Deportation from USA to Philippines

by Allen
(Dallas, Tx, US)

I'm originally a citizen of Cebu City, Philippines. I've been in America since I was 8 years old, went to school and graduated from high school in the U.S. I've served in the Armed Forces for about 10 years and deployed to foreign countries 3 times.

I ran into some issues with the law in America and now they are deporting me back to the Philippines. What is the process or procedures once I arrive in the Philippines? Will I be accepted even though I haven't been back for nearly 20 years? What will the government do to me once I arrive?

I'm still a citizen of the Philippines and have a grandmother on my mother's side who resides in US and is an American citizen, but I'm not. I also have cousins, aunts, and uncles there. So, what will be expected of me once I arrive there? I'm worried because I don't know the process and procedures there since I haven't been back to the Philippines in over 20 years, so will I be accepted back in my country of the Philippines after being deported from the U.S.?

Passport NEW
by: Anonymous

Got deported in 2009.. Was able to get an NBI clearance, Police clearance and a job.. Trying to get a passport.. Kind of a long process because if you get deported there is a memorandum under your name if you go to your DFA appointment.. If the memorandum in not in the archives yet then you can probably get it taken cares of the same day but if they have it already in the archive you may need another appointment.. They will also ask for a lot more requirements from you.. Just went there today and had to set another appointment.. I also had to pay twice.. Waiting for the phone call to let me know what to bring and I have another appointment on the 3rd of Oct.. Will let ya'll know what happened..

You will be alright. Remember, some Fil-Am renounced their US citizenship to become full Filipinos. Examples are Poe and Yasay. Share what you learned from the States to improve and change the Philippines for the better. As the famous American President said: Do what you can, where ever you are, when ever you can, what ever you have. Goodluck and Mabuhay!

Passport
by: Anonymous

No, u you wouldn't have no problem getting a passport just don't mention any major crime I guess. Coz I served a 4yrs and half bad when they asked me I just said overstaying. I doidnt surrender my old passport I just said I lost it . You'll need a affidavit of loss, notarized.

Been deported from the US in 2011. Can I obtain a PH passport?
by: Anonymous

I have been deported after serving sentence for over a year in the US and was summarily deported thereafter in 2011. I want to know if the crime I committed in the US and my deportation will bar me from securing another PH passport? Has someone ever applied for another PH passport after undergoing such proceedings?

sharing experiences
by: Anonymous

Same experience with me I was a lil skeptical when they told me I had a hit when I was trying to get my NBI clearance...when I got there I didn't say nothing about my case, she assumed it was for over staying and I just nodded yes. (Drug charges) ..I think one of the best career to do here in pinaz is the BOO industry... even I myself still have dreams and and miss my family back in the states.. it said I may have apply for a non immigrant visa after 10yes but I wonder if that'll be approved with the fact that I have a aggravated felony for immigration when ur sentenced more than 1yr...how I wish it is easy to just cross the borders like the Mexicans...next month I'm gonna try to get my Ph passport and see if I'll get one w/o a problem coz I still plan to travel outside of Ph...anyone here able to travel abroad after being deported? Thanks in advance

NBI or Police clearance
by: Anonymous

for NBI and POLICE CLEARANCEs - no issue. I was hysterical when I applied for NBI and was told to go to the main branch because my name got a hit. you will need to make an online appointment prior to going there though for an "interview". they will ask you to come in one room and ask several questions ***YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TELL THEM THE REASON YOU WRE DEPORTED**** just tell them your name and try to answer with a yes or no answer. they will not handcuff you and incarcerate you again. its a validation that you are back in the country.

Returning to the United States After Deportation

If you want to go back to America again after deportation this article might help if you can still qualify..

Another option is to go to Mexico on a tourist visa then cross the border from there just like what the El Salvadorans and other Latinos are doing. :)

Deported october 2009
by: Anonymous

I got deported 7 years ago. I been working in call centers and online. I had a high profile case in the states(operation candy box). Fedz gave me 70 months. I can get police or NBI clearance. I dont talk to anybody unless they speak english. I got kids in Cebu and I have 1 son in Florida. You can add me on FB(jerson Cruz) if your crime is not rape or molestation. Life is challenging here and I struggle everyday to keep my mind at ease, because it sucks being deported. People ask me why I didnt become a citizen all the time. I never knew I wasnt a citizen and I thought deportation was only for illegal aliens. I was too busy being a bad ass to even think about being a citizen. I learned my lesson and I am content with I have but it still hurts and hard to sleep at night missing my home and family

What the....

Why in the world didn't you become a US citizen after all this time and after serving in the US military??? It just doesn't make any sense. Couldn't you get a good lawyer?

Philippines is ok
by: Cebu Resort

If you are resourceful and adaptive , Philippines is a nice country to stay or even retire. Stay in Cebu, where a mix of business and relaxation is widely practiced. www.cebuspring.com

Been there
by: Anonymous

You will be accepted as a filipino citizen it doesn't matter what ur issues are, once you get an order from an immigration judge that you will be deported, the officers from the ICE will then process your temporary passport and you will be taken to the philippine consulate ( varies to what state you are from ) to take a photo and to let you sign your travel document. Take note that if you commit a crime or not they will detain you.. Remember that America is not the only life where we can build our dreams everything happens for a reason don't lose hope.

You can get police clearance or nbi clearance because a crime or illegal stay in USA happens in USA not here so don't worry.

Life here in philippines could be challenging..

I got deported just recently and I'm just sharing you my experience.. Hope this helps..

yes you will be back
by: Ken Chan

You will be accepted in the Philippines as long as you have your Philippine passport..... no problem , even if you lose your Filipino citizenship , you can always recover it with simple affidavit and pledge of allegiance to the country Philippines... we accept dual citizenship in this country.

consult proper authority
by: Anonymous

Hi Allen,

Better consult the proper authorities like Philippine Embassy online about your case, that kind is I think, one of their forte.
