Re: Nursing Schools in the Philippines

Thank you SilverDragon.

See: http://travel.state.gov/law/citizens...nship_778.html

From that source:

"POTENTIALLY EXPATRIATING ACTS

Section 349 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1481), as amended, states that U.S. citizens are subject to loss of citizenship if they perform certain specified acts voluntarily and with the intention to relinquish U.S. citizenship. Briefly stated, these acts include:

1. obtaining naturalization in a foreign state (Sec. 349 (a) (1) INA);
2. taking an oath, affirmation or other formal declaration to a foreign state or its political subdivisions (Sec. 349 (a) (2) INA);

I have been told that dual citizenship is no longer possible, but from SilverDragon's information and the above, clearly that is not the case.

However it still would seem very wise to obtain verification from a good immigration lawyer before doing anything that could compromise something as important as choosing a new citizenship.

For instance if I were to seek citizenship in RP and took an oath pledging allegiance to RP (Note: I have no idea what is required but were I to move there I would want to obtain citizenship there) then as the above source implies the oath could be used as a declaritive act of intent to relinquish my US citizen status. Ok, I'm anally retentive when it comes to law, and that has been, on occasion, very, very useful to me.

When it comes to law never think that you can apply logic. The logic of law often is entirely different than common logic. Though I don't care for lawyers much, sometimes they are a necessity.

Re: Nursing Schools in the Philippines

Yeah, I don't really like the thought of already being debt right after graduating. So I would much rather prefer to study in RP if my savings will suffice and like I said, I don't really mind taking the NLE.

Wait, so applying for a re-entry permit and just fly back to the US before the 2 year time is up, during let's say summer break won't work?

Any more advice/opinion on how I would be able to study there legally without actually being an American Citizen would really help me out alot. Thanks!

It will depend on transcripts and country In my opinion

Re: Nursing Schools in the Philippines

Accredited? Is there are an accredition in the US for schools in the Philippines?

It all depends on the records showing the curriculum of the school just like what silverdragon wrote.

Re: Nursing Schools in the Philippines

Yes, I'm not sure where it is but retired military can go to schools under the GI bill for free, and there is a list someplace which tells which accredited schools an American studying under that bill can go to including foreign ones, but upon searching I cannot find it...

Re: Nursing Schools in the Philippines

thanks silverdragon. Is anyone of you studying in University of Makati? any feedbacks on the school and quality of education especially their Regis program for secong coursers.thanks

Re: Nursing Schools in the Philippines

By the way, if you plan to study in the Philippines, make sure you finish the course. In the US, they do not really accredit on a "per subject" basis. Meaning, if you only took-up Nursing 101 in the Philippines, you will still have to re-take Nursing 101 in the US. But if you finished BS Nursing in the Philippines, the US will acknowledge that you are a BSN degree holder - after passing the NLE of course.

Re: Nursing Schools in the Philippines

where in cavite did you study because where from cavite and also planning to pursue nursing in the philipines

Re: Nursing Schools in the Philippines

Hi, I am interested to study nursing in the Philippines but I am concerned about the tuition fees that the school required for a US Citizen (like me). Could someone give me just a general idea about how much would it be? If it is ok, can u include the name of the school as well
Does anybody here who study at Philippines Women's College/University? (that is the school that I have on mind), thank you so much
