Philippine Immigration
Guzman Taņedo & Acain assists
foreign nationals obtain all kinds of visas before the Philippine Bureau
of Immigration and Deportation. The details of our Philippine
Immigration services are as follows:
:: Obtaining visas for newly hired
employees
We help employers apply for a pre-arranged
employment or 9(g) visas and Alien
Employment Permit for their new
hires. We also help employers secure Provisional Permit to work for
their new hires from foreign countries. We also assist employers extend
or renew the working visas for their existing employees or apply for a
change of status to a new visa category.
:: Visa extension for tourist visitors and
changing the status of
admission
We assist Tourists extend their period of
stay in the Philippines and Change the Status of their admission from
Tourist to a new visa. For example, 9(g)
Employment visa,
Special
Investors Resident Visa (SIRV)
Retirement Visa or
immigrant visa
by reason of marriage to a
Filipino 13(a).
:: Obtaining special visas for former
Filipino
Citizens and reacquisition
of Filipino
Citizenship
We assist former Filipino citizens apply
for a Balikbayan visa or be Recognized as Filipino. This is to
avoid the inconvenience of extending Tourist Visas before the Bureau of
Immigration every month. Balikbayan visa allows former Filipino citizens
to stay in the Philippines for a period of one year without the required
monthly extension of stay.
Our firm is also taking an active role in
assisting former Filipino Citizens reacquire their Filipino Citizenship
after the passage of Republic Act 9225 or the
Citizenship Retention and
Reacquisition Act of 2003 (Dual Citizenship).
:: Immigration Litigation
We render legal assistance to foreign
nationals who are arrested by the operatives of the Bureau of
Immigration. Our services include but not limited to the filing a
Petition for Bail and Voluntary Deportation or Habeas Corpus. Our concern is for the
immediate release of the detainee in the most convenient and expeditious
manner.
:: Lifting of the person's name in the
Bureau's
Blacklist
A person can be blacklisted by the Bureau
of Immigration for reasons such as, that: he/she is an undesirable alien;
likely to become a public charge; overstaying alien; and other
violations of the Philippine Immigration Law. If your name is included
in the blacklist, you cannot anymore enter or leave the country. You
will be arrested by immigration agents if you attempt to do so. If this
unfortunate event does happen, your only remedy is to file a Petition
before the
Bureau of Immigration that your name be removed from the blacklist.
Our Firm assists foreign
nationals whose names were included in the Immigration Black List and
those persons who were barred from re-entering the Philippines. We
will take advantage of the legal process by filing a Petition to Lift
the Order of Black List in order to remedy this situation. Through this
legal process, our Firm has already caused the removal of some names
of foreign nationals in the bureau's blacklist. Our Firm has a
proven track record on this aspect of immigration litigation and
reference of alien nationals who were successfully represented by our
Firm can be provided upon request.
