U.S. Embassy in Manila Resumes Limited In-Person Passport Service Operations on September 1st

The American Citizen Services (“ACS”) at the U.S. Embassy in Manila will resume limited in-person passport service operations on September 1st by appointment only. Other routine ACS operations such as notarial services, affidavits in lieu of legal capacity to marry and Consular Reports of Birth Abroad will remain suspended.

Prior to making an appointment, applicants are encouraged to visit the Embassy’s US Citizen Services website to review passport requirements. Applicants who are eligible to renew their passports by mail are strongly encouraged to do so.

To comply with social distancing guidelines, the ACS Unit is working with limited staff and will be strictly controlling the number of people in the waiting room at any given time.

For more information, contact ACS at acsinfomanila@state.gov or info@enterlinepartners.com and speak with a U.S. immigration attorney in Manila.

Federal Judge Strikes Down Parole-in-Place Program

A U.S. Federal Court Judge has struck down Parole-in-Place following an earlier decision granting the State of Texas and fifteen (15) other states an administrative stay two months ago. Judge J. Campbell Barker of the Eastern District of Texas ruled that the program, which would fast-track permanent residency to certain undocumented immigrants to obtain lawful permanent residents who are spouses and stepchildren of U.S. citizens, “exceeded its statutory authority and is not in accordance with the law.”  Judge Barker further added that the program “focuses on the wrong thing, in identifying ‘significant public benefits’- the benefits of aliens’ new legal status – rather than their presence in the country.”  At the time of publishing this article, it is unclear whether the Biden Administration will appeal Judge Barker’s ruling.  For more information on this ruling, please contact us at info@enterlinepartners.com.

Can I send my Absentee Ballot to a U.S. Embassy or Consulate for the Upcoming Presidential Election?

We have previously discussed who is eligible to vote in U.S. elections and how American citizens abroad (i.e. Vietnam, the Philippines, and Taiwan) can send their ballots by mail or use designated dropboxes to vote for their presidential and state and local candidates. U.S. citizens who are unable to physically drop off their ballots at certain locations in Vietnam, the Philippines and Taiwan may also mail their ballots directly to the U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City, the U.S. Embassy in Manila, or the American Institute in Taiwan in Taipei at the following addresses: U.S. Consulate Ho Chi Minh CityAmerican Citizen Services Unit4 Le Duan Blvd. District 1Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam U.S. Embassy ManilaAmerican Citizen Services Unit1201 Roxas Blvd.Manila, Philippines 1000 American Institute of TaiwanAmerican Citizen Services Unit100 Jinhu Road Neihu DistrictTaipei, Taiwan 114017 When sending sealed ballots to the addresses above, registered voters will need two envelopes.
