They need to report this to the US Embassy in Manila ASAP to get an FS-240, which will provide proof of US citizenship for their daughter.

Better go to the US Embassy! A child born in the Philippines whose parents are US Citizens is already a US Citizen by Constitution & by-laws.

i imagine we could continually imagine lengthy and complicated formerly tinkering with the structure. The excellent court hasn't ever right away hung on no matter if the 'citizenship by beginning' area of the 14th modification means that citizenship is granted even the position the presence of the youngster's pregnant mom might want to be barred by regulation. besides the undeniable fact that, i might want to manage immigration guidelines to assert that the right of 'kinfolk reunification' which resources a citizen the flexibility to herald kinfolk consisting of mum and dad could not keep on with to anybody who did not have a minimum of one unconditional everlasting resident make sure or citizen make sure on the time of their beginning. That avoids the constitutional difficulty and addresses the 'gaming' with our guidelines.

The child could have dual nationality, which doesn't affect her U.S. citizenship.
