My situation is that husband has orders to go to Europe for the next three years and the kids and I are suppose to go with him. My children has there passports but I am having issues with getting me one. this is the issue for me, I was born in the philippines and came here when I was about seven. I had a green card which was in permanent residency status which is lost and expired and so is my brown passport, expired. I am now 35 years old and was never told about getting a citizenship certificate or renewing my green card or passport and had to learn about this all on my own but still lost on what I need to do. We tried to passport using my birth certificate and using my mother's naturalization certificate to prove my citizenship but they did not accept it, I was told I needed to apply for a philippine passport. I called the philippine consulate but they said I may not qualify for one being that my mother was naturalized before I turned 16 which means I aquired citizenship through her. Now I have decided to apply for my naturalization certificate. My question is, what would be the best thing for me to do?
