Hi, I am in desperate need of your help and I am wishing that by posting my story on this website there are people that can help me and give me advice on what I should do with my situation.
I am only 16 years old, I was born in Malabon, Philippines. My father is a Retired U.S Army, he is a Vietnam Veteran and my mother is a filipina. I am a U.S Citizen, and I just renewed my passport last month. I have graduated Highschool here in the Philippines, and after that me and my parents have discussed our terms and I accepted my aunt's gracious offer to let me stay at her place in Pennsylvania USA. I got my passport renewed, and I also bought a ticket to fly back to the USA.
On November 10th, the day I was supposed to be on my way to the U.S. the Philippine immigration put me on hold. I overstayed here in the Philippines for 8 years, and they told that they won't let me leave until I show them a Exit Cleareance and a Extension of Stay......so I missed my flight that day. I went to the Immigration and asked them on what I should do, then they told me that I had to pay PHP 250,000 for over staying. I do not have that kind of money, and by the days pass I am slowly losing hope that I won't ever be able to go back home. I told the immigration that I was born here in the Philippines but according to them I am U.S Citizen so that does not mean that I'm a filipino citizen. I really need advice on what to do, I am just a minor and I need to go back home.
Thank you,
Edith.
