gyud kabilin kay 1 million kabuok questions gipangutana sa iya sa immigration officer with matching grabe na flip flip sa pages sa iyang passport hapit na magisi. Didto gyud nako nakita ang perks of being an American citizen. And when I came back from the Philippines, the immigration officer here said "Welcome back Ma'am". I was speechless.<br /> <br />But enough about me, for the past week everything was about me. So, aha man ang first na tatak sa imo blue passport?<br /> <br />Na hala, take care and God bless...chinacksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611917613633668467.post-1850299507078472782009-06-30T22:00:58.056-04:002009-06-30T22:00:58.056-04:00congrats!congrats!fortuitous faeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782289070632326072noreply@blogger.com
