[COLUMN] Lola’s wrong advice resulted in many years of family separation — this Sunday, March 6 on Citizen Pinoy

MIKE (2nd from left) missed the chance to bring his kids to the U.S. due to wrong advice from his well-meaning mother.

Mike was petitioned as single by his mother, but she told him not to bring his children along, since their birth certificates had a date of marriage listed.

Many erroneously assume that a date of marriage on the birth certificate of a child born out of wedlock can be fatal to their case if they are being petitioned as single. This episode proves that is not true.

Watch how leading U.S. Immigration Attorney Michael J. Gurfinkel (right) was able to bring Migs (left) and Myki (3rd from left) to the U.S. under their grandmother’s petition, despite a date of marriage on their birth certificates.

Don’t miss this success story on an encore episode of “Citizen Pinoy” on Sunday, March 6 at 7:00 PM PT (10:00 PM ET thru select Cable/Satellite providers). Citizen Pinoy is also available on iWantTFC. Viewers may download the app for free.
