Can a filipino-japanese citizen married to a filipino citizen in the philippines file a divorce in japan?
Q. Divorce is legal in Japan but does not have dual citizenship so he chose to be a Japanese citizen there. While on the other-hand the Philippines considers dual citizenship but there's no divorce there just annulment. If he(a dual filipino citizen) is married to a pure filipino citizen in the Philippines filed a divorce in Japan, is there still a need for an annulment in the Philippines?

A. Would a "pure" Filipino citizen in your friend's situation have to file for annulment in the Philippines? If yes, then so does your friend. Since he's a citizen of both countries he needs to follow the procedures of both lands.

A. As an Aussie tourist you can extend your stay by 59 days at a time up to 2 years. Easily done at BI offices. Once you marry you can apply for a non quota 13a residents visa which will allow you to live here permanently.. Check here for all the details you need on both these options and other info you will need: You have plenty of time to decide on the right course for you so don't rush into anything you may later regret.

what is the process for a Filipino citizen to become an American citizen?
Q. I am specifically asking about a Filipina citizen, because I think maybe people from different countries face different circumstances in doing this.
Asked by knbv08 - Thu May 8 06:05:15 2008 - Embassies & Consulates - 2 Answers - Comments

A. the process is the same for all people applying no exception, Citizenship is one of the most coveted gifts that the U.S. government can bestow, and the most important immigration benefit that USCIS can grant. Most people become U.S. citizens in one of two ways: By birth, either within the territory of the United States or to U.S. citizen parents, or By Naturalization. In addition, in 2000, Congress passed the Child Citizenship Act (CCA), which allows any child under the age of 18 who is adopted by a U.S. citizen and immigrates to the United States to acquire immediate citizenship. This channel of USCIS.gov will give you information on the various paths to citizenship. This page can be found at go to this page to read the process:

A. As an American citizen, you wouldn't need a visa before traveling to Dubai. You would apply for the visa on arrival at the airport in Dubai, like any other US citizen, assuming you are traveling on your US passport. Take a look at travel.state.gov and check out the consular information sheet for the United Arab Emirates.

For farmlands, there is a limit of 5 hectares that will not be subject to agrarian land reform should the workers tilling the land want to take over.
