Minors traveling abroad
Dear PAO, Hi! I'm an American. I have a non-marital (illegitimate) Filipino child with my Filipina partner. In a public document, I acknowledged him to be my son, and this was duly annotated in his birth certificate. By May this year, I would visit the Philippines, and I plan that upon my return to the US, in that same month, my son would travel with me. By June, my Filipina partner would follow us in the US. If my son travels with me in the US, do I need a travel clearance? If the child travels with her mother, does she need a travel clearance? Steven
